Recently an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been widely used for military and civil applications. The role of a navigation system in the UAV is to provide navigation data to the flight control computer (FCC) for guidance and control. Since performance of the FCC is highly reliant on the navigation data, a fault in the navigation system may lead to a disastrous failure of the whole UAV. Therefore, the navigation system should possess a fault detection and isolation (FDI) algorithm. This paper proposes an attitude determination GPS/INS integrated navigation system with an FDI algorithm for a UAV. Hardware for the proposed navigation system has been developed. The developed hardware comprises a commercial inertial measurement unit (IMU) and the integrated navigation package (INP) which includes an attitude determination GPS (ADGPS) receiver and a navigation computer unit (NCU). The navigation algorithm was implemented in a real-time operating system with a multi-tasking structure. To evaluate performance of the proposed navigation system, a flight test has been performed using a small aircraft. The test results show that the proposed navigation system can give accurate navigation results even in a high dynamic environment.

Wind tunnel testing for flow-through model is necessary for performance prediction of an aircraft with air-breathing jet engine. Internal drag correction and wall correction are performed to acquire preciser wind tunnel test data. Many test runs are generally required to correct internal drag and wall interference in wind tunnel test. In this study we investigated more effective correction schemes using the response surface method. Even though the number of tests required for these schemes was much smaller than that for conventional methods, the differences between corrections using these schemes and conventional methods were similar level with the uncertainty of measurement except for the data near the boundaries.

헬리콥터는 다른 항공기에 비해 저고도에서 운용되며 이착륙도 활주로 이외의 산간지역, 일반 임야에서도 이루어진다. 저고도 운행은 엔진이 눈, 호우 등의 잦은 대기환경 변화에서 운용되어야 함을 의미한다. 또한 비활주로에서의 이착륙으로 인해 모래, 먼지와 같은 유해물질이 엔진 내부로 흡입될 가능성이 높아진다. 이러한 운용 환경은 가스가 지나가는 엔진 구성품의 손상을 증가시킬 수 있다. 온라인 상태감시 프로그램은 SIMULINK를 이용하여 개발하였으며 입력 모듈에서 실제 엔진 계측 신호를 모사하였다. 개발된 온라인 상태감시 모니터링 프로그램의 실제 헬리콥터 엔진에 적용 가능 여부를 확인하기 위하여 터보샤프트 엔진에 적용하였다.

Classification of radar signals in the field of electronic warfare is a problem of discriminating threat types by analyzing enemy threat radar signals such as aircraft, radar, and missile received through electronic warfare equipment. Recent radar systems have adopted a variety of modulation schemes that are different from those used in conventional systems, and are often difficult to analyze using existing algorithms. Also, it is necessary to design a robust algorithm for the signal received in the real environment due to the environmental influence and the measurement error due to the characteristics of the hardware. In this paper, we propose a radar signal classification method which are not affected by radar signal modulation methods and noise generation by using deep learning techniques.

The runway visual range is one of the important factors that decide the possibility of taking offs and landings of the airplane at local airports. The runway visual range is affected by weather conditions like fog, wind, etc. The pilots and aviation related workers check a local weather forecast such as runway visual range for safe flight. However there are several local airfields at which no other forecasting functions are provided due to realistic problems like the deterioration, breakdown, expensive purchasing cost of the measurement equipment. To this end, this study proposes a prediction model of runway visual range for a local airport by applying convolutional neural network that has been most commonly used for image/video recognition, image classification, natural language processing and so on to the prediction of runway visual range. For constituting the prediction model, we use the previous time series data of wind speed, humidity, temperature and runway visibility. This paper shows the usefulness of the proposed prediction model of runway visual range by comparing with the measured data.

Many countries are striving to reduce carbon emissions with the goal of net zero by 2050. Accordingly, vehicles are rapidly being electrified to reduce greenhouse gases in the transportation sector. However, many organizations predict that internal combustion engines of LDV (light-duty vehicle) will exist even in 2050, and it is difficult to electrify aircraft and large ships in a short time. Therefore, synthetic fuel (i.e., e-Fuel) that can reduce carbon emissions and replace existing fossil fuels is in the spotlight. The e-Fuel refers to a fuel synthesized by using carbon obtained through various carbon capture technologies and green hydrogen produced by eco-friendly renewable energy. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the injection and spray characteristics of the simulated e-Gasoline. We mixed the hydrocarbon fuel components according to the composition ratio of the synthetic fuel produced based on the FT(Fischer-Tropsch) process. As a result of injection rate measurement, simulated e-Gasoline showed no significant difference in injection delay and injection period compared to standard gasoline. However, due to the low vapor pressure of the simulated e-Gasoline, the spray tip penetration (STP) was lower, and the size of spray droplets was larger than that of traditional gasoline.

In order to avoid the high observability due to the cavity resonance or electromagnetic wave leakages from the bridge of a battleship or the cockpit of an aircraft, this paper presents a transparent conductive oxide coated structure to prevent the incoming/outgoing electromagnetic waves. Currently, most of the RCS reduction technologies were focused on radar absorbing material such as paints based on conductive or magnetic materials in the fuselage, and there is not much research on countermeasures for achieving the low observability of materials that required optical transparency in actual weapon systems. In this study, the transmission/reflection and absorption performance of the ITO coated structure according to the change of the surface resistance of the transparent conductor were analyzed. Finally, the relationship between the electromagnetic and optical characteristics was established through fabrication and measurement.

Hydrogen peroxide is a reservoir of OH radical which is the powerful oxidant in the atmosphere. Therefore, the status of the oxidizing atmosphere could be reflected on the concentration of $H_{2}O_{2}$. In this study, the distribution of $H_{2}O_{2}$ was determined during the intensive aircraft measurements over the Yellow sea in March, December 2002, April, November 2003 and March, October 2004. Flights covered from $124^{circ}E\;to\;129^{circ}E\;and\;35^{circ}N\;to\;37^{circ}N$, and extending to 3,000 m. The flight patterns were set properly to assess the altitudinal and longitudinal distribution for $H_{2}O_{2}$. $H_{2}O_{2}$ was extracted onto aqueous solution using a continuously flowing glass coil and analyzed by a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) accompanied with a fluorescence detector using postcolumn enzyme derivatization. Mixing ratios of $O_{3},\;NO_{x}\;and\;SO_{2}$ were measured in real time by commercial analysis instruments. Along the heights, the maximum concentration of $H_{2}O_{2}$ appeared around 1,500 m then gradually decreased with increasing altitude. The vertical behavior of ozone showed the similar trend to $H_{2}O_{2}$. The mean mixing ratio of $NO_{x}$ was about 2 ppbv and not showed clear vertical distribution patterns. The mean value of was the same as $NO_{x}$ however $SO_{2}$ appeared extreme concentration in low altitude. $H_{2}O_{2}\;and\;O_{3}$ showed even longitudinal distribution however $NO_{x}$ mixing ratio in land ($127^{circ}E$) was much higher than over the sea. $SO_{2}$ rather decreased with increasing longitude. $H_{2}O_{2}$ was in inverse proportion to $NO_{x}$ in spring and summer and $SO_{2}$ in spring, which indicated its significant role to NO and $SO_{2}$ oxidation pathways.

최근 동적 DGPS 위치결정에 의한 사진기준점 측량은 국가기본도 작성과 지적재조사 사업을 비롯한 각종 국토개발 분야에 활용할 수 있으며, 앞으로 GPS 수신기 보급의 증가와 더불어 촬영시 비행동체의 정확한 움직임을 고려한 보간기법의 개발, 관성 측량기에 의한 GPS의 단점보완 등에 관한 지속적인 연구가 요청되고 있다. GPS를 이용한 항공사진측량 방법에서는 항공기에 탑재한 GPS 수신기로 촬영 순간의 노출점의 위치와 회전각을 정확히 결정함으로써 외부표정요소 결정을 위한 지상기준점 측량을 생략하거나 또는 최소한의 기준점만을 사용하여 외부표정요소를 결정할 수 있으며, 이에 따라 지형도 제작에 대한 시간과 경비를 크게 절감할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 전통적 항공사진측량방법과 GPS 항공사진측량방법을 동시에 수행하고 두 방법의 결과를 비교하여 이들 방법간의 정밀도 및 효율성 등을 평가하고자 하였다. 연구결과 전통적 항공사진측량에 비하여 GPS 항공사진측량의 다양한 장점을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히, 외부표정에 필요한 지상기준점의 수는 약 70%～805이상, 지형도제작 비용은 약 30%～50%이상 절감할 수 있었다. 뿐만 아니라 기준점의 수를 크게 생략하였음에도 불구하고 정밀도에는 영향이 없었음을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 전 세계 3대 에어쇼 중의 하나인 "FIA(Farnborough International Airshow, 판보로 국제 에어쇼)"의 참여기관/업체를 대상으로 네트워크 분석을 활용하여 항공우주분야 기술동향을 분석하였다. 판보로 국제 에어쇼는 전 세계 주요 항공관련 민간 및 방산 업체와 각국 정부 및 군 관계자가 참여하여 항공우주산업분야에 대한 최신 기술을 선보이는 중요한 행사로서, 2018 FIA에서는 총 112개 국가에서 1,500여 업체(기관)가 참여하였다. 본 연구에서는, 항공우주분야 기술관련 45개 국가, 1,108개 업체를 대상으로 223개의 기술 분류 카테고리를 통해 네트워크 분석 중 하나인 키워드 기반의 중심성 분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과, 전 세계적 우주항공 분야의 핵심기술은 "Machining"으로 조사되었다. 하지만 지역(국가) 별로 분류되는 핵심기술은 다소 다른 경향을 보여주고 있었는데, 유럽(EU)과 영국의 경우 "Machining", 아시아의 경우 "Aircraft Components", 미국의 경우 "Engine Components/controls"가 식별되었다. 우리나라의 경우에는 관련 기관/업체 수의 부족으로 뚜렷한 중심 기술이 식별되지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과가 우주항공분야 기술기획 및 연구 방향성 제시를 위한 참고자료로서 활용 될 수 있으며, 또한 국내 관련 업체의 수출 진흥을 위한 국외 주요 기술 분야를 제시하는데 유용하게 활용되리라 기대한다.
