Spatial information is geometrical information combined with the properties of an object. In city areas where unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) usage demand is high, it is necessary to determine the appropriate driving altitude considering the height of buildings for safe driving. In this study, we propose a data-provision method that generates the driving altitude of UAVs with a pseudo-3D building model. The pseudo-3D building model is developed using high-precision spatial information provided by the National Geographic Information Institute. The proposed method generates the driving altitude of the UAV in terms of tile information, including the UAV's starting and arrival points and a straight line between the two points, and provides the data to users. To evaluate the efficacy of the proposed method, UAV driving altitude information was generated using data of 763 551 pseudo-3D buildings in Seoul. Subsequently, the generated driving altitude data of the UAV was verified in AirSim. In addition, the execution time of the proposed method and the calculated driving altitude were analyzed.

The effect of altitude on thermal conduction, surface temperature, and thermal radiation of partial arc was investigated on the basis of molecular gas dynamics to facilitate a deep understanding of the pollution surface discharge mechanism. The DC flashover model was consequently modified at high altitude. The validity of the modified DC flashover model proposed in this paper was proven through a comparison with the results of high-altitude simulation experiments and earlier models. Moreover, the modified model was found to be better than the earlier modified models in terms of forecasting the flashover voltage. Findings indicated that both the thermal conduction coefficient and the surface thermodynamics temperature of partial arc had a linear decrease tendency with the altitude increasing from 0 m to 3000 m, both of which dropped by approximately 30% and 3.6%, respectively. Meanwhile, the heat conduction and the heat radiation of partial arc both had a similar linear decrease of approximately 15%. The maximum error of DC pollution flashover voltage between the calculation value according to the modified model and the experimental value was within 6.6%, and the pollution flashover voltage exhibited a parabola downtrend with increasing of pollution.

본 논문에서는 레이더 이용 시 대기 굴절에 의한 고고도 표적물의 고도 오차를 최소화하기 위한 한국형 지수모델을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 한국 7개 기상 관측소에서 6년간 측정된 데이터를 바탕으로 표면 굴절도(surface refractivity)와 굴절도 감쇄율(refractivity gradient) 간의 상관 관계를 최소 자승법을 이용하여 도출하고, 이를 지수모델에 적용하였다. 또한, 제안된 모델의 검증을 위해 표준 대기(standard atmosphere) 모델, CRPL(Central Radio Propagation Lab.) 지수 모델, 제안된 한국형 지수 모델에 대한 고도 오차를 광선 추적법을 이용하여 도출하고, 그 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 표준 대기 모델에 비해서는 50~60 %, CRPL 지수 모델에 비해서는 약 60 % 수준의 고도 오차를 나타내 제안된 모델을 적용 시 레이더의 고도 예측 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The study aims to propose a method that shall rapidly acquire 3D spatial information of the frequently changing city areas by using the low altitude aerial images taken by the UAV. The artificial 3D model of the artificial structures was constructed using the aerial image data photographed at the test area, calibration data of the non-metric camera and the results of the ground control point survey. Also, the digital surface model was created for areas that were changed due to a number of civil works. Through the above studies, the possibilities of constructing a 3D virtual city model, renewal of 3D GIS database, abstraction of changed information in geographic features and on-demand updating of the digital map were suggested.

Reduction of the atmospheric pressure in high altitude affects brake booster system which was operated by the difference between the intake pressure and the atmospheric pressure. So, braking system can not stably perform due to decrease of brake boost pressure. In this study, effects of altitude change on engine intake pressure was analyzed by prediction model of engine intake pressure which was studied previously. And engine intake pressure was simulated by simulation model in various driving conditions and environmental conditions.

An experimenal study on flight control of high-speed AEV(Aero-levitation Electric Vehicle) scale model in wind-tunnel is conducted. The AEV is to fly at very low altitude in predesigned track so that it is always under the wing-in-ground effect. The experiment is intended to fly the scale model to follow the predesigned altitude schedule while holding its attitude (pitch, roll, and yaw). Especially, the altitude changes for climb, cruise, and descent with constant pitch angle are most important maneuvers. The experiment shows that the required mission flights can be performed with appropriate sensors, processors, and actuators.

무인기의 INS/GPS/기압고도계 결합항법 시스템에서 수직채널감쇠루프를 사용하여 고도 오차를 보정할 때 비행 고도의 오차를 감소시키기 위해서 기압고도계의 정밀도를 향상시켜야한다. 피토정압관을 사용하여 기압 고도를 측정할 때 비행 속도와 자세 등의 변화에 따라 피토정압관 주위의 압력이 변하여 정압 오차에 의한 기압 고도의 오차를 유발한다. 정압 오차를 보정하기 위하여 풍동 시험과 CFD, 비행 시험 등의 자료를 이용하여 피토정압관 측정 압력의 변화를 분석하고 받음각과 비행 속도에 따른 압력 오차의 모델을 수립하였다. 비행 속도 변화에 의한 오차를 보정하기 위하여 피토정압관의 차압과 차압/정압 비를 사용한 두 가지 오차 모델에 대하여 압력 섭동에 대한 민감도 해석을 하였고 비행 시험에 적용하여 차압/정압 비를 사용한 모델이 고고도 비행 특성이 우수하다는 결론을 얻었다.

As observed in the recent war, suppression of enemy air defense operation is one of the major tactics, simultaneously conducted with high payoff target. Specifically, our air defense operation should be properly constructed, since the operating environment of our forces mostly consists with mountainous terrain, which makes detections of the enemy difficult. The effective arrangements of low altitude air defense radars can be suggested as a way of improving the detection capability of our forces. In this paper, we consider the location problem of low altitude air defense radar, and formulate it as an Integer Programming. Specifically, we surveyed the previous researches on facility location problems and applied two particularly relevant models(MCLP, MEXCLP) to our problem. The terrain factor was represented as demand points in the models. We verified the optimal radar locations for operational situations through simulation model which depicts simple battle field. In the simulation model, the performance of optimal radar locations are measured by the enemy detection rate. With a series of experiments, we may conclude that when locating low altitude air defense radars, it is important to consider the detection probability of radar. We expect that this finding may be helpful to make a more effective air defense plan.

Clouds are an important factor in aircraft flight. In particular, a significant impact on small aircraft flying at low altitude. Therefore, we have verified and characterized the low level cloud prediction data of the Unified Model(UM) - based Local Data Assimilation and Prediction System(LDAPS) operated by KMA in order to develop cloud forecasting service and contents important for safety of low-altitude aircraft flight. As a result of the low level cloud test for seven airports in Korea, a high correlation coefficient of 0.4 ~ 0.7 was obtained for 0-36 leading time. Also, we found that the prediction performance does not decrease as the lead time increases. Based on the results of this study, it is expected that model-based forecasting data for low-altitude aviation meteorology services can be produced.

Thermospheric wind observations from high to mid latitudes are compared with the newly developed Multiscale Atmosphere Geospace Environment (MAGE) model for the Nov 3-4 geomagnetic storm. The observation and simulation comparison shows a very good agreement and is better at high latitudes in general. We were able to identify a thermospheric poleward wind reduction possibly linked to a northward turning of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) at ~22 UT on Nov 3 and an enhancement of the poleward wind to a southward turning near 10 UT on Nov 4 at high latitudes. An IMF southward turning may have led to an enhancement of equatorward winds at Boulder, Colorado near midnight. Simultaneous occurrence of aurora may be associated with an IMF By turning negative. The MAGE model wind simulations are consistent with observations in these cases. The results show the model can be a very useful tool to further study the magnetosphere and ionosphere coupling on short time scales.
