In order to operate multi drone efficiently, existing control methods must be improved, and drones must be able to construct communication networks autonomously. FANET(Flying Ad-Hoc Network), which is being considered as an alternative to solving these problems, is based on ad hoc network technology and can be exposed to a variety of security vulnerabilities. However, due to the limited computational power and memory of FANET nodes, and rapid and frequent changes in network topology, it is not easy to apply the existing security measures to FANET without modification. Thus, this paper proposes lightweight security measures applicable to FANET, which have distinct characteristics from existing ad hoc networks by utilizing PUF technology. The proposed security measures utilize unique values generated by non-replicable PUFs to increase the safety of AODV, FANET's reactive routing protocol, and are resistant to various attacks.

In this paper, it is necessary to study the bandwidth and network system for efficient image transmission in the current era of drone imaging, and to design routing protocols to round out and cluster two or more multi-drones. First, we want to construct an ad hoc network to control the multidrone. Several studies are underway for the clustering of drones. The aircraft ad hoc network (FANET) is an important foundation for this research. A number of routing protocols have been proposed to design a FANET, and these routing protocols show different performances in various situations and environments. The routing protocol used to design the FANET is tested using the routing protocol used in the existing mobile ad hoc network (MANET). Therefore, we will use MANET to simulate the routing protocol to be used in the FANET, helping to select the optimal routing protocol for future FANET design. Finally, this paper describes the routing protocols that are mainly used in MANET and suitable for FANET, and the performance comparison of routing protocols, which are mainly used in FANET design.

This study performed an on-site demonstration of the topographic surveying technique at a large-scale open-pit limestone mine in Korea using a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, Drone, SenseFly eBee). 288 sheets of aerial photos were taken by an automatic flight for 30 minutes under conditions of 300 m altitude and 12 m/s speed. Except for 37 aerial photos in which no keypoint was detected, 251 aerial photos were utilized for data processing including correction and matching, then an orthomosaic image and digital surface model with 7 cm grid spacing could be generated. A comparison of the X, Y, Z-coordinates of 4 ground control points measured by differential global positioning system and those determined by fixed-wing UAV photogrammetry revealed that the root mean squared errors were around 15 cm. Because the fixed-wing UAV has relatively longer flight time and larger coverage area than rotary-wing UAVs, it can be effectively utilized in large-scale open-pit mines as a topographic surveying tool.

In this study, digital elevation models(DEM) of tidal flat, according to different times, was produced by means of the Drone and commercial software in order to measure seawater change during high tide at water-channel in the Hampyung Bay. To correct the produced DEMs of the tidal flat where is inaccessible to collect control points, the DEM matching method was applied by using the reference DEM, that is previously obtained, instead of the survey. After the ortho-image was made from the corrected DEM, the land cover classified image was produced. The changes of seawater amount according to the times were analyzed by using the classified images and DEMs. As a result, it was confirmed that the amount of water rapidly increased as the time passed during high tide.

In order to inspect the existing or newly constructed ship's hull, a professional diver directly inspects the ship's bottom of the water. However, since it is a work done by people, there are many dangers such as human casualties and crashes. To solve this problem, it is necessary to develop underwater drones for ship inspection for visual inspection. The technology applied to underwater drones, the use and manufacturing process of each component, and the method of manufacture such as firmware development were described, and the difference was compared by measuring the drone's own driving ability and driving ability using crawler under water, and the location tracking device test confirmed the error from the actual location. It is estimated that the use of underwater drones produced through this research will prevent human casualties and achieve economic effects and stability.

Drone-mounted hyperspectral sensors (DHSs) have revolutionized remote sensing in agriculture by offering a cost-effective and flexible platform for high-resolution spectral data acquisition. Their ability to capture data at low altitudes minimizes atmospheric interference, enhancing their utility in agricultural monitoring and management. This study focused on addressing the challenges of radiometric and geometric distortions in preprocessing drone-acquired hyperspectral data. Radiometric correction, using the empirical line method (ELM) and spectral reference panels, effectively removed sensor noise and variations in solar irradiance, resulting in accurate surface reflectance values. Notably, the ELM correction improved reflectance for measured reference panels by 5-55%, resulting in a more uniform spectral profile across wavelengths, further validated by high correlations (0.97-0.99), despite minor deviations observed at specific wavelengths for some reflectors. Geometric correction, utilizing a rubber sheet transformation with ground control points, successfully rectified distortions caused by sensor orientation and flight path variations, ensuring accurate spatial representation within the image. The effectiveness of geometric correction was assessed using root mean square error(RMSE) analysis, revealing minimal errors in both east-west(0.00 to 0.081 m) and north-south directions(0.00 to 0.076 m).The overall position RMSE of 0.031 meters across 100 points demonstrates high geometric accuracy, exceeding industry standards. Additionally, image mosaicking was performed to create a comprehensive representation of the study area. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the applied preprocessing techniques and highlight the potential of DHSs for precise crop health monitoring and management in smart agriculture. However, further research is needed to address challenges related to data dimensionality, sensor calibration, and reference data availability, as well as exploring alternative correction methods and evaluating their performance in diverse environmental conditions to enhance the robustness and applicability of hyperspectral data processing in agriculture.

As such, with the emergence of various types of drones over the years, in a broad sense, a remote controlled mobile object that can be controlled by wired and wireless control may be a suitable definition for drone because of various types of drones in recent years. This paper aims to help readers who want to research, develop, and use drones by examining the history, application fields, and future prospects of drones, including Unmanned Surface Vehicle(USV) and Unmanned Underwater Vehicles(UUV), as well as aerial type drones. Through this paper, it is expected that these drones will continue to be used in various fields in the future, and the prospect of future development will continue constantly. However, for the development of domestic drone technology and industry, the government's improvement in drone-related regulations should be supported.

In the recent weapon system trend, it is required to develop small and low cost guidance missile to track and strike the enemy target effectively. Controling the such small drone typed weapon demands a integrated electronic device that equipped with not only a wireless network interface, a high resolution camera, various sensors for target tracking, and position and attitude control but also a high performance processor that integrates and processes those sensor outputs in real-time. In this paper, we propose the android smartphone as a solution for that and implement the guidance and control application of the missile. Furthermore, the performance of the implemented guidance and control application is analyzed through the simulation.
