This paper describes analysis results of vibration characteristics and modal test for a small-scale quad-rotor drone. The rotor arm has a slender body with a propeller and motor at its tip. Rotor system generates excitation for an unbalanced mass. Therefore, the drone platform is involved in the possibility of resonance. For advance identification of the possibility of resonance, confirmation of eigen-mode being closest to the propeller operation range is necessary. Material properties of CFRP tubes used for the rotor arm were acquired by finding the natural frequency based on Rayleigh method. A simplified quad-rotor FE model consisting of rotor arm assembly with tip mass was built to perform numerical analysis, and a free-free boundary condition was applied to provide flight status. Modal tests for the actual platform with impact hammer instrument were performed to verify analysis results. Separation margin from hazardous eigen-mode was checked on the propeller operation range.

In order to understand flying aircraft, satellite, missile, etc, a telemetry ground system is used to receive, record, and process the transmitted radio signal from vehicles. In some cases, a line-of-sight communication is not possible along to the trajectory of vehicles, and multipath fading result in a shade area of communication. A number of telemetry ground systems are installed to overcome this limitation, and acquire the transmitted signal seamlessly. The telemetry signals received by multiple independent ground systems have independent probability of errors since they experienced their own communication channels. In other words, we can exploit the independent error characteristics of received signals by processing them in a hybrid method. The optimum hybrid post-process method is proposed in this study, and applied to process telemetry signals acquired from flight tests.

Endothermic fuels are known as a probable fuel for hypersonic atmospheric flight vehicles and advanced propulsion systems, as well as cryogenic fuels. Especially, from the standpoint of the advanced regenerative cooling use, they are quite useful as a coolant fuel because of their large heat sink due to their chemical decompositions; so-called endothermic cooling effect. However, no heat transfer equations have been proposed taking into account such endothermic reactive behaviors concretely. This paper describes an analytical method for evaluation of the heat transfer rates between endothermic reacting coolant fuel and coolant-side wall in the regenerative cooling passages. Heat transfer mechanism is indicated based on a classical transport-phenomenological approach. A new relational expression of Nusselt number ratio for forcedconvective heat transfer with such endothermic reactions is also proposed by theoretical approaches using some classical hypotheses. Its applicability is assessed provisionally by comparison with confirmed results of heated tube tests for supercritical JP-7 fuel carried out at NASA Lewis Research Center, using its heat sink characteristics evaluated by United Technologies Research Center(UTRC). As a result, it has been suggested that the proposed relational equation is applicable to the evaluation of enhancement of Nusselt numbers due to such reactions in developed turbulent flows such as in the regenerative cooling passages.

초기 설계단계에서 세 개의 전압력센서와 두 개의 정압력센서로 구성된 압력획득 장치를 이용하여 초고속 유동 상태에서 공력 데이터 산출 알고리즘 개발에 대하여 기술하였다. 개발 알고리즘으로부터 마하수, 받음각 및 사이드슬립각을 미리 정의된 테이블 데이터 및 내삽법(interpolation)을 적용하여 손쉽게 얻을 수 있다. 초기 설계 단계에서 개발 프로그램을 검증하기 위해 사용된 테이블 데이터는 Taylor-Maccoll 관계식으로부터 획득한 자료로 구성하였다. 또한 데이터는 CFD 해석에 기초한 계산결과와 비교 및 수정되었다. 금번에 제시된 알고리즘은 다양한 항공기 와 시험에 필요한 초음속 유동데이터 획득에 유용하게 적용될 것으로 기대된다.

This paper proposes an improved test and evaluation methodology to be conducted for a in-flight threat-countermeasure encounter scenario. Although the conventional test method adopted in the precedent researches allows high precision and safety, such full-scale method is practically not appropriate to apply to small-scale test rounds for evaluating the subparts of the ammunition. To address this problem, this study suggests a readily-applicable, small-scale test and evaluation method of the subpart of the ammunition in firing test. In the threat-countermeasure encounter scenario, the results of several tests demonstrate that the proposed technique does not deteriorate the precision when the engagement point should be adjusted.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the face validity of the revised EPTA (English Proficiency Test for Aviation) to see if the tests actually contribute to the enhancement of aviation safety and achieve the purpose of the assessment. In order to reach the above objectives, 103 pilot test takers were surveyed, and nine in-depth interviewees were selected and interviewed. In addition, detailed research results were derived by dividing the participants into the pilot's flight experience (31 captain pilots, 42 first officer pilots, and 30 general commercial pilots). As a result, pilot participants were generally aware that EPTA was more reasonable because the revised EPTA properly implemented the aviation situation and gave participants motivation to learn aviation English. It was also seen that first officer pilots had a higher face validity of EPTA than captain and general commercial pilots. The reason was that first officer pilots considered air traffic control job was more important than other pilots did.

본 논문에서는 비정렬 CFD 해석자 UMSAPv에 적용된 중첩 격자 기법의 검증을 위하여 항공기에 장착된 store의 장착하중을 구하였다. 먼저, 잘 알려진 Eglin Wing/Pylon/Finned store 문제에 대해 UMSAPv의 중첩 격자 기법을 검증하였다. 다음으로 F/A-18C clean 형상에서 대하여 받음각에 따른 아음속 유동해석을 수행하였다. 계산 결과를 정렬 CFD 해석자인 MSAPv을 사용한 선행연구결과와 비교하여 Umsapv의 해석능력을 검증하였다. 마지막으로 F/A-18C/JDAM의 장착하중은 중첩 격자와 단일 격자로 수행하였다. 계산된 결과는 다른 CFD결과, 실험 및 비행시험과 비교하였다.

Synthetic dynamic infrared image generation from the given virtual environment is being the primary goal to simulate the output of the infra-red(IR) camera installed on a vehicle to evaluate the control algorithm for various search & reconnaissance missions. Due to the difficulty to obtain actual IR data in complex environments, Artificial intelligence(AI) has been used recently in the field of image data generation. In this paper, CycleGAN technique is applied to obtain a more realistic synthetic IR image. We added the Structural Similarity Index Measure(SSIM) loss function to the L1 loss function to generate a more realistic synthetic IR image when the CycleGAN image is generated. From the simulation, it is applicable to the guided-missile flight simulation tests by using the synthetic infrared image generated by the proposed technique.

오늘날 개발되는 항공전자 시스템에서는 연합 구조(Federated Architecture)를 기반으로 전자장치들이 각각 하나의 소프트웨어 모듈이나 응용 프로그램을 수행하고 있으며 이들은 네트워크를 통해 연결된다. 이러한 연합 구조는 전체 시스템을 매우 복잡하게 하며 SWaP(Size, Weight and Power) 문제를 일으킬 수 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제가 특히 심각한 소형 무인 항공기에서 ARINC 653이 정의하고 있는 파티셔닝 기술을 활용하여 여러 임무 소프트웨어를 통합 운영하고 SWaP 문제를 효과적으로 해결할 수 있음을 보인다. 본 논문은 특히 실제 헥사콥터와 쿼드콥터에 통합 임무 시스템을 탑재하여 시험 비행을 성공적으로 수행했음을 보인다. 본 연구를 통해서 제시되는 통합 임무 소프트웨어를 운영하기 위해서 필요한 소프트웨어 기술과 통합 방법론은 SWaP이 중요한 다양한 실시간 시스템에 응용될 수 있다.

In the recent defence industries, it is required to develop the small and low cost embedded systems for guided missiles. According to the characteristics of guided missiles, the mission is conducted with multiple phases, which include a squib activation phase. By considering the unexpected squib activation, the squib system should be disabled after the launch of a guided missile. Therefore, the squib system needs to include the functions of the safe ignition and status check. This paper presents the squib ignition and status check circuits design for the compact embedded systems in guided missiles. Validation results show that for the functions of the squib ignition and status check, the presented circuits design performs well. The designed circuits also were implemented with various electronic devices and validated by the ground and flight tests.
