Because of the rapid increase of mobile traffic, flexible broadband supportive unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based 6G mobile networks using free space optical (FSO) links have been recently proposed. Considering the advancements made in UAVs, big data processing, and artificial intelligence precision control technologies, the formation of an additional wireless network based on UAV aerial platforms to assist the existing fixed base stations of the mobile radio access network is considered a highly viable option in the near future. In this paper, a combined time bound optimization scheme is proposed that can adaptively satisfy the control and communication time constraints as well as the processing time constraints in FSO-based 6G UAV aerial networks. The proposed scheme controls the relation between the number of data flows, input data rate, number of worker nodes considering the time bounds, and the errors that occur during communication and data processing. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is very effective in satisfying the time constraints for UAV control and radio access network services, even when errors in communication and data processing may occur.

The design process of blended inlet body (BIB) for the preliminary design of a near-space high supersonic unmanned aerial vehicle (HSUAV) is presented. The mass flow rate and cowl area of inlet at a design point are obtained according to the cruise condition of the HSUAV. A mixed-compression axisymmetric supersonic inlet section with a fixed geometry reasonably matching the high supersonic cruise state is created by using the inviscid theory of aerodynamics. The inlet section is optimized and used as a baseline section for the BIB design. Three BIB concepts for the HSUAV are proposed, and their internal aerodynamic characteristics of inlet are evaluated using Euler computational fluid dynamics (Euler CFD) solver. The preferred concept is identified, in which the straight leading edge of the baseline HSUAV configuration is modified into the convex leading edge to accommodate the inlet and meet the requirements of the cowl area to capture the sufficient air flow. The total recovery of inlet for the preferred BIB concept and the aerodynamic characteristics of the modified HSUAV configuration are verified using Navier-Stokes computational fluid dynamics (NS CFD) solver. The validation indicates that the preferred BIB concept can meet both the requirements of the inlet and aerodynamic performance of the HSUAV.

본 논문에서는 국제민간항공기구와 미연방항공청에서 규정한 "Right of way" 규정과 조종사의 경험을 바탕으로 한 퍼지로직을 이용한 무인항공기의 충돌회피를 다루고 있다. 이 규정을 적용하기 위해 퍼지로직을 이용한 충돌회피 시스템을 설계하였다. 그리고 충돌회피 시스템이 작동할 조건을 위해 결심로직을 설계하였다. 결심로직은 상대방위, CPA까지의 시간, CPA에서의 거리 등 세가자의 중요 요소로 구성되어 있다. 결심로직의 적용은 NMAC를 회피하기위해 설계 되어졌으며 몇 가지 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였다. 결론적으로 본 논문에서는 일반공역에서 유인항공기와 함께 비행할 수 있도록 무인항공기의 "See and Avoid" 능력을 수행할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다.
