Abstract

UAS and related technology have been mainly developed for military use but, in recent years, various types of civil UAS have been using in a variety of applications. For example, there are multicopters to shoot aerial photography, pesticide spraying unmanned helicopter, and in addition there are radio control (R/C) aircraft to be used for hobbyists. UAV has spread rapidly enough that permitted experts as well as the public can use it but the related safety regulations are not properly equipped. We investigated the status of domestic and international UAS certification system and airworthiness standards. And the trends in research for the development and modification of the certification system were studied in this paper. As a result, most countries have studied to develop the related regulations and especially ICAO has tried to develop RPAS manual, standards and recommended plans and modify the related ICAO annex through the research group, ICAO UASSG. Based on the manual and SARPs, authorities, related organizations and companies have prepared to develop and modify regulations in accordance with the actual situation of each country.

무인항공기시스템 기술은 그동안 주로 군사용 목적으로 개발되어 왔으나, 근래에는 무인기의 활용이 공공부문으로 확산되면서 민간분야에서도 여러 형태의 무인기를 다양한 용도로 활용하고 있다. 예를 들어 농약 살포를 위한 회전익 무인기가 대표적으로 사용되고 있으며, 방송에서도 무인 멀티콥터를 이용한 촬영 영상을 활용하고 있다. 이와 같이 민간의 다양한 분야에서 무인기 활용이 늘어나고 있으나 무인기 관련 안전규정은 제대로 마련되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 전 세계의 무인항공기시스템 기술 발전과 관련하여 국내외 민간 무인항공기시스템 관련 현행 규정을 조사하고, 이와 관련한 인증체계 개정 및 개발을 위한 연구동향을 조사 분석 하였다. 그 결과 최근 몇 년간 여러 국가에서 무인항공기시스템 관련 규정을 개발하기 위한 연구를 수행하고 있으며, 대표적으로 국제민간항공기구(ICAO)에서 연구조직(UASSG)을 결성하여 무인항공기시스템에 대한 매뉴얼 발행과 국제표준 및 권고를 개발해 오고 있다. 또한 세계 각국의 감항 당국 및 관계 기관, 업체 등에서는 이를 기반으로 각국의 실정에 맞는 규정을 개발 및 개정하고자 준비하고 있다.
