Abstract

Unlike manned aerial vehicles, because an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has a limitation which allows only remote test during flights, it is very important to maintain the high reliability of the vehicle through pre- and post-flight tests. To this end, this paper designed an air vehicle test equipment (AVTE) for UAV which meets the derived hardware and software requirements. Based on this design, the AVTE was implemented in accordance with the actual test scenario. The implemented AVTE has the advantage of reducing the time and cost required for the test of UAV by allowing the operator to perform automatic or manual tests for necessary parts in various situations such as before and after starting engine and pre- and post-flight tests. Furthermore, this study is expected to help with the design and implementation of AVTE for other UAVs.

무인항공기는 일반항공기와 달리 비행 중에는 원격 점검만 가능한 한계가 있기에 비행 전, 후 점검을 통한 비행체의 고신뢰성을 유지하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 이를 위해, 본 논문에서는 무인항공기 점검을 위한 비행체점검장비의 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어 요구사항을 도출하고 도출된 요구사항을 만족할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 이 설계를 바탕으로 실제 점검 시나리오에 맞춰 비행체점검장비를 구현하였다. 구현한 비행체점검장비는 총 3단계에 걸친 기능검증을 통해 비행 전·후, 시동 전·후와 같은 다양한 상황에서 자동점검 또는 운용자가 필요한 부분만 선택하여 수동점검을 할 수 있어 비행체 점검에 필요한 시간과 비용을 줄일 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 또한 본 연구의 내용은 다른 무인항공기를 위한 비행체점검장비 설계 및 구현에도 많은 참고와 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
