Abstract

The Precision Aerial Delivery System is an instrument designed to improve the poor landing accuracy of aerial delivery system with conventional circular parachutes, and is equipped with an Airborne Guidance Unit to safely transport supplies to the desired destination. Currently, the landing accuracy of the PADS product is reported as CEP50 100m and also differs significantly, depending on the actual topography and weather environment. In this study, HILS was constructed based on the 6DOF nonlinear modeling of PADS to analyze the maneuver characteristics of Ram Air Parachute under wind environments. By using the new algorithm a precision soft landing algorithm including Energy Management and Final Approach is designed. HILS results show that it is possible to achieve a precise soft landing within CEP50 40m, and it can be exploited to develop an actual PADS drop test.

PADS(Precision Aerial Delivery System)은 원형 낙하산을 이용한 공중 물자수송 시스템의 낮은 착륙 정확도를 개선해줄 수 있는 장비로 AGU(Airborne Guidance Unit)을 장착하여 원하는 목적지로 안전하게 물자를 수송할 수 있다. 현재 외국에서 개발된 PADS 성능은 착륙 정확도가 CEP50 100m 범위로 보고되고 있으나 실제 지형 및 기상환경에 따라 많은 차이를 보인다. 산악지역이 많은 국내 환경에서는 국부적인 지형변화에 따른 풍향, 풍속 변화가 심하고 이는 착륙 정밀도에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 PADS의 6DOF 비선형 모델링을 기반으로 HILS(Hardware In the Loop Simulation)를 구축하여 바람 환경에서 Ram air parachute의 기동 특성을 분석하였다. 이러한 기동 특성을 고려하여 EM(Energy Management) 기동과 FA(Final Approach) 기동을 포함한 정밀 연착륙 알고리즘을 설계하였다. PADS 시뮬레이션 결과 CEP50 40m 이내로 정밀 연착륙이 가능하였으며, 향후 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 실제 PADS 투하시험을 통하여 정밀 공중 물자수송 시스템에 적용될 수 있을 것이다.
