In the paper, the design and evaluation of a helicopter trajectory tracking controller are presented. The control algorithm is implemented using the feedback linearization technique and the two time-scale separation architecture. In addition, and on-line adaptive architecture that employs a neural network compensating the model inversion error caused by the deficiency of full knowledge of helicopter dynamic is applied to augment the attitude control system. Trajectory tracking performance of the control system in evaluated using modified TMAN simulation program representing as Apache helicopter. It is show that the on-line neural network in an adaptive control architecture is very effective in dealing with the performance depreciation problem of the trajectory tracking control caused by insufficient information of dynamics.

In recent SATCOM systems, transparent transponders are widely used. The transponder is, however, the most vulnerable part in SATCOM systems against jamming interference. All signals within the transponder bandwidth are frequency-converted and retransmitted with IM(intermodulation) products. In this paper, the method is proposed that makes the SJR(Signal-to-Jammer ratio) better. The bandwidth spreading of the user signal can reduce the jammers effects. The geostationary satellite system is modeled to simulate and to certificate the capability of suppression of jammers by DSSS. If signal is partially-overlapped by jammer and PG(processing gain) is 16.9 [dB] for 2ASK jammer and about 16.8 [dB] for QPSK jammer, when BER is $10^{-3}$.

High performance upper stage engine is necessary for space launch vehicles of geostationary orbit, and staged combustion cycle engine is suitable due to high specific impulse. Technology demonstration model for 9 tonf class staged combustion cycle engine, which is consisted of turbopump, preburner, combustion chamber and supply system, was assembled, and hot-firing test was conducted for three seconds in Upper-stage Engine Test Facility of Naro Space Center. Ignition, combustion and shut down of engine system was performed normally, and its performance parameters were evaluated.

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted relay has the advantages of ease of deployment, good communication channels, and mobility over traditional terrestrial relay, which greatly improves wireless connectivity. In this paper, we design a UAV-enabled relay network that can utilize radio frequency bands to harvest energy from sources and utilize terahertz (THz) bands to transmit information between secondary transmitters and receivers. Next, we solve the optimal position of the UAV that maximizes the relay channel capacity, and propose an algorithm to design two trajectories of UAV (a straight and an elliptical trajectory) using the derived solution. Numerical results show that the straight trajectory is better in terms of harvested energy and channel capacity.

We developed a crawler-based driving platform that can perform harvesting, transportation, pest control, and rotary operation by equipping it with various implements, and analyzed its performance. This single platform was developed to perform as pepper harvester, peanut harvester, and transporter with a 46-kW engine. A simulation model was developed to study the specifications of the platform, and the accuracy was also analyzed. The absolute percentage error ranged from 0.2 to 5.9%, which made it possible to predict the platform performance using simulation model. In T-test, both torque and speed on field and asphalt showed a significant difference (1%). Driving torque required differed depending on the nature of the field, and the speeds also changed based on soil load. The developed platform has the advantage of being equipped with a variety of working tools, expected to be used to harvest root crops in the future.

The selection of ground stations is one of the essential process of IGS (International GNSS Service) products. High quality GPS data should be collected from the globally distributed ground stations. In this study, we investigated an effect of ground station network selection on GPS satellite ephemeris. The GPS satellite ephemeris obtained from the twelve ground station networks were analyzed to investigate the effect of selection of ground stations. For data quality check, the observations, the number of cycle slips, and multipath of pseudoranges for L1 and L2 were considered. The ideal network defined by Taylor-Karman structure and SOD (Second Order Design) were used to obtain the optimal ground station network.

The Mission Control System for KOMPSAT-2 was developed by ETRI and is being operated at Satellite Control Center at KARI to monitor and control KOMPSAT-2 (KOrea Multi-Purpose Satellite) which was launched in July 28th, 2006. MCE provides the functions such as telemetry reception and processing, telecommand generation and transmission, satellite tracking and ranging, orbit prediction and determination, attitude maneuver planning, satellite simulation, etc. KOMPSAT-2 is the successor of KOMPSAT-1 which is an earth-observation satellite. KOMPSAT-2 has higher resolution image taking ability due to MSC (Multi Spectral Camera) payload in the satellite and precise orbit and attitude determination by Mission Control System. It can produce one meter resolution image compared to six meter resolution image by KOMPSAT-1.

LRE(Liquid propellant Rocket Engine) is one of the important parts to control the trajectory and dynamics of rocket. The purpose of control of LRE is to control the thrust according to requiredthrust profile and control the mixture ratio of propellants fed into gas generator and combustor for constant mixture ratio. It is not easy to control thrust and mixture ratio of propellants since there are co-interferences among the components of LRE. In this study, the dynamic model of LRE was constructed and the dynamic characteristics were analyzed with control system as PID control and PID+Q-ILC(Iterative Learning Control with Quadratic Criterion) control. From the analysis, it could be observed that PID+Q-ILC control logic is more useful than standard PID control system for control of LRE.

Installing the temporary bridge after excavating the railway requires installing movable cross beam, but as it doesn't requires isolating the catenary or cutting the rail, it's applicable to double-track with frequent operation. In this study, a displacement meter was placed on temporary bridge to monitor the displacement pattern in curve section (R400) completed using temporary bridge method, and wheel load, lateral pressure and derailment coefficient were measured to evaluate the load imposed on track and the stability in curve section (R400) for quantitative evaluation of training running safety. As a result of the measurement, when trains passing over a temporary bridge, the maximum value of Wheel load and Lateral Force is analyzed as the 51% and 81% of standard level according to foreign country's performance tests, There is no trouble with stability analysis in Wheel load and Lateral Force occurring. Additionally, Wheel load and Lateral Force considered as the safety standard are tested 49% of limiting value regardless of trains, which the norm value quite well, there is no problem with train running.
