In order for future UAVs to be used as means of transportation, a simulation environment in which they can be tested in advance is essential. Accordingly, to demonstrate future air transport systems among six future industries of Chungcheongbuk-do, a simulation environment was condensed and built, focusing on virtual safety corridor connecting Osong Station and Cheongju Airport.

Standard design and suitable environmental test method should be applied to increase the reliability of UAV flight control systems. UAV flight control systems under development domestically have enough capabilities for complicated missions. However, most low cost systems are not designed with concepts of compatibility, adaptability, and environmental compliance. This paper explains ATR(Air Transport Rack) standard that is widely used on aircraft. The paper presents a design uses commercial off-the-shelf parts. The paper also presents various environmental standards for airborne equipments, including U.S. military specifications. The developed FCS was tested under these specifications. The paper shows the test procedures and results.

This paper describes the current research trend and future development direction of autonomous flight of the aircraft. The autonomous flight means that aircraft control system recognize and cope with the emergency situation confronted during the flight by itself. Current research for autonomous flight technology is mainly performed for the application to unmanned air vehicle. Considering advent of future air traffic management system and increasing demand of the unmanned air vehicle application, however, autonomous flight technology required to be combined with future air traffic management system. In this paper, the current air traffic management system and anticipating change in future air traffic management system was investigated and research activities of autonomous flight technology was described as well as future prospect.

항공기의 자동 착륙 알고리즘을 위한 고 정밀 유도방식에 IBLS(Integrity Beacons Landing System)나 MLS(Microwave Landing System)와 같은 유도 제어 방식을 사용하여 유인 항공기나 무인 항공기의 유도 착륙에 사용하고 있다. 당 연구에서는 무인항공기의 자동 착륙을 위한 실제적인 요구사항들이 분석되었고, 자동 착륙 유도장치로 IBLS와 MLS가 선택되어 각각의 기능과 특성들이 수학적으로 모델링 되었다. 또한 고전제어와 최적제어의 2가지 방식으로 무인항공기의 자동 착륙을 통제하기 위한 autopilot이 설계되어 그 유효성과 특징들이 분석되었다. IBLS, MLS, autopilot, 그리고 이러한 자동 착륙 유도제어 시스템이 적용되는 대상체인 무인항공기와 대기환경 및 외란에 대한 수학적 모델들은 Simulink와 ANSI C를 사용하여 단위 S/W 모듈들로 작성되었고, 여기에 GUI모듈이 추가되어 하나의 통합 시뮬레이션 S/W가 완성되었다. 모의시험평가는 총 2단계로 구성되었는데, 대기 외란이 주어졌을 때 IBLS와 MLS의 유효성을 1차적으로 검증하였고, 2단계 모의수치실험에서는 MLS 유도센서 방식에 따른 고전제어기 및 최적제어기의 항공기 종 방향 운동에 대한 강인성 비교를 시도하였다.

In this paper, a simple algorithm is proposed to estimate wind speed and direction which can significantly improve the landing performance of an unmanned parafoil. The proposed algorithm is applied to flight test data along with other known algorithms and the results are compared and discussed. The proposed algorithm shows comparable performance while it can still be applied to the parafoil under control.

Since UAV has been developed, the demand of uav is increasing because of the advantage which are no injury people and less cost. Also, it has easy maintenance and adaptation because it will carry out each mission by only change payload. So, in this study, we performed aircraft design and manufacturing which it could have maximum payload weight when consider each mission has different weight of payload

Acquiring precise coordinates of ground targets can be regarded as the key mission of the tactical-level military UAS(Unmanned Aerial System) operations. The coordinates deviations for the ground targets estimated from UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) images may depend on the sensor specifications and slant ranges between UAV and ground targets. It has an order of several tens to hundreds of meters for typical tactical UAV mission scenarios. In this paper, we propose a scheme that precisely acquires target coordinates from UAS by mapping image pixels to geographical coordinates based on GCP(Ground Control Points). This scheme was implemented and tested from ground control station for UAS. We took images of targets of which exact location is known and acquired the target coordinates using our proposed scheme. The experimental results showed that errors of the acquired coordinates remained within an order of several meters and the coordinates accuracy was significantly improved.

Small-scale UAS(Fusion technique of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles platform and Sensors, 'sUAS') opens various new applications in construction fields and so becoming progressively common due to the considerable potentials in terms of accuracy, costs and abilities. The purpose of this study is that the investigation of the validation on the utilization of sUAS for earth stockpile volume calculations on sites. For this, generate 3D models(DSM) with sUAS aerial images on an cone shaped soil stockpile approximately $270m{\times}300m{\times}20m$, which located at Baegot Life Park in Siheung-si, compared stockpile volume estimates produced by sUAS image analysis, against volume estimates obtained by GNSS Network-RTK ground surveying method which selected as the criteria of earth stockpile volume. The result through comparison and examination show(demonstrate) that there was under 2% difference between the volume calculated with the GNSS Network RTK data and the sUAV data, especially sUAS imaged-based volume estimate of a stockpile can be greatly simplified, done quickly, and very cost effective over conventional terrestrial survey methods. Therefore, with consideration of various plan to assess the height of vegetation, sUAS image-based application expected very useful both volume estimate and 3D geospatial information extraction in small and medium-sized sites.
