Drone is currently used for wide application areas in our real life. Also it performs more important functions. We propose a method of drone operation system for the prevention of industrial disaster. In normal operation of drone system the drone monitors the industrial sites according to the planned flight path with acquiring the monitored images and send the image information to the server. The server analyzes and compares the images to DB information by calculating the similarity based on the threshold. Then the system decides whether the industrial sites has problems or not. If the abnormal condition is occurred, the drone change the flight path to abnormal flight path and keep monitoring the industrial sites with measuring the air status by sensors and sends all information to server system on the ground. If the emergency case is occurred, drone approaches the closest position of accident points and acquiring the all information and send them to server and 119 center.

In this paper, we present an implementation of indoor flight to navigate to the designated places capable of hands-off autonomous operation within indoor environments. Our flight requires computer vision technique and smartphone device to allow it to be flown indoors without high-performance sensors which are too expensive to commercialization. The experimental result show that proposed implementation is fairly meaningful in a general building.

North Korea has developed ballistic missiles over the past 30 years. It is believed that they have a variety of ballistic missiles more than 1,000. Because these ballistic missiles threaten South Korea directly, accurate analysis of them is essential. Flight trajectories of the ballistic missiles are generally changed by means of adjusting payload weight, Isp, flight path angle, and cut-off time. The flight path angle is widely used to control the missile range. However it is difficult to predict the missile trajectory exactly in real operational environment because the missile could be launched according to its intention and purpose. This work analyzed the 1,000 km range MRBM's trajectory characteristics from adjusting flight path angle which is depressed as well as lofted method. The analysis of missile trajectory characteristics is based on the simulation of the missile trajectory model developed by KNDU research team.

General unmaned airship, in use of aviation photography, needs both airship -controller and camera-controller who work together in harmony. In oder to reduce this manpower and get the good Geographical Information Systems(GIS) data, it is necessary to use a autopilot controller which guides a exact path lines. This paper presents the autopilot control law base on classical PID control. Moreover, this paper shows the result of flight test, the procedure of gain tuning and LOS guidance algorism that is reduce a tracking error.

RF skin tracking of instrumentation RADAR cannot acquire stable track data, because of effect of multipath interference especially elevation direction. In this paper, low altitude target tracking method using laser tracking system is suggested to overcome this restriction. The effect of multipath can be reduced by increasing angle resolution with laser characteristics of very short pulse and narrow beamwidth. RF skin track, beacon track and laser track data for the integrated calibration target on the ground and target ship on the sea are gathered. And they are compared and analyzed to confirm the performance of laser tracking system. As a result, it shows that the suggested laser track method has better performance than RF skin track under multipath conditions.

Recently, researchers are actively addressed to utilize Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAV) for military and industry applications. One of these applications is to trace the preceding flight when it is necessary to track the route of the suspicious reconnaissance aircraft in secret, and it is necessary to estimate the attitude of the target flight such as Roll, Yaw, and Pitch angles in each instant. In this paper, we propose a method for estimating in real time the attitude of a target aircraft using the video information that is provide by an external camera of a following aircraft. Various image processing methods such as color space division, template matching, and statistical methods such as linear regression were applied to detect and estimate key points and Euler angles. As a result of comparing the X-plane flight data with the estimated flight data through the simulation experiment, it is shown that the proposed method can be an effective method to estimate the flight attitude information of the previous flight.

The behavior-based decentralized approach is considered for multi-UAV formation flight. It is assumed that each UAV has its own mission of flying to a specified region, while the distances between UAVs should be maintained. These two requirements may conflict with each other. To design the controller, coupled dynamics approach is applied to multi-UAVs with an assumption that each UAV can communicate with each other to share the state-information. Control gain matrices are optimized to acquire better performances of formation flying. To validate the proposed control approach, numerical simulation is performed for the waypoint-passing mission of multi-UAVs.

This paper proposes a new guidance law for increasing the lethality of munitions. The well known PNG (Proportional Navigation Guidance) is inadequate for the munitions because of some weaknesses. Even if the munition does not have the impact point error, the acceleration command is non zero because the line-of-sight changes at all times in flight. Therefore, we use a difference between a target and an impact point. This proposed guidance law is similar to PNG in the form, but this guidance law concentrates a correction rate of flight path angle instead of the LOS (Line of Sight) rate. The correction of flight path angle is defined as the amount of impact point error. This impact point error can be calculated by neural networks rapidly. Finally, we show that the simulation results prove the suitability of this law.

This paper describes a result of the guidance and control for re-entry vehicle during TAEM phase. TAEM phase (Terminal Aerial Energy Management phase) has many conditions, such as density, velocity, and so on. Under these conditions, we have optimized trajectory and other states for guidance in TAEM phase. The optimized states consist of 7 variables, down-range, cross range, altitude, velocity, flight path angle, vehicle's azimuth and flight range. We obtained the optimized reference trajectory by DIDO tool, and used feedback linearization with neural network for control re-entry vehicle. By back propagation algorithm, vehicle dynamics is approximated to real one. New command can be decided using the approximated dynamics, delayed command input and plant output, NARMA-L2. The result by this control law shows a good performance of tracking onto the reference trajectory.
