In general, such ground based methods are utilized to validate maneuvering and attitude control logics of a spacecraft by a simulation with a flight software at a design phase and a integrated function test with actual hardwares at a system level. Recently, varification researches using operating simulators are getting increase using compact and precise components under a ground condition. The present paper investigates and summarized the development trend of cold gas propulsion systems for the spacecraft simulators and their major performance characteristics to derive fundamental data which are necessary for a conceptual design of the simulator.

드론의 대중화에 따른 사고위험의 증가로 안전한 조종 방법에 대한 연구의 필요성이 대두되었다. 따라서 조종자의 조종능력에 구애받지 않는 자율비행제어기술이 필요하게 되었고, 이를 보다 안정적으로 구현하기 위하여 자율주행 소프트웨어 플랫폼으로 주목받고 있는 Robot Operating System(ROS)를 사용하였다. ROS를 기반으로 Laser Range Finder(LRF)와 Particle Filter를 사용하여 자율적으로 객체추적이 가능하며 지능적으로 장애물을 회피하여 비행 할 수 있는 안정적인 자율비행제어시스템을 구현하고자 한다.

A flight control computer(FLCC) applied to an unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) is a safety-critical item, and which is designed in a multiple structure to increase the reliability of operation by securing fault tolerance. These FLCC of multiple structure should be designed so that each independent processing/control components can perform the same operation at the same time. And for this reason, a synchronization algorithm for synchronizing the operation between FLCCs should be included in an operational flight program. In this paper, we propose a software design method for synchronization between dual FLCCs applied to UAVs. The proposed synchronization method is designed to synchronize using only the minimum hardware resources to reduce a failure rate. In addition, the proposed synchronization method is designed to minimized synchronization errors due to a timer operation by designing in consideration of operation characteristics of the hardware timer used for the synchronization.

Airworthiness certification is critical, in ensuring the flight safety of military aircraft for development tests and production operations. The MIL-HDBK-516C, latest airworthiness certification document, handles the field of flying qualities in Chapter 6 (flight technology), and refers to specific chapters of MIL-STD-1797B, which is the specification document for developing military aircraft. Since the MIL-STD-1797B released in 2006 by the U.S. Department of Defense is not disclosed to other countries, the Chapter 6 (flight technology) of MIL-HDBK-516B Expanded, the former certification standards pursuant to flying qualities, has to be applied to military aircraft being developed in the Republic of Korea. However the requirements of Chapter 6 of MIL-HDBK-516B Expanded comprise unclear sentences, because of contents from various development specifications. Also, clarification is needed in that the same requirements have to be verified in different criteria. In this paper, the results of this study present an effective verification method, for acquiring the airworthiness certification in field of flying qualities based on MIL-HDBK-516B Expanded.

Active vibration control system(AVCS) for helicopter enables to control the vibration generated from the main rotor and has the superb vibration reduction performance with low weight compared passive vibration reduction device. In this paper, FxLMS algorithm-based vibration control software of the light civil helicopter tansmits the control command calculated using the signals of the tachometer and accelerometers to the circular force generator(CFG) is developed and verified. According to the RTCA DO-178C/DO-331, the vibration control software is developed through the model based design technique, and real-time operation performance is evaluated in PILS(processor in-the loop simulation) and HILS(hardware in-the loop simulation) environments. In particular, the reliability of the software is improved through the LDRA-based verification coverage in the PIL environments. In order to AVCS to light civil helicopter(LCH), the dynamic response characteristic model is obtained through the ground/flight tests. AVCS configuration which exhibits the optimal performance is determined using system optimization analysis and flight test and obtain STC certification.

인공위성을 제어하기 위한 원격명령에는 실시간 명령과 저장명령으로 구분할 수 있다. 실시간 명령은 위성에서 명령을 수신하고 바로 수행하는 명령을 말하고, 저장명령은 특정한 시간에 수행하는 절대시간 명령과 정해진 시간간격에 따라 일련의 명령들을 수행하는 상대시간 명령으로 구분할 수 있다. 상대시간 명령은 위성 운영 시 필요한 명령들을 위성에 업로드 하여 사용할 수도 있지만, 위성 발사 전에 정해진 명령 시퀀스는 위성 비행소프트웨어에 포함하여 비휘발성 메모리에 저장하여 사용한다. 명령시퀀스는 정해진 포맷에 따라 DB 파일로 정리되는데, 위성 비행소프트웨어에 포함하기 위한 헤더 생성프로그램이 필요하다. 본 논문은 위성 원격명령 처리방식에 대해서 소개하고, 저장명령 데이터 파일을 이용하여 위성에 저장하기 위한 헤더파일을 자동 생성하는 프로그램에 대해서 기술한 것이다.

Synthetic Aperture Radar is an active sensor utilizing the microwaves in order to get the requested high resolution imageries day or night regardless of the weather conditions. In this paper, the architecture of a real-time system controller for the airborne small SAR system, KOrea Miniature SAR which was developed by Agency for Defense Development is proposed considering the embedded real-time environment. The main purpose of the system controller is to control the internal and the rest of subsystem within SAR system in real-time. The main characteristics of the proposed system controller were implemented using the real-time operating system and the distributed hardware architecture for the small, low weight and real-time operation. The system controller performance and real-time operation were verified and confirmed by the demo flight with the KT-1 airplane.

This paper is summarized for designing launch vehicle autopilot structure with attitude angle command from guidance algorithm and for evaluating performance of autopilot using launch vehicle six-degree of freedom simulation program. The suggested autopilot has heritage from KSR-III/KSLV-I upper stage autopilot designing experience, and it has two design point. The one is, it must have same performance with KSR-III/KSLV-I upper stage autopilot, the other is, it must be simple autopilot structure and use low number of variable to apply on-board system. It is evaluated the performance using launch vehicle six-degree of freedom simulation program in case of roll maneuvering and no roll control flight condition.
