The mission-critical computer for air defense has to maintain its operation without any fault for a long mission time and is required to implement at low cost. Now the reliability of the mission critical-computer using Active Sparing Redundancy fault-tolerant technique is inferior to that of the computer using TMR technique. So in this paper are proposed Extended ASR(EASR) technique that provides higher reliability than that of the computer using TMR technique. The fault-tolerant performance of the implemented mission-critical computer is proven through reliability analysis and numbers of fault recovery test. Also, the reliability of the mission-critical computer using EASR technique is compared with those of computer using ASR and TMR techniques. EASR technique is very suitable to the mission-critical computer.

The mission-critical engagement control computer for air defense has to maintain its operation without any fault for a long mission time. The mission performed by large-scale and complex embedded software is extremely critical in terms of dependability and safety of computer system, and it is very important that engagement control computer has high reliability. The engagement control computer was implemented using four processors. The distributed computer composed of four processors quarantees the dependability and safety, and ASR fault-tolerant technique applied to each processor guarantees the reliability. In this paper, the mechanism and performance of ASR fault-tolerant technique are analysed. And MTBF, reliability, availability, and cost-effectiveness for ASR, DMR and TMR techniques applied to the engagement control computer are analysed. The mission-critical engagement control computer using software-based ASR fault-tolerant technique provides high reliability and fast recovery time at a low cost. The mission reliability of the engagement control computer using ASR technique in 4 processors board is almost same the reliability of the computer using TMR technique in 6 processors board. ASR technique is most suitable to the mission-critical engagement control computer.

국내에서 개발한 고기동 저궤도 위성이 일본 다네가시마 우주센터에서 2012년 5월 18일 발사되었다. 자세제어계는 위성의 임무수행을 완수할 수 있도록 발사 후부터 위성 수명 기간 동안 자세명령을 생성하고 제어 및 결정을 하며, 궤도 조정과 모멘텀 덤핑등의 임무를 수행한다. 이러한 임무 수행을 가능하게 하기 위해 자세제어계는 적절한 센서와 구동기 조합을 사용하여 추력기 기반 안전모드, 궤도 조정을 위한 Del-V Burn 기동 모드, 태양지향 서브모드 및 목표지향 서브모드 등을 설계했다. 고기동 위성의 초기 운용 중 자세제어계는 자세제어계 하드웨어의 초기 구동 및 점검을 수행하고 설계한 각 모드의 기능과 성능 확인을 수행하게 된다. 본 연구는 성공적으로 완료한 자세제어계 하드웨어의 초기 점검 결과를 소개하는 것이 목적이다. 초기 운용은 위성이 발사된 직후 탑재컴퓨터가 깨어나면서부터 시작되는데, 발사 후 최초 접속시 추력기 기반 안전모드에서 태양 획득 성능 및 제어 성능을 확인한 후 정상 상태 모드인 태양지향 자세로 전환하기 위해 자세제어계 하드웨어인 별 추적기, 자기토커, 반작용휠의 초기 구동 및 점검을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 각 하드웨어의 초기 구동 점검과 성능 및 기능 요구조건 만족에 대한 성능 분석 결과를 정리하였다.

In the development of an avionics system, there is a trend of using commercial-off-the-shelf(COTS) equipments in order to reduce the development cost and time. In this paper, we present an implementation of an aircraft mission computer using the objected oriented software and the COTS equipments. We execute the aircraft guidance software on the system, and measure the calculation time and the used memory. To compare the guidance capability of the software program, we implement the same software logic on DS1104 system. The guidance software program executed on two different systems resulted in the almost identical simulation.

Fault tolerance is a crucial design for a mission-critical computer such as engagement control computer that has to maintain its operation for long mission time. In recent years, software fault-tolerant design is becoming important in terms of cost-effectiveness and high-efficiency. In this paper, we propose MPCMCC which is a model-based software component to implement fault tolerance in mission-critical computers. MPCMCC is a fault tolerance design that synchronizes shared data between two computers by using the one-way message-passing scheme which is easy to use and more stable than the shared memory scheme. In addition, MPCMCC can be easily reused for future work by employing the model based development methodology. We verified the functions of the software component and analyzed its performance in the simulation environment by using two mission-critical computers. The results show that MPCMCC is a suitable software component for fault tolerance in mission-critical computers.

과학기술위성 1호는 2003년 9월 27일 러시아의 플레세츠크에서 성공적으로 발사된 후 6개월 여간의 운용을 통하여 초기 위성 안정화 과정과, 임무 수행기간인 2년 동안 정상적으로 위성이 운용될 수 있도록 위성의 운용모드에 따른 파라미터를 궤도상에서 보정하는 과정을 거쳐 전력 시스템이 최상의 조건을 가질 수 있도록 하였다. 초기 위성의 상태 점검과정과 탑재체의 관측을 위한 운용모드 시험과정을 거쳐 현재 위성은 각 궤도별로 “정밀 자세 제어 모드”, “최대 태양 전력 입력 지향 모드”, “자동 지상국 교신모드”, “탑재체 운용 모드”, “S/W 전력 제어”, “자동 파일 다운로드” 등으로 분류되어 운용되고 있으며, 위성의 주컴퓨터에 시나리오 명령구조를 사용하여 탑재체를 운용하고 있다.

As the competition among college graduates in the job market keeps getting intense, the educators' role of preparing students to get well adapted to the job environments should be more emphasized. However, in reality, many firms admit that many entry-level employees out of college need to be reeducated in a variety of areas. To resolve this problem, the current paper aims to propose some suggestions for a better school curriculum that reflects the needs and demands of the industry. The present proposal is based on my empirical knowledge from the department of computer science of the college where I am teaching and can be applied to other colleges. The suggestions for restructuring of a curriculum are expected to help students actively deal with the trend of developing technology. This restructured curriculum should help colleges produce workers with a good balance of academy and industry who can be assigned to work without being reeducated in the field.
