The evolution and application of RFID technologies have been at the forefront of allowing aviation industries to improve the quality of aircraft maintenance and air cargo handling. However, safety problems in airplane operation are arising from the hazards of frequencies transmitted due to RFID systems. Though the intensities of frequencies back-scattered from the tags are very weak, some malfunctions are anticipated due to induction coupling on aircraft wiring. Therefore, safety assessment such as electromagnetic compatability should be accomplished upon aircraft critical and essential equipments before installations.

The aircraft gas turbine engines with the Electronic Engine Controls(EEC) had been developed to save fuel and enhance their performance in the early days, and had employed the health monitoring function in the Full Authority Digital Engine Controls(FADEC) to improve their reliability. This has led to an increasing demand for the certification technology of these controls. The design and certification issues of power supply, aircraft supplied data, failure modes, software verification/validation, and lightning requirements need to be addressed. This paper presents the design considerations and the certification techniques applied to the electronic engine controls. And it is believed that this paper will be basis to establish a requirement in Korean Airworthiness Standard.

This paper describes an implementation of a wide-range dimming controller of a LED backlight for Avionics applications such as a control display unit(CDU) and multi-function display(MFD). The digital dimming controller employing a current controlled buck converter and light sensor feedback is proposed. The proposed system provides a wide dimming control range of from 150fL to 0.05fL(3000:1) required for avionic displays. The experimental results are provided to show the control performance.

An aircraft power distribution device distributes and controls the power generated by the generator and provides overcurrent protection. There are many defect phenomena that make AC power distribution impossible during flight, which poses a problem in because some electronic equipment cannot be operated. We describe a process of deriving the root cause of defects by using vibration testing equipment to simulate the vibration conditions during aircraft flight, which result in defects. The results show that the cause of the defect is internal wiring damage caused by the vibration of the contactor of the AC power distribution device. Therefore, the shape of the contactor was improved to solve this problem. We also improved the test procedure by performing defect detection tests using vibration testing equipment to detect a faulty contactor. As a result of the improvements, a component certification test and flight test proved that the defect phenomena of the AC electrical master box were improved.

비행시뮬레이터는 ICT 및 SW 응용분야에 속하는 기술로 항공기의 환경을 재현하는 시뮬레이션 환경을 제공한다. 시뮬레이터의 조종 장치인 일반적인 조이스틱을 대체한 기존 VR장비의 컨트롤러는 허공에 들고 조종하므로 정확하고 정교한 실제 항공기 조종에 사용하기에는 많은 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 비행시뮬레이터와 VR분야에서 사용될 수 있는 가속도 센서와 진동 센서를 적용한 3D 조이스틱을 제안한다. 이를 위하여 3축 센싱과 정보를 표시하는 디스플레이 및 와이파이 통신을 위한 보드를 설계하고 유니티 기반의 가상 환경을 구현하여 적용 가능성을 확인하였다. 정상적으로 통신 인터페이스를 통하여 조종 장치가 동작하였고 게임 및 구현된 보드에서 확인한 센싱값이 일치함을 확인하였다. 연구의 결과물은 비행시뮬레이터 외에도 VR 및 다양한 메타버스 관련 콘텐츠에 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단한다.

Avionics technologies have been developed with a development of an airplane since 1903. Historically, radio communication was started in 1910's, radio navigations in 1920's and autopilot was applied first in 1930's. Glass cockpit was initiate on MD-80 in 1979 first and now spreaded widely and similar with GPS navigation. Avionics in modern aircraft has a great deal of importance in view of flight safety and maintaining comfortableness. As avionics develops, so do the certification technologies. This paper introduces update avionics certification technologies developed recently.

This paper examines the electromagnetic shielding structure of ultra-high frequency (UHF) RF modules used in aircraft. Advances in electrical and electronic technologies have increased the need for electronic equipment in aircraft. High-frequency wireless devices have become integrated circuits in the form of UHF integrated circuits to support a wide range of frequencies and miniaturisation. To ensure the functionality and performance of these integrated devices in aviation, shielding is necessary to prevent unexpected electromagnetic interference, which could be detrimental to aircraft safety. A shield structure was designed to protect the RF chipset from malfunctioning, and the shielding effectiveness was improved through the application of various geometric shapes.

기술의 발전에 따라 첨단무기체계인 군용항공기는 전투임무 수행시 내장형소프트웨어(Embedded Software)를 통해 기체내의 항공전자 장치, 항법장치, 조종장치 등의 물리적 기계적 움직임을 제어하고 있으며, 내장형 소프트웨어의 비율은 점점 증가하고 있다. 기체의 물리적 기계적 움직임이 내장형 소프트웨어에 의해 제어 되기 때문에 군용항공기의 전투능력 보존과 국방 목적의 수행을 위해선 먼저 내장형 소프트웨어 고유의 특성을 만족하고, 나아가 소프트웨어 안전성, 신뢰성, 보안성을 확보하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 설계 단계에서 스케줄성에 대해 정형검증 하여, 내장형 소프트웨어의 실시간성, 결정성, 생존성을 보증하고, 이러한 과정을 통해 전체적인 소프트웨어 안전성, 신뢰성, 보안성을 향상시키는 방안을 연구하며, 추가로 2011년 발표된 항공 소프트웨어 표준인 DO-178C에서 요구하는 정형검증을 적용한 국내 감항인증 표준 제정의 확대방안을 연구한다.
