  • Companies around the world are actively developing Personal Air Vehicle (PAV) to solve the serious social problem of traffic jams. Airworthiness certification for PAV is required, since it is a manned vehicle. As with aircraft, the critical threat to the safe operation of PAV is lightning strike with strong thermal load and magnetic fields. Lightning certification issue also remains important for PAV, since there are still insufficient development of PAV-related lightning certification technologies, guidelines, and requirements. In this study, the SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP), an international standard certification guideline recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), was analyzed. In addition, the guideline of lightning certification was applied to a PAV. The impact of lightning on PAV was also analyzed through computational software. Finally, the basis for the establishment of the PAV lightning certification guidance was presented.

  • This paper describe the Lateral Navigation algorithm design and verification that implementation on Mission Computer's OFP for Korean Utility Helicopter(KUH) instead of Auto Flight Control System(AFCS) Vehicle Management System. The LNAV function transmits Roll command into the AFCS System. The Roll command value will be calculated by control algorithms in MC. The Operational Flight Program(OFP) shall use for its calculations different measurements of the aircraft's attitude and place. Using these inputs, the OFP will translate a navigational demand(for example-to perform the selected flight plan) into Roll commands to the autopilot. By conducting integration test using SIL and ground test, flight test, it is confirmed that the introduced algorithm meets the requirements of the Mission Equipment Package(MEP) system. LNAV function is verified through the System Integration Laboratory(SIL) test, ground and flight test.

  • As the substantial increase in battlefield density, multiple and complex weapon systems, Ensuring the Survivability of the platform has been emphasized. Most of platforms have equipped with ASE (Aircraft Survivability Equipment) system in order to protect the platform and operator against at modernized hostile weapon. ASE system enhance the survivability of the platform through providing accurate situation awareness information by detecting and countermeasuring hostile threats. One of Key factor of the AE system performance is handling multiple and complex threats. In this study, it describes the fact that the performance of ASE system with proposed threat integration algorithm is verified in the developed threat emulation system and also, suggests system verification method before deployment by dealing with complex threat situation.

  • Built-In-Test(hereafter: BIT) is necessary functionality for aircraft flight safety and it requires a high failure detection capacity of more than 95 % in the case of avionics equipment. The BIT coverage analysis is needed to make sure that BIT meets its fault diagnosis capability. FMECA is used a lot of for the BIT coverage analysis. However, in this paper, the BIT coverage analysis based on electronic components is introduced to minimize the analytical error. Further, by applying the failure mode of the electronic components and excluding electronic components that do not affect flight safety, the BIT coverage analysis can be more accurate. Finally, BIT demo was performed and it was confirmed that the performance of the actual BIT matches the analysis of BIT performance.

  • To build autonomous agents who can make a decision on behalf of humans in time-critical complex environments, the formulation of operational knowledge base could be essential. This paper proposes the methodology of how to formulate the knowledge base and evaluates it in a practical application domain. We analyze threat data received from the multiple sensors of Aircraft Survivability Equipment(ASE) for Korean helicopters, and integrate the threat data into the inductive model through compilation technique which extracts features of the threat data and relations among them. The compiled protocols of state-action rules can be implemented as the brain of the ASE. They can reduce the amounts of reasoning, and endow the autonomous agents with reactivity and flexibility. We report experimental results that demonstrate the distinctive and predictive patterns of threats in simulated battlefield settings, and show the potential of compilation methods for the successful detection of threat systems.

  • All of the military aircrafts in Korea Air Force are administered and operated together in the same system regardless of whether they are equipped with the data communication capability or not. The absence of the data communication capability in some of the aircrafts might increase whole kill chain hour at the point of the Network Centric Warfare achievement. Network synergy effects cannot also be desired if the section which is not connected to the network influences to the whole tactical network. Equipping aircrafts with the data communication capability could be done by upgrading the aircrafts, but resulting in high costs and long updating time. This paper is a research about the design and implementation of the UMPC based Data Link System to aircrafts that do not have the data communication capability. The proposed system grafts the UHF-based wireless modem technology and the aircraft flight mission support software onto the off-the-shelf UMPC and GPS system. The employed UHF radio equipment allows communicating tactic data with another aircrafts on the air, the ground control point, and even the Tactical Air Control Party(TACP) control vehicle that achieve missions with aircrafts. It thereby increases such capabilities as navigation aid, situation awareness, quick target identification and attack. We also applied Closed Air Support(CAS) scenarios, which is very close to the real environment, to the experiments of the proposed system. The experimental results show that the proposed system could support the data communication capability effectively and the flight mission at low costs of money and time.

  • In these days, the world has been increasing navy forces such as aircraft carriers and high-tech destroyers etc. and the importance of submarines is being emphasized. Therefore, accurate values of the derivatives in equations of motion are required to control motion of the submarines. Hydrodynamic derivatives were measured by the vertical planar motion mechanism(VPMM) model test. VPMM equipment gave pure heave and pitch motion respectively to the submarine model and the forces and moments were acquired by load cells. As a result, the hydrodynamic derivatives of the submarine are provided through the Fourier analysis of the forces and moments in this paper.
