  • This study is a study on influencing factors to derive considerations when establishing a large drone integrated protection system targeting important national facilities. Currently, drone protection is implemented by piecemeal installation of drone protection equipment developed on the market in response to the needs of government agencies, the military, and national important facilities. For this reason, there is a waste of resources, such as duplicate installation or overlapping operation of equipment, and institutional and legal problems between operations are emerging. Accordingly, we sought to identify factors influencing the establishment of an efficient and systematic anti-drone protection system targeting national important facilities. Considering the research purpose and scope, this study derived 3 influencing factors and 12 detailed influencing factors through case analysis, protection theory research, and analysis of related laws. If the results of this study are used as considerations when building an integrated anti-drone protection system in the future, all national defense elements will be integrated and systematic integrated anti-drone protection will be possible according to their respective roles. In addition, it will provide a theoretical foundation for building an integrated anti-drone protection system. The results of this study are valuable in that they present logical and systematic influencing factors for establishing an integrated anti-drone protection system.

  • A programmable drone is a drone developed not only to experience the basic principles of flight but also to control drones through Arduino-based programming. Due to the nature of the training drones, the main users are students who are inexperienced in controlling the drones, which often cause frequent collisions with external objects, resulting in high damage to the drones' frame. In this study, the structural stability of the drone was evaluated by means of a structural dynamics based collision simulation for educational drone frame. Collision simulations were performed on three cases according to the impact angle of $0^{\circ}$, $+15^{\circ}$ and $-15^{\circ}$, using an analytical model with approximately 240,000 tetrahedron elements. Using ANSYS LS-DYNA, which provides excellent functions for the simulation of the dynamic behavior of three-dimensional structures, the stress distribution and strain generated on the drone upper, the drone lower, and the ring assembly were analyzed when the drones collided against the wall at a rate of 4 m/s. Safety factors resulting from the equivalent stress and the yield strain were calculated in the range of 0.72 to 2.64 and 1.72 to 26.67, respectively. To ensure structural stability for areas where stress exceeds yield strain and ultimate strain according to material properties, the design reinforcement is presented.

  • EOTS for drones is showing another aspect of market expansion in detection and recognition areas previously occupied by artificial satellites. The two-axis EOTS for drones controls the vibration or disturbance caused by the drone during the mission so that EOTS can accurately recognize the goal. Vibration generated by drones is transmitted to EOTS. Therefore, it is essential to develop a stabilization controller that attenuates vibrations transmitted from drones so that EOTS can maintain the viewing angle. Therefore, it is necessary to standardize drone disturbance and secure the performance of EOTS disturbance attenuation controller optimized for disturbance level through this. In this paper, a method of standardizing drone disturbance applied to EOTS is studied, through which EOTS controller simulation is performed and stabilization controller shape is selected and designed.

  • This study analyzes the combat case involving military drones during the Azerbaijan-Armenian War, which erupted on September 27, 2020. The background of the war revealed that Azerbaijan extensively and aggressively employed offensive drones, which played a decisive role in reshaping the dynamics of the battlefield. Despite Azerbaijan's GDP of $4.639, which corresponds to the level of a developing country, and its 64th rank in global military strength, the country boldly allocated a significant portion of its budget to develop its drone capabilities in preparation for the war. As a result, Azerbaijan effectively utilized offensive drones acquired from Turkey and Israel to neutralize hundreds of tanks, armored vehicles, artillery units, and air defense systems. The purpose of this study is to examine this context and explore how our Korean military organization can enhance its combat capabilities by developing a drone combat system, thereby enabling an effective response posture against multifaceted threats.

  • A drone which was developed first for military purpose has been expanded to various civil areas, with its technological development. Of the drones developed for such diverse purposes, a drone for photography has a camera installed and is actively applied to a variety of image contents making, beyond filming and broadcasting. A drone for photography makes it possible to shoot present and dynamic images which were hard to be photographed with conventional photography technology. This study made a view finder which helps a drone operator to control a drone and directly view an object to shoot with the drone camera. The view finder for drones is a type of glasses. It was developed in the way of printing out the data modelled with 3D MAX in a 3D printer and installing a ultra-small LCD monitor. The view finder for drones makes it possible to fly a drone safely and achieve accurate framing of an object to shoot.

  • There are policies that foster the drone industry, which either put a legal precedent on drones through the "Drone Act" or grant a delay or exemption in applying the safety measures of "the Aviation Safety Act". Yet, the definition of a drone is unclear, requiring further discussion on commercial usage. Therefore, we have studied cases domestically and abroad, and also analyzed issues with the current aviation legislation. It was found that a drone is defined as "an unmanned aircraft where a pilot is not on board, and its net weight is 150 kg or less". However, there are several issues, such as that a drone taxi requires a pilot on board, and its weight is 150 kg or more. Thus, we propose to define a drone as "an unmanned aerial vehicle (provided, that its own net weight should be 300 kg or under, or not be limited to weight) under Article 2 (3) of the "Aviation Security Act" as prescribed by Ordinance of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, which operates either by remote, automatically, or autonomously; or an unmanned aircraft under Article 2 (6) of the "Aviation Security Act".
