  • This paper deals with a new approach to acquire the exterior orientation parameters based on GPS(Global Positioning System) in combination with IMU(Inertial Measuring Unit), which enables us to achieve the same accuracy with minimal ground control points comparing to the conventional photogrammetric method. To prove the possibility of practical use of GPS/INS photogrammetry, a survey flight was conducted loading with all necessary photographing systems. The observed data set by GPS/IMU were analyzed and verified :he accuracy performance of kinematic GPS, and also compared to those of conventional photogrammetry in various points of view.

  • In the recent aerospace and defence industries, it is required to develop small and low cost embedded systems. Based on a high speed digital signal processor (DSP), this paper first presents the development of an embedded system. To reduce the computation time of the high precision algorithm such as flight control, we also propose two algorithms for matrix multiplication. Validation results show that, compared to the performance using the $2{\times}2$ unit method, the performance of the proposed method 1 is improved, when the size of matrices is small. The proposed method 2 generally outperforms the $2{\times}2$ unit method.

  • Air data systems measure airspeed, pressure altitude, angle of attack and angle of sideslip. These measurements are essential for operating flight control laws to ensure safe flights. Since the loss or corruption of air data measurements is considered as catastrophic, a high level of operational reliability needs to be achieved for air data systems. In the case of unmanned air vehicles, failure of any of air data sensors is more critical due to the absence of onboard pilot decision aid. This paper presents design of a dual redundancy air data system and the integration process for an unmanned air vehicle. The proposed dual-redundant architecture is based on two independent air data probes and redundancy management by central processing in two independent flight control computers. Starting from unit testing of single air data sensor, details are provided of system level tests used to meet overall requirements. Test results from system integration demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed process.

  • Air Traffic Control Tower is one of the most important units in Airport operation. It provides services related to safe and efficient traffic flows that control aircraft on the ground maneuvering area and terminal airspace. Also It is responsible for managing of ground operators. The major objective of this study is to evaluates relative efficiency of ATC towers in Domestic airports using data envelopment analysis so that it helps the ATC authority to improve the tower efficiency, to decide the level of benchmarking target and to establish the best alternative. The results of this study are the following; First, as a result of analysis for the potential improvement, it has analysed that the common problems of each ATC tower are to increase its number of flight and to reduce its number of runway followed by airside area, the number of air traffic controller and the number of stand. Second, it has shown that the each tower in RKPC(8), RKPT(5), RKPK(l) and RKSS(l) are used as the reference set. Especially, the tower in RKPC analyzed as a relatively efficient unit is the most main target for the towers in RKTU, RKTH, RKPS and RKTY to do bench marking and to set up the strategy for improving relative efficiency of the tower. Third, tower is actually not able to control the input and output data in this study except the number of controller, so that ATC authority is recommended to improve inefficiency of the towers through handling the number of controller.

  • Drone is demanding more than detaile hardware and software systems because Drone have characteristic flying. If Drone is a plane crash. they have risk of personal injury and property damage. now Drone control core system is preventing a plane crash and flight unsafe flying. The key is to help flying to convert for various external environment. This research prevent a plane crash that system planning to treat six-senser-figure doubly is IMU trouble or a trouble caused by a passing parameters and IMU install to help stability in flying.

  • The Satellite OBC(On Board Computer) manages critical functionality such as satellite attitude control, fault management, payload management, command/telemetry processing etc. The OBC consist of various modules. Each module perform mission critical operation. So all modules designed as hot or cold redundancy architecture. The redundancy design gives a guarantee high reliability and it allows normal operation of satellite using reconfiguration capability. In this paper, introduces reconfiguration unit operation and describe the results of testing in the ETB.

  • 최근까지 무인 항공기는 군사적인 목적으로 활용하기 위해 활발하게 연구 되어 왔다. 근래에 들어 레저용, 또는 상업용으로 활용도가 급격히 증대되고 있다. 이에 국내외의 대학 및 연구기간에서 무인항공기의 자동비행 제어시스템을 위한 연구를 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근 들어 무인항공기로 제어하기가 쉽고 활용도가 높은 쿼드로터 비행체가 각광을 받고 있는데 이미 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 이러한 쿼드로터는 4개의 로터의 속도 제어로 비행체의 위치제어가 가능하다. 쿼드로터의 구조적인 이점으로 제어가 쉬운 반면 바람과 같은 외란에 매우 취약하다는 단점이 있어 실제 위치 제어가 쉽지가 않다. 본 논문에서는 외란(disturbance)에 취약한 쿼드로터의 위치제어를 안정하게 제어하기 위해 비행체의 자세 측정 센서인 관성측정장치(Inertial Measurement Unit)를 만들어 비행체의 자세를 측정 할 수 있도록 하였다. IMU는 자이로(Gyro)와 가속도(Accelerometer) 센서를 융합하여 비행체의 Roll, Pitch, Yaw 자세를 계측할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 PID 제어기법을 적용하여 기존의 쿼드로터의 비행체에 대한 제어 성능을 실험을 제시하고자 한다.

  • The Global Positioning System (GPS) is widely used to aid the navigation of aerial vehicles. However, the GPS cannot be used indoors, so alternative navigation methods are needed to be developed for micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) flying in GPS-denied environments. In this paper, a real-time three-dimensional (3-D) indoor navigation system and closed-loop control of a quad-rotor aerial vehicle equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a low-cost light detection and ranging (LIDAR) is presented. In order to estimate the pose of the vehicle equipped with the two-dimensional LIDAR, an octree-based grid map and Monte-Carlo Localization (MCL) are adopted. The navigation results using the MCL are then evaluated by making a comparison with a motion capture system. Finally, the results are used for closed-loop control in order to validate its positioning accuracy during procedures for stable hovering and waypoint-following.
