Flight test is the final and a mandatory process for the development of unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs) as well as manned. Since most UAVs fly in a low speed and are prone to adverse weather conditions such as air turbulence, atmospheric weather environment around flight test regions will be a critical item to be considered for a flight test planning for UAVs. In this paper, we suggest a decision method for a UAV flight test schedule based on weather conditions of surface and upper atmospheres and also introduce a program for an effective flight test planning through weather forecasts.

In the case of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with a GNSS sensor, a boundary line where the vehicle can actually exist can be calculated using a navigation error model, and safe navigation (e.g., precise landing and collision prevention) can be supported based on this boundary line. Therefore, for the safe operation of UAV, a model for the position error of UAV needs to be established in advance. In this study, the multipath error of a GNSS sensor installed at UAV was modeled through a flight test, and this was analyzed and compared with the error model of an existing manned aircraft. The flight test was conducted based on a scenario in which UAV performs hovering at an altitude of 40 m, and it was found that the multipath error value was well bound by the error model of an existing manned aircraft. This result indicates that the error model of an existing manned aircraft can be used in operation environments similar to the scenario for the flight test. Also, in this study, a scenario for the operation of multiple UAVs was considered, and the correlation between the multipath errors of the UAVs was analyzed. The result of the analysis showed that the correlation between the multipath errors of the UAVs was not large, indicating that the multipath errors of the UAVs cannot be canceled out.

현 시대에 있어 정보력은 국방 분야에 있어 굉장히 주요한 요인으로 손꼽히고 있다. 따라서 감시 및 정찰을 위한 무기체계 기술 확보가 불가피해졌다. 이에 따라 군이 직접 수행하기에는 너무 위험하거나(Dangerous), 지저분하거나(Dirty), 지루한(Dull) 환경과 같이 유인항공기의 비행운용이 제한되는 경우에 무인항공기(UAV)가 개발되어 전 세계적으로 활발히 운용 중에 있다. 국내에서 연구 개발된 한 무인항공기 체계에는 구성품 중 비행체 점검 장비가 포함되어 있다. 비행체 점검 장비는 무인항공기와 연결되어 그것의 상태를 확인하는 장비로, 무인항공기에 동작 명령을 인가하고 명령 값을 추종하는 지 확인함으로써 운용자로 하여금 비행 가능 여부를 점검할 수 있도록 하는 장비이다. 본 연구는 이러한 운용 중 엔진 소음에 의하여 비행체 점검 장비가 정지한 현상에 대한 고장탐구를 실시하고 소프트웨어, 하드웨어 그리고 외부 환경의 측면에서 원인을 분석한다. 분석된 원인에 따라 개선방안을 제시하고 제안된 방안이 고장을 방지할 수 있음을 검증한 결과를 다룬다.

최근 무인항공기의 활용 범위와 수요가 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며, 저고도 무인항공기의 경우 유인항공기와 별개의 관리 체계 개발을 통해 별도의 운영 시스템 구축에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 저고도 무인항공기의 경우도 공역을 비행하는 비행체 이므로 비행체의 운영에 필요한 기술 기준 및 인증 제도의 수립이 필수적이며, 이에 대한 연구도 함께 진행되고 있다. 비행체의 운영 기준 및 인증 요건이 제시되는 경우, 이를 확인할 수 있는 시험방법도 함께 제시되어야 한다. 특히, 소형무인항공기의 경우는 비행중 요구되는 항법의 정확도 수준이 유인항공기 또는 대형 무인항공기 보다 정밀한 비행을 요구하므로, 기존의 비행체 비행에서만 확인할 수 있는 비행 결과 정확도 산출이 아닌 별도의 항법오차의 산출이 필요할 것으로 판단하였다. 본 연구에서는 기존 유인항공기와 다른 장시간의 운영 데이터 획득이 어려운 무인항공기에 적용이 가능한 항법 오차 도출에 관한 시험 방법에 대하여 제시하였고, 실증 시험을 수행하였다.

In the air power, UAVs have played a large and diversified role in performing missions from simple to high-level complex ones. In particular, the suppression of enemy air defenses(SEAD) is very dangerous for a pilot so it is expected that the manned-unmanned teaming(MUM-T) system with tailless stealthy unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) will greatly enhance effectiveness of the mission while ensuring the pilot safe. This paper describes simulation studies of remote airborne control(RAC) environment for performing the SEAD mission by MUM-T, by which the air force pilot remotely controls tailless UAVs individually or small UAVs in swarm. Through this simulation, air force pilot can derive the concept of MUM-T mission operation with various UAVs in the future, and it can be used to upgrade the MUM-T system by verifying the effectiveness of the mission.

In order to accommodate the increase in urban population due to government-led national planning and economic growth, many buildings such as houses and business building were supplied. Although the building law was revised and managed to manage the supplied buildings, for the sake of economic benefit, there have been buildings that are enlarged or reconstructed without declaring building permits. In order to manage these buildings, on-site surveys were conducted. but it has many personnel consumption. To solve this problem, a method of using a satellite image and a manned aircraft is utilized, but it is diseconomical and a renewal cycle is long. In addition, it is not utilized to the height, and although it is judged by the shading of the building, it has limitations that it must be calculated individually. In this study, height of the building was calculated by using the unmanned aerial vehicle with low personnel consumption, and the accuracy was verified by comparison with the building register and measured value. In this study, spatial information was constructed using a fast unmanned aerial vehicle with low manpower consumption and the building height was calculated based on this. The accuracy by comparing the calculated building height with the building register and the actual measurement.

Manned aircraft structural design is based on structural safety factor of 1.5, and this safety factor is equivalent to a probability of failure of between 10-2 and 10-3. The target failure probability of FARs is between 10-6 and 10-9 per flight according to aircraft type. NATO released STANAG 4703 to established the airworthiness requirements for small UAV which is less than 150kg. STANAG 4703 requires the Target Level of Safety according to MTOW. The requirements of failure probability for small UAV is between 10-4 and 10-5. In this paper, requirements of airworthiness certification for small UAV were investigated and the relationship of safety factors to the probability of structural failure is analyzed to reduce measure of safety factor and structural weight of unmanned aircraft.

To evaluate the aerodynamic efficiency of TR-S2 configuration designed by SUDC, wind tunnel tests of $40\%$ scaled model were done in KARI LSWT. The aerodynamic characteristics of plain and Semi-Slotted Flaperon were compared, and vortex generators were installed to improve flow pattern along the wing surface. Effects of the control surface such as elevator, rudder, aileron, and incidence angle of horizontal tail are measured for various testing conditions. Test results showed that Semi-Slotted Flaperon produced more favorable lift, lift/drag, and stall margins and application of vortex generator would be best choice to enhance wing performance. Longitudinal, lateral and directional characteristics of TR-S2 were found to be stable for the pitch and yaw motions.

TR-E2 configuration designed by Bell Textron was tested in KARI 1-m wind tunnel. To explore aerodynamic characteristics for the given configuration, a $12\%$ scaled model was fabricated and tested. Wind tunnel test for TR-E2 had been performed by changing the incidence angles of wing and deflection angles of control surfaces. Test result showed that the lower wing incidence angle has more favorable lift to drag ratio compared with original design. Longitudinal and directional characteristics of TR-E2 were found to be stable for the pitch and yaw motions. However, the lateral stability of TR-E2 is not stable for certain control surface deflection.
