Aircraft accidents are characterized by a low probability of survival compared to other means of transportation, and the main causes appear to be human factors such as violation of regulations and communication. In order to activate the safety management system to prevent such accidents, an important key variable is to recognize the importance of safety culture and actively engage in safety behavior rather than simply emphasizing compliance with regulations to flight crew members. Even if there are well-established regulations, safety culture, The effectiveness varies depending on the safety atmosphere and level of safety behavior. In this study, the correlation between safety culture and safety behavior was verified through a survey of domestic flight crew members' awareness of safety culture. The results showed that fair culture and self-reporting were not activated enough to have a significant impact on safety behavior. We aim to improve the performance of the safety management system by confirming the characteristics of safety culture and safety behavior.

With the abnormal weather phenomena caused by global warming, the frequency and intensity of lightning strikes are increasing, and lightning accidents are becoming one of the biggest causes of failures and accidents in offshore wind turbines. In order to secure generator operation reliability, effective and practical measures are needed to reduce lightning damage. Because offshore wind turbines are tall structures installed at sea, the possibility of direct lightning strikes is very high compared to other structures, and the role of surge protection devices to minimize damage to the electrical and electronic circuits inside the wind turbine is very important. In this study, a varistor, which is a key element for a class 1 surge protection device for direct lightning protection, was developed. The current density was improved by changing the varistor composition, and the distance between the electrode located on the varistor surface and the edge of the varistor was optimized through a simulation program to improve the fabrication process. Considering the combined effects of heat distribution, electric field distribution, and current density on the optimized varistor surface, silver electrodes were formed with a gap of 0.5 mm. The varistor developed in this study was confirmed to have an energy tolerance of 10/350 ㎲, 50kA, which is a representative direct lightning current waveform, and good protection characteristics with a limiting voltage of 2 kV or less.

As the need for low-cost, high-efficiency cubesats develops in the new space age, commercial paradigms are shifting in the private sector. This paper examines the challenges of launching and operating both domestic and foreign cubesats, and proposes practical solutions to ensure the robustness and reliability of the satellites from a practical perspective. In particular, the paper deals with checkpoints that are easy to miss, focusing on key events that can occur from the satellite deployment process through normal mode to mission mode in the operation scenario. Although the contents presented in this paper may not be technically applicable to all cubesat systems due to the different nature of each satellite bus system, they will be of some help during satellite assembly, integration and testing.

In this paper, FEM (Front-End Module) MMIC, a key component for the application of the satellite communication terminal transmission and reception module of the multi-phase array structure, was designed and verified as a single chip by designing the Power Amplifier (PA) and the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA). It was manufactured using the GaAs PP10 (100nm) process, a compound semiconductor process from Win-semiconductors, and the operating frequency band of 7.2-10.5GHz operation, output 1W, and noise index of 1.5dB or less were secured using a dedicated test board. The developed FEM MMIC can be used as a single chip, and the components PA and LNA can also be used as each device. The developed device will be used in various applications of Minsu/Gunsu using the X band and the localization of overseas parts.

Since the announcement of the Financial Services Commission's 'Token Securities Issuance and Distribution System Improvement Plan' in February 2023, financial institutions, securities firms, and blockchain companies have been actively considering implementing IT platforms, but they are facing difficulties in selecting IT platforms for token securities because related legal regulations have not yet been clearly established. As a result, the need for rational and systematic criteria for the selection of blockchain-based token securities IT platforms has emerged, and this study explores and evaluates the key factors of token securities IT platform selection. Four factors were identified as the top-level factors, including 'maturity of the platform', 'operation and management of the platform', 'cost of introducing and maintaining the platform', and 'regulatory compliance for token securities', and 17 factors were identified as sub-level factors, including 'diversity', 'user authentication management', 'Adoption Costs', and 'financial regulations'. Among the 17 sub-factors, 'government financial regulation' and 'personal information protection' are selected as important factors, and the results of this study can help related organizations and financial companies make strategic decisions by providing systematic decision-making criteria for selecting token securities IT platforms.

Urban air mobility (UAM) is an innovative air traffic management system that utilizes electric vertical take off and landing aircraft(eVTOL) to transport passengers and cargo in urban areas. The corridor can be defined as the airspace that the vehicle operates in and must be collaboratively managed. For the stable operation of UAM, it is essential to have strategic separation and a collaborative decision-making(CDM) system for cooperation and coordination among stakeholders. This study examines the application of time-based milestones from traditional air traffic flow management to the UAM system to ensure safe traffic volume and optimize air traffic flow. For traffic flow management, the milestone time information is categorized into a total of 13 key milestone time indicators based on the UAM movement status, and the sharing entities providing each time indicator and the flow of milestones are defined. Emphasizing the need for a CDM to balance UAM traffic and capacity, sharing and managing milestone information among stakeholders is expected to improve UAM aircraft departure flow and enhance operational efficiency.

Time synchronization is crucial for ensuring the reliable operation of modern economic and social infrastructures. Techniques such as Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based methods and Two-Way Satellite Time and Frequency Transfer (TWSTFT) play key roles in precise time comparison and synchronization. TWSTFT, in particular, is recognized for its ability to achieve sub-nanosecond accuracy in time transfer, making it indispensable in fields such as satellite navigation. This paper proposes a comprehensive performance evaluation method for TWSTFT modems, emphasizing pre-validation in controlled environments to mitigate operational challenges. Using the proposed evaluation method, the study presents the standard deviation of RTT according to C/N₀ and compares it with the datasheet of a commercial TWSTFT modem. Through this approach, the aim of this study is to enhance the reliability and accuracy of TWSTFT-based time synchronization across diverse applications.
