  • Thermal sensors, also called thermal infrared wavelength sensors, measure temperature based on the intensity of infrared signals that reach the sensor. The infrared signals recognized by the sensor include infrared wavelength(0.7~3.0㎛) and radiant infrared wavelength(3.0~100㎛). Infrared(IR) wavelengths are divided into five bands: near infrared(NIR), shortwave infrared(SWIR), midwave infrared(MWIR), longwave infrared(LWIR), and far infrared(FIR). Most thermal sensors use the LWIR to capture images. Thermal sensors measure the temperature of the target in a non-contact manner, and the data can be affected by the sensor's viewing angle between the target and the sensor, the amount of atmospheric water vapor (humidity), air temperature, and ground conditions. In this study, the characteristics of three thermal imaging sensor models that are widely used for observation using unmanned aerial vehicles were evaluated, and the optimal application field was determined.

  • In major wars of the 21st century, drones are expanding beyond surveillance and reconnaissance to include land and air as well as sea and underwater for purposes such as precision strikes, suicide attacks, and cognitive warfare. These drones will perform multi-domain operations, and to this end, they will continue to develop by improving the level of autonomy and strengthening scalability based on the High-Low Mix concept. Recently, drones have been used as a major means in major wars around the world, and there seems to be a good chance that they will evolve into game changers in the future. North Korea has also been making significant efforts to operate reconnaissance and attack drones for a long time. North Korea has recently continued to engage in provocations using drones, and its capabilities are gradually becoming more sophisticated. In addition, with the recent emergence of new strategic Drones, wartime and peacetime threats such as North Korea's use of these to secure surveillance, reconnaissance and early warning capabilities against South Korea and new types of provocations are expected to be strengthened. Through this study, we hope to provide implications by analyzing the capabilities of North Korea's strategic Drones, predicting their operation patterns, and conducting active follow-up research on the establishment of a comprehensive strategy, such as our military's drone deployment and counter-drone system solutions.

  • Recently, UAVs and Drones have been used for various applications. In particular, in the field of surveying, there are studies on the technology for monitoring the terrain based on the high resolution image data obtained by using the UAV-equipped digital camera or various sensors, or for generating high resolution orthoimage, DSM, and DEM. In this study, we analyzed the accuracy of GCP(Ground control point) matching using UAV and VRS-GPS. First, we used VRS-GPS to pre-empt the ground reference point, and then imaged at a base altitude of 150m using UAV. To obtain DSM and orthographic images of 646 images, RMSE was analyzed using pix4d mapper version As a result, even if the number of GCP matches is more than five, the error range of the national basic map(scale : 1/5,000) production work regulations is observed, and it is judged that the digital map revision and gauging work can be utilized sufficiently.

  • In an era marked by the increasing use of drones and the growing demand for indoor surveillance, the development of a robust application for detecting and tracking both drones and humans within indoor spaces becomes imperative. This study presents an innovative application that uses FMCW radar to detect human and drone motions from the cloud point. At the outset, the DBSCAN (Density-based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) algorithm is utilized to categorize cloud points into distinct groups, each representing the objects present in the tracking area. Notably, this algorithm demonstrates remarkable efficiency, particularly in clustering drone point clouds, achieving an impressive accuracy of up to 92.8%. Subsequently, the clusters are discerned and classified into either humans or drones by employing a deep learning model. A trio of models, including Deep Neural Network (DNN), Residual Network (ResNet), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), are applied, and the outcomes reveal that the ResNet model achieves the highest accuracy. It attains an impressive 98.62% accuracy for identifying drone clusters and a noteworthy 96.75% accuracy for human clusters.

  • Recently, the technology of drones is developing remarkably. The role of military drones is so great that they can cause serious damage to the enemy's important strategic assets without any damage to our allies in all battlefield environments (land, sea, air). However, the battleship combat management system currently operated by the Korean Navy is vulnerable to defense because there is no customized defense system against drones. As drones continue to develop, they are bound to pose a major threat to navy in the future. This paper proposes a way for the warfare software of naval combat management system sets a combat mode suitable for anti-drone battle, evaluates the threat priority in order to preemptively respond to drone threats and eliminate drone threats through automatic allocation of self-ship-mounted weapons and sensors, and through a test of the improved warfare software in a simulated environment, it was proved that the time to respond to the drone was improved by 62%.

  • In this study, the UAV (Unmammed Aerial Vehicle) was applied for the photogrammetry of the construction site and the safety management of steel pipe scaffold. The research site is a temporary facility for building reinforcement on Samcheok Campus of Kangwon National University. The installation condition of the steel pipe scaffold was investigated, and the pillar distance, the beam distance and the wale distance were surveyed. As a result, it was found that the beam distance of the scaffold in the longitudinal direction was in good agreement with the standard, but the pillar distance and the wale distance were found to be less than the standard. Three-dimensional data can be used in drone shooting to enable three-dimensional measurement, so that it is possible to measure facilities hidden or located inside other facilities. Through the drone shooting, the condition of the site can be quickly recorded and the surveying can be carried out without interfering with the work of the field personnel. Although the installation of the temporary structure must be strictly observed to ensure the safety of the workers, it is found that the installation standards are still neglected in the field. In order to prevent this practice, it was thought that the legal system should be supplemented so that it could be checked periodically by using UAV in the field process management.

  • In the view of the application of high-precision spatial information production, UAV (Umanned Aerial Vehicle)-Photogrammetry has a problem in that it lacks specific procedures and detailed regulations for quantitative quality verification methods or certification of captured images. In addition, test tools for UAV image quality assessment use only the GSD (Ground Sample Distance), not MTF (Modulation Transfer Function), which reflects image resolution and contrast at the same time. This fact makes often the quality of UAV image inferior to that of manned aerial image. We performed MTF and GSD analysis simultaneously using a siemens star to confirm the necessity of MTF analysis in UAV image quality assessment. The analyzing results of UAV images taken with different payload and sensors show that there is a big difference in σMTF values, representing image resolution and the degree of contrast, but slightly different in GSD. It concluded that the MTF analysis is a more objective and reliable analysis method than just the GSD analysis method, and high-quality drone images can only be obtained when the operator make images after judging the proper selection the sensor performance, image overlaps, and payload type. However, the results of this study are derived from analyzing only images acquired by limited sensors and imaging conditions. It is therefore expected that more objective and reliable results will be obtained if continuous research is conducted by accumulating various experimental data in related fields in the future.

  • With the development of technology, small UAVs are used in various forms. From military UAV to the Amazon drone, the UAVs are applied to increasing fields for its merits which can replace human work more fast and precisely than what human used to do. Yet, the use and development of UAVs cannot be embraced indiscreetly. There exist negative aspects along with its convenience and positive use. In military use, for instance, the use of UAV can handle dangerous missions in place of human beings but at the same time, it can be very threatening weapons that put people in danger of being attacked at unknown time and places. Therefore, this study discusses the safety measures for major national facilities. Through theoretical understanding of UAVs and major national facilities, the study explores into key concepts and reviewed the cases that threatened our nation's safety. The study also makes suggestions on the policies of the use of UAV to secure national safety.
