본 논문에서는 소형무인항공기용 이동표적 표시기법(MTI, Moving Target Indication)에 대한 기술 동향분석을 하였다. MTI는 크게 이미지 정렬과 차영상 오류보정 단계로 구성되는데 이중 이미지 정렬 기법에는 매개변수방식과 비매개변수방식이 있으며 본 논문에서는 매개변수방식을 사용한 이용한 MTI에 초점을 맞췄다. 소형무인항공기의 경우, 저고도 운용에 의한 시차문제가 발생하는데 이를 보정하기 위해서 등극기하학이 사용된다. MTI의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 관련기법들도 살펴보았으며 향후 발전방향을 제시하였다.

This paper proposes a feedback-linearization-based control algorithm for multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The feedback linearization scheme is highly efficient for considering nonlinearity between the rotational and translational motion of multirotor UAVs. We also propose a dynamic equation that reflects the aerodynamic effects of the vehicles; the equation's parameters can be determined through curve fitting using actual flight data. We derive the feedback linearization controller from the proposed dynamic equation, and propose a Luenberger observer to attenuate measurement noises. The proposed algorithm is implemented using our in-house flight control computer, and we describe its implementation in detail. To investigate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we carry out two flight scenarios: the first scenario, an autonomous landing on a moving platform, is a test of maneuverability; the second, picking up and replacing an object, test the algorithm's accuracy. In these scenarios, the proposed algorithm precisely controls multirotor UAVs, and we confirm that it can be successfully applied to real flight environments.

Currently, the operation of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is regulated to be able to fly only within the visible range, but in recent years, the needs for operation in the invisible area, in the urban area and at night have increased. In order to operate UAVs in the invisible area, at night, and in the urban area, a flight path for UAVs must be prepared like those operated by manned aircraft, and for this, it is necessary to establish an unmanned aircraft system traffic management (UTM). In order to establish the UTM, information on the minimum separation distance to prevent collisions with UAVs and buildings is required, and accordingly, information on the navigation performance of UAVs is required. In order to analyze the navigation performance of an UAV, total system error (TSE), which is the difference between the planned flight path and the actual location of the UAV, is required. If the collected data are insufficient and classification according to integrity, independence, and direction is not performed, accurate navigation performance is not derived. In this paper, propose a navigation performance analysis method of UAV that is derived TSE using flight data and modeled with normal distribution, analyze performance.

본 논문에서는 점차 쓰임새가 다양해지는 무인항공기의 매체접속제어 프로토콜 적용에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 무인항공기의 대수가 증가함에 따라 지상통제소에서 동시에 제어해야할 항공기의 대수도 증가하게 된다. 이를 위해 현재 민간항공기에서 사용하는 다중접속제어 방식인 CSMA/CA를 무인항공기 통신방식에 적용하여 메시지 크기에 따른 데이터 처리량 및 지연시간을 비교를 통하여 이의 적용 가능성을 확인하였다. 그 결과 무인항공기 매체접속제어 적용가능성을 확인해볼 수 있었다.

본 연구는 적응제어기법을 이용한 무인항공기이 피치 자세 기동에 대한 연구 내용을 소개한다. 모델기반적응제어(Model Reference Adaptive Control)을 이용하여 피치 자세각과 엘리베이터 입력 사이의 피드백 선형화 과정에서 발생하는 불확실성을 처리하였다. 모델 불활실성 파라미터는 피드백 제어기가 작동하는 중에 적응법칙을 이용하여 추정할 수 있도록 설계 되었다. 안정화 제어기에 의해 달성되는 최종 피치 자세각에 대한 분석을 통해 폐루프 시스템의 특성을 파악할 수 있도록 하였다. 제안된 제어 기법은 기존 제어기에서 주로 채택하고 있는 선형화나 게인 스케쥴링등의 과정이 필요하지 않아 상당한 모델 오차가 존재하는 상황에서 무인항공기의 고기동 피치 제어기 설계에 도움을 줄 것으로 생각한다.

This paper is focused on dynamic modeling and control system design as well as vision based collision avoidance for multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Multi-rotor UAVs are defined as rotary-winged UAVs with multiple rotors. These multi-rotor UAVs can be utilized in various military situations such as surveillance and reconnaissance. They can also be used for obtaining visual information from steep terrains or disaster sites. In this paper, a quad-rotor model is introduced as well as its control system, which is designed based on a proportional-integral-derivative controller and vision-based collision avoidance control system. Additionally, in order for a UAV to navigate safely in areas such as buildings and offices with a number of obstacles, there must be a collision avoidance algorithm installed in the UAV's hardware, which should include the detection of obstacles, avoidance maneuvering, etc. In this paper, the optical flow method, one of the vision-based collision avoidance techniques, is introduced, and multi-rotor UAV's collision avoidance simulations are described in various virtual environments in order to demonstrate its avoidance performance.

An unmanned aircraft refers to an aircraft which carries no human pilot and is operated under remote control or in autonomous operational mode. An unmanned aircraft system consist of a one system which include UAV(s), UAV control station and data link, etc. As the UAVs can perform the dull, dangerous and difficult missions, various kinds of UAVs with different sizes and weights have been developed and operated for both civil and military areas. It is important to develop the airworthiness certification criteria of the UAVs to minimize the risks of fatal impacts on human life and environment and to achieve the equivalent level of safety to the manned aircraft. Analysis of the KAS Part 23 and STANAG 4671 can provide guidelines for the generation of the airworthiness certification criteria for the UAVs in civil application.

Applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the military environment have become popular because they require minimum human contribution and can avoid accidents during missions. UAVs are employed in various missions such as reconnaissance, observation, aggression, and protection. Consequently, counter-measures, known as anti-drone technologies, have been developed as well. In order to protect against threats from anti-drone technologies and enhance the survivability of UAVs, this study proposes an evasive measure. The proposed bio-inspired evasive maneuver of a UAV mimics a dragonfly's irregular flight. The unpredictable UAV movement is able to confuse enemies and avoid threats, thereby enhancing the UAV's survivability. The proposed system has been implemented on a commercial UAV platform (AR Drone 2.0) and tested in a real environment. The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed flight pattern has larger displacement values compared to a regular flight maneuver, thus making the UAV's position is difficult to predict.

As the role of high-value air assets(e.g., AWACS, JSTARS, Rivet Joint, E-2) becomes more critical in modern warfare, the air escort for these assets blocking attacks from any potential enemy fighter also becomes vital. Without the escort, the operations of the assets become restricted. However, such an escort is not always possible due to the limited flight time of the escort fighters. In this paper, we introduce an escort tactics for high-value air assets performed by the manned-unmanned teaming composed of a transport aircraft and UAVs(unmanned aerial vehicles). In this tactics, the transport aircraft plays the role of an aircraft carrier, which carries, launches, and retrieves the UAVs. The missions of UAVs in this tactics are to detect and engage enemy fighters. We also introduce the simulation result of this tactics to identify the UAVs' required capabilities and optimal maneuvering.
