항공업계의 외부 이물질(FOD)은 다양한 종류가 있으며 작업자가 분실한 공구는 항공기 제작, 운용, 정비 분야 전반에 걸쳐 위험 요소로 작용하고 있다. 작업자의 부주의에 의해 분실된 공구로 인한 사고는 항공산업 전반에 걸쳐 지속적으로 발생하고 있으며, FAA, EASA 등 항공 관련 기관에서는 FOD 발생 예방을 위해 공구 관리 규정을 제정하고 시스템을 구축하고 있다. 하지만, 국내의 경우 관련 규정 및 절차가 미흡한 수준이며, 항공기의 안정적인 제작 및 인증, 운용 및 정비를 위해서는 체계적이고 효과적인 공구 관리 시스템의 도입이 반드시 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 국내외 감항당국 및 항공산업 관련 단체의 공구 관리 규정 및 절차를 분석하고, 미국 국립 표준 협회를 통해 인증된 NAS 412의 Tool Control 규정을 바탕으로 국내 항공산업계 도입이 필요한 무선통신 기술 기반의 공구 관리 시스템을 제안하였다.

항공기용 탐조등은 야간 임무 수행 시 탐색 또는 구조 임무에 사용되며, 은폐 상태를 유지하며 작전을 수행할 수 있도록 적외선 광을 제공한다. A기종 회전익 항공기 운용 중에, 적외선 생성을 위한 적외선 투과 필터 유리가 파손되는 현상이 다수 발생하였으며, 이로 인해 은폐능력이 상실되고 정비 소요가 발생하는 등의 문제점이 제기되었다. 본 논문에서는 해당 결함이 발생하는 탐조등의 운용 조건을 시험하고, 그에 따른 결함 원인을 도출한 과정을 기술하였다. 그리고 도출된 원인을 개선하기 위한 여러 가지 방안과 개선 필터 시제품 제작 과정을 정리하였다. 또한 개선된 필터가 장착된 탐조등에 대해 성능시험, 내구성 시험, 항공기 장착시험을 통해 탐조등의 규격에서 제시하는 성능 요구를 만족하는지 검증한 결과를 기술하였다. 시험 및 검증 결과 필터의 파손 현상이 개선되었으며, A 기종 항공기에 개선 필터를 적용한 결과 파손 현상이 더 이상 발생하지 않는 것을 확인하였다.

The contents of aircraft system safety assessment vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the system, how critical the system is to flight safety, what volume of experience is available on the type of system and the novelty and complexity of the technologies being used. If the system safety assessment is to substantiate that the developed products are 'safe enough' to be taken into use, then the system safety assessment should be planned and managed to provide the necessary assurance that all relevant hazards and failure conditions have been identified and that all significant combinations of hazards and failures which could cause those conditions have been considered. The assessment must assist the designer and management in making decisions. It must make clear what the critical features of each system are and upon which special manufacturing techniques, inspection, testing, crew drills and maintenance practice they are critically dependent. This paper has prepared to study on promoting the efficiency of aircraft system safety assessment and to present how to compile system safety assessment strategy.

항공 수하물과 항공화물 컨테이너 등의 관리에 활용되고 있는 RFID는 항공기 장착 부품의 부품관리로 그 이용이 시도되면서 항공기 정비이력관리 등 정비업무에도 활용되는 등 항공업무에 그 활용도가 확산이 되고 있다. 그러나 RFID 태그와 리더기의 사용시 무선주파수 에너지 방출로 항공기의 운항에 대한 안전성 문제가 대두되고 있다. RFID 장치의 작동으로 미약한 전자파이긴 하지만 자유공간으로 방사되어 운항중인 항공기 내부의 신호를 전송하는 배선에 유기될 경우 장애가 우려되는 것이다. 그러므로 필수장비와 치명장비로 분류되는 항공기 전자장비 및 시스템에 대한 장애 평가를 사전에 필수적으로 수행 하여야 RFID 장치의 사용으로 인한 안전문제를 해결해 나갈 수 있다.

This paper presents the perspective of the Structural Mechanics program of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) on the damage assessment of structures for the period 2006-2009 when the author was serving as Program Manager at AFOSR. It is found that damage assessment of structures plays a very important role in assuring the safety and operational readiness of US Air Force fleet. The current fleet has many aging aircraft, which poses a considerable challenge for the operators and maintainers. The nondestructive evaluation technology is rather mature and able to detect damage with considerable reliability during the periodic maintenance inspections. The emerging structural health monitoring methodology has great potential, because it will use on-board damage detection sensors and systems, will be able to offer on-demand structural health bulletins. Considerable fundamental and applied research is still needed to enable the development, implementation, and dissemination of structural health monitoring technology.

Brazing fitting which is one of the aircraft hydraulic power system components is widely used for saving weight and achieving higher reliability. Any inherent defects or damage of fitting can cause system failure and/or physical damage of human body due to highly pressurized fluid. Radiographic testing(RT) technique and additional micro-structure investigation on cut-away surfaces have been accomplished to find out some defect-like-inhomogeneity in the fittings. The radiography results showed that some defect-like-inhomogeneity existed inside body. Additional micro-structure investigation on cut-away surface reveals that the inhomogeneity is due to internal voids. In this study, it can be is said that RT technique can be a useful tool for field acceptance test of hydraulic brazing fitting in short time.

The aviation gas turbine is composed of many expensive and highly precise parts and operated in high pressure and temperature gas. When breakdown or performance deterioration occurs due to the hostile environment and component degradation, it severely influences the aircraft operation. Recently to minimize this problem the third generation of predictive maintenance known as condition based maintenance has been developed. This method not only monitors the engine condition and diagnoses the engine faults but also gives proper maintenance advice. Therefore it can maximize the availability and minimize the maintenance cost. The advanced gas turbine health monitoring method is classified into model based diagnosis (such as observers, parity equations, parameter estimation and Gas Path Analysis (GPA)) and soft computing diagnosis (such as expert system, fuzzy logic, Neural Networks (NNs) and Genetic Algorithms (GA)). The overview shows an introduction, advantages, and disadvantages of each advanced engine health monitoring method. In addition, some practical gas turbine health monitoring application examples using the GPA methods and the artificial intelligent methods including fuzzy logic, NNs and GA developed by the author are presented.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to suggest weapon system specifications for requirements of Condition-Based Maintenance(CBM/CBM⁺). Methods: The military documents and case studies with regard to condition-based maintenance were reviewed. Representative Korea defense specifications of weapon system such as an aircraft, a C4ISR etc. were analyzed and investigated the level of requirement for maintainability was. Results: Condition-based maintenance was defined in both U.S. instruction and Korean directive. While deparment of defense(U.S.) provide a guidebook for CBM⁺, detailed instruction was not sufficient for Korean. Ministry of national defense(ROK) define the CBM⁺ by means of IPS element which should be developed along with the system development. The maintainability was barely included in Korean defense specifications, except for BIT(Built-in test) function. As a first step for defining the condition-based maintenance requirement in defense specification, this study suggests a standard form for data needed to acquire according to types of system, fault, failure, and so on. Conclusion: The empirical researches on CMB/CBM⁺ with domestic weapon systems are not enough, and a logic which leads the maintenance strategy to CMB/CBM⁺ is not solved. Through technical researches and institutional improvements including this study, we hope that condition-based maintenance would be fully established in the Korean defense field.

It is essential that weapons which are mounted on aircraft need to prove its reliability and safety during its developments. A guided missile should have high reliability and safety throughout various tests which are including ground tests, captive flight tests, detailed technical tests and operational tests. In these various tests, it is vital that software of each component in the guided missile should be easily updated in order to correct algorithms or errors. In this paper, we propose a software update technique based on MDTP(mass data transfer protocol) which are defined in MIL-STD-1760. The proposed techniques have the following advantages: First, software of each unit in a weapon can be updated through a test equipment without disassemble a guided missile. Second, development periods for a software update can be reduced by reusing MDTP. Third, we can easily maintenance of the software because it is based on standard. We proved its efficiency and validity through experiments. Therefore, the proposed technique should be effectively utilized for software update of a weapon mounted on an aircraft during development processes.

In order to secure the practicality of services using drones, improve on-site operability, and improve the convenience of aircraft maintenance, it is necessary to develop a drone station that can be safely stored while ensuring charging performance. Therefore, a total seven points of improvement were derived through laboratory experiments after the development of the first prototype, and an improved second prototype will be developed in the future based on the preceding processes.
