  • The improvements in high performance and agility of modern fighter aircraft have led to improvements in survivability as well. Related to these performance increases are rapid response and adequate deflection of the control surfaces. Most control surface failures result from the failure of the actuator. Therefore, the failure and behavior of the actuators are essential to both combat aircraft survivability and maneuverability. In this study, we investigate the effects of flaperon actuator failure on flight maneuvers of a supersonic aircraft. The flight maneuvers were analyzed using six degrees of freedom (6DOF) simulations. This research will contribute to improvements in the reconfiguration of control surfaces and control allocation in flight control algorithms. This paper compares the results of these 6DOF simulations with the horizontal tail actuator failures analyzed previously.

  • Current fighter pilots, flying new generation aircrafts with high performance, are under severe stress during aerial combat maneuvering when they are exposed to high sustained +Gz(Head-to-foot) acceleration stress. Two major factor limiting performance during high sustaied +Gz acceleration stress are loss of vision-greyout or blackout, and loss of consciousness (LOC). These symptoms are believed to occur as a result of insuff- icient blood flow to the retina and the brain. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of high sustained +Gz stress under different seat back angle. The results. obtained by the biodvanmic computer simulations using the ATB(articulated total body) model, are represented with respect to three variables, such as HIC(head injury criterion) value, average G, and maximum G. The results demonstrate that the seat back angle(over $30^{\circ}C$) had a significant effect to decrease +Gz stress on the head segment and had no significant effect on HIC.

  • 본 연구에서는 천음속 전투기 무장창 내부의 압력 진동을 제어하기 위해 F-111의 무장창을 2차원 공동(Cavity)으로 모델링하고, EDISON_전산열유체 시스템을 활용하여 공동의 형상 변화에 따라 발생하는 유동 특성을 분석하였다. 최근의 전투기들은 항력 감소와 스텔스 기능을 위해 무기를 기체 안에 내장하는데, 덮개를 열 때 발생하는 공동 형상에 의해 강한 압력 진동이 유발된다. 이러한 진동은 무장창과 주변 기계 장치에 구조적 진동을 일으키고 고장 또는 파괴를 유발하므로, 근본적인 해결책이 필요한 중요한 문제이다. 본 연구에서는 진동의 원인이 되는 전단층(Shear layer) 불안정성을 해결하기 위해 기존에 연구된 형상(Leading edge extension 및 Ramp)과 본 연구에서 새로 제안한 Ramp extension을 적용해 보았다. 그 결과 압력 진동의 원인이 되는 유동 특성이 줄어들고 압력 진동 역시 감소했음을 관찰할 수 있었다.

  • Recently the increase of natural disaster and man-made disaster, newly emerging infectious diseases and bioterrorism attack changed the world in many aspects. So the Ministry of Health and Welfare and other related agencies are trying to solve the problems with disasters. We discussed these problems in the following eleven categories. (1) emergency medicine (2) communicable disease control, (3) food safety control, (4) public facilities safety, (5) social welfare facilities safety, (6) bioterrorism control, (7) geriatric health care, (8) insurance support, (9) overseas disaster victim support, (10) national organization protection, (11) fire fighter safety in forest fire. Through the reviews on the various kinds of disaster, we proposed the disaster control measure for the near future.

  • Pilots' fatigue is one of the most serious threat to flying safety. Fatigue is influenced by many factors like sleep deprivation, daily activities, aging, stress, etc. This study was designed to investigate military pilots' daily activities. 20 pilots' daily activity was monitored by activity monitor, Fitbit(R), and the survey about sleep time and flight time was conducted. They placed Fitbit(R) on their waist for 5 days. During flight, they removed Fitbit(R) that had been used for checking their steps and walking distances. It was found that the average sleep time is 6.7 hours for fighter pilots. It was a little shorter than average sleep time for adults, 8 hours. Average steps per day was 6,838 which is more than sedentary worker's but less than active worker's. Their daily activities were not as high as we had expected. But their sleep time was very short. Flight surgeons should recommend them to take a rest and get sleep during rest period.

  • When simulating the mission flight of a fighter equipped with the avionic ECM pod, it is massively required to provide the correct information of threats, to depict the real environment of mission area, and to precisely model the capability of the ECM system. Also, in order to get the reliable results of those simulation, it should be supported the flexible changes of threat environments and the examination of multiple flight paths. This paper presents a software system which is possible to flexible and interactive ECM simulation. This system has capable of the 2D or 3D visualization of virtual battle field, the management of electronic threat data, and the simulation of engagement model.

  • Aircraft noise is a serious problem to inhabitants near airports. INM is one of programs for determining the predicted noise impact in the vicinity of airports. It has been widely used for engineers to evaluate aircraft noise. However it is difficult to predict aircraft noise in case of lack of exact INM input data. The exact informations about a fighter plane are not known well for a security problem. This study presents methods of reducing errors between measurement and simulation when the exact INM input data is not known. Especially we adjusted the thrust force of aircraft engine and reduced the error.

  • 최신 전투기로 발전할수록 증가되는 소프트웨어 의존도와 네트워크 중심전으로의 작전 수행 개념의 변화, 그리고 무기체계에 대하여 지속적으로 발전하는 사이버 위협의 증가는 전투기 소프트웨어에 대한 강화된 보안 대책을 요구하고 있다. 이러한 상황의 변화는 전투기의 운용 및 소프트웨어 결함에 대한 감항인증 뿐만 아니라, 전투기 소프트웨어에 대한 사이버 위협의 보안 대책도 함께 요구한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 항공기 및 시스템 감항 보안 인증기준인 DO-326A와 DO-356을 적용하여 전투기 운용 환경을 고려한 항공무기체계의 특성과 항공기에 대한 사이버 공격에 대해 살펴보고, 이를 바탕으로 감항 보안 프로세스를 적용해 본다.

  • Korea has the highest suicide rate in the world, and firefighters have the highest suicide rate among the professional population. As a result of the study, post-traumatic stress disorder education is essential in all occupations. Post-traumatic stress disorder is the most common disease and the biggest obstacle for firefighters in Korea. Firefighters who have suffered physical and mental damage in many types of disaster sites due to their extreme occupations are rapidly increasing the suicide rate in recent years. In order to maximize the effect of job training, education on post-traumatic stress disorder from new employees to leadership training is urgently needed.
