Abstract

Recently, as the roles and utilization fields of UAV become more diverse, demand for high - level mission has been increasing. To solve this issue, researches on the operation of multiple small UAVs and related systems have been actively carried out. The multiple small UAVs based application system has a problem that the task complexity of control personnel increases because the control personnel must continuously control and manage several small UAVs. Hence, it is necessary to develop a software platform that can perform efficient control in order to employ a multiple small UAVs based application system successfully. In this paper, we propose an effective ground control software platform for application systems using multiple small UAVs. We first analyze the requirements for the software platform, and design and implement software based on the analysis. Simulation using the X-plane flight simulator shows that multiple flight data are effectively displayed and that the image data transmitted from many small UAVs are simultaneously displayed in real time.

최근에 무인비행체의 역할과 활용이 다양해짐에 따라 고 난이도의 임무 수행 요구가 증가하고 있으며 이를 해결하기 위하여 복수 소형무인비행체의 운용 및 관련 시스템 개발에 관한 연구가 활발히 수행되고 있다. 복수 소형 무인비행체 기반 응용 시스템은 관제요원이 여러 대의 소형무인비행체를 지속적으로 제어, 관리해야 하기 때문에 관제요원의 업무 복잡성이 증대되는 문제를 지닌다. 따라서 복수 소형무인비행체 기반 응용 시스템의 성공적인 구현을 위해서는 효율적인 관제를 수행할 수 있는 소프트웨어 플랫폼 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 복수 소형무인비 행체를 이용한 응용 시스템에 효과적인 지상관제 소프트웨어 플랫폼을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 소프트웨어 플랫폼 개발에 필요한 요구사항들을 분석하고 이를 기반으로 소프트웨어를 설계, 구현한다. X-plane 비행시뮬레이터를 이용한 모의실험을 통하여 복수의 비행데이터들이 화면에 효과적으로 출력됨을 확인하고 다수의 소형무인비행체에서 전송되는 영상데이터들이 실시간으로 통합 시현됨을 보인다.
