Abstract

Recently, the development for USV-related technologies are actively growing up in military domain. The USV (unmanned surface vehicle) conducts various missions for national defense at maritime environment. For succeed the missions, the USV essentially needs an automatic and remote control platform which includes propulsion system, steering system, control system, power system and so on. In this paper, we developed an integrated control system for the platform equipments and verified effectiveness of the developed system. To do this, we designed a system architecture and implemented a main control system that processes and controls platform equipments by received command. Also we developed components of designed architecture such as engine control device, water-jet control device and power control device. For test and verify the developed system, we designed and made a test-bed of engine and water-jet with related parts, and proceeded a basin test for verifying the developed system based on the test-bed.

최근 해양 환경에서 국방과 관련한 임무를 수행하는 무인수상정(USV, unmaned surface vehicle)의 개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 무인수상정이 해양 환경에서 성공적인 임무를 수행하기 위해서는 선체부, 추진시스템, 조향시스템, 제어시스템, 전원시스템 등을 포함하는 원격/자율 무인수상정 플랫폼이 필수적으로 요구된다. 기존 무인수상정은 기계식 제어 방식을 채택하고 있었지만, 이는 중량 등 여러가지 측면에서의 제약을 가진다. 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 무인수상정의 플랫폼 장비를 전자적으로 제어하기 위한 시스템을 개발하고, 개발한 시스템을 실험하여 유용성을 검증하는 것에 관한 내용을 다룬다. 이를 위해서 제어 명령에 따라 엔진, 워터젯, 전원 등 플랫폼 장비를 제어하기 위한 주 제어 시스템과 엔진 제어장치, 워터젯 제어장치, 전원 제어장치에 관한 시스템 아키텍처를 설계하고, 각 구성 요소를 개발한다. 또한, 개발한 시스템의 수조 실험 및 검증을 위하여 엔진 및 워터젯의 각 구성 요소를 포함하는 테스트베드를 설계 및 제작하였고, 이를 기반으로 실험을 수행하여 개발한 시스템의 유용성을 검증하였다.
