Abstract

As unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been utilized for military operation, efficient ways for controlling UAV has been necessary. In particular, instead of conventional approach using console control, speech recognition based UAV control is essential for military environments in which rapid command operation is required. But research on this novel approach is not actively studied yet. In this study, we introduce efficient ways of speech recognition system operation for voice-driven UAV control, focusing on mission command control from manned aircraft rather than ground control center. We propose an efficient way of system operation for UAV control in cooperation of aircraft and UAV, and verify its efficiency via speech recognition experiment.

군사 작전 환경에서 무인 항공기의 활용도가 확대됨에 따라 효율적인 무인기 제어 방식에 대한 연구가 활발하다. 특히 신속한 임무 처리가 요구되는 군 환경에서 기존의 버튼 방식이 지닌 조작의 불편함을 해소하려는 목적으로 음성인식을 통한 무인기 제어 방식이 시도되고 있으며, 아직 초기연구 수준에 머물러 있다. 본 연구에서는 음성 기반의 무인기 제어를 위해 효율적인 음성인식 시스템 운용 체계를 제안한다. 특히 지상관제 센터에 의한 무인기 제어보다는 유/무인기 협업 환경에서 유인기 조종사가 무인기를 직접 통제하는데 효율적인 음성인식 시스템 운용 방식을 제안하며, 음성인식 실험을 통해 운용 체계의 효율성을 검증한다.
