Abstract

Various convergence technologies discovered through the 4th industrial revolution are permeating the industry. Drones are being used in industries such as construction, transportation, and national defense based on convergence technology. Quart-copter drone control is being used in a wide range of fields from the visual field of operation with the naked eye to the remote field of view using GCS. If we classify those who operate industrial drones, there are general pilots who directly use drones, instructors who train drone pilots, and mechanics who check the status of drones and use them for a long time. Depending on the shape of the screen of the drone GCS, a user's quick response or key data can be acquired. Accordingly, in this study, GUI characteristics were analyzed for the mission planner GCS and a screen composition method according to the user was proposed.

제4차 산업혁명을 통하여 발견된 다양한 융합기술은 산업에 스며들고 있다. 드론은 융합기술을 기반으로 건설, 교통, 국방 등의 산업에서 활용되고 있다. 회전익 드론 조종은 눈으로 보며 동작시키는 가시권에서부터 GCS를 활용한 원격지 비 가시권까지 다양한 범위에서 활용되고 있다. 산업용 드론을 운영하는 관계자를 분류하면 드론을 직접 활용하는 일반 조종자, 드론 조종자를 양성하는 교관, 드론의 상태를 점검하고 장기간 활용할 수 있게 하는 정비사 등이 있다. 드론 GCS의 화면은 어떠한 형태로 나타나느냐에 따라서 사용자의 빠른 대응, 또는 핵심적인 데이터를 획득할 수 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 미션플래너 GCS를 대상으로 GUI 특성을 분석하여 사용자에 따른 화면 구성방안을 설계하였다.
