초록

In this study, we propose a method for applying small quadcopters to military delivery missions. First, we calculate the aerodynamic performance with BEMT, derive the flight characteristics by propulsion types, and then apply it to the mission scenario to derive the operational concept. Battery-powered small quadcopters are advantageous for short-distance delivery missions in small units in the contact area, and gasoline-powered ones are suitable for low-altitude, long-distance medium-sized cargo delivery in units above the company level.
