플로킹 이론 기반 자율정찰비행 무인항공기의 탐색성능 향상에 관한 연구

국문 초록 (Abstract)

다수의 무인항공기를 이용하여 표적을 탐색 및 추적하는 임무를 수행하는데 있어서 무인항공기의 운용 대수, 비행고도 등 운용 조건뿐만 아니라, 각 비행체들이 어떤 알고리즘을 이용해 비행경로를 결정하느냐에 따라 그 임무에 대한 성과는 크게 달라질 수 있다. 다만 이러한 표적 탐색 임무에서 자율 비행 무인항공기의 운용 방법이 어떠할 때 가장 효과적이며 효율적인지에 대한 연구는 미흡한 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 플로킹 이론을 기반을 둔 다양한 자율비행 알고리즘을 활용하여, 다수의 무인 항공기가 서로 충돌을 회피하면서 표적을 탐지하는 임무를 기반으로 비행 시뮬레이션을 수행하고 그 결과를 분석하여, 표적 탐지 임무에서의 다수의 무인항공기를 제어할 수 있는 보다 효율적/효과적인 방안을 제시하였다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In conducting a mission to explore and track targets using a number of unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs), performance for that mission may vary significantly depending on the operating conditions of the UAVs such as the number of operations, the altitude, and what future flight paths each aircraft decides based on its current position. However, studies on the number of operations, operating conditions, and flight patterns of unmanned aircraft in these surveillance missions are insufficient. In this study, several types of flight simulations were conducted to detect and determine targets while multiple UAVs were involved in the avoidance of collisions according to various autonomous flight algorithms based by flocking theory, and the results were presented to suggest a more efficient/effective way to control a number of UAVs in target detection missions.
