Description

정밀위치추적기능이 구비된 무인기시스템 및 그 제어방법{UAV System having an Accuracy Position Tracking Function and Controlling Method for the Same}Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a UAV system having an accurate position tracking function and a control method thereof,

본 발명은 정밀위치추적기능이 구비된 무인기시스템 및 그 제어방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 무인항공기가 지상통제장비로부터 전송받은 DGPS정보를 이용하여 정확한 위치정보를 획득한후 비행자세제어를 정밀하게 수행하므로써, 비행안전성을 극대화시키는 정밀위치추적기능이 구비된 무인기시스템 및 그 제어방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle system having a precise position tracking function and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to an unmanned aerial vehicle system capable of accurately acquiring position information using DGPS information transmitted from a ground control device, , A UAV system equipped with a precise position tracking function for maximizing flight safety, and a control method thereof.

일반적으로 무인항공기는 동떨어져 있는 원격 조종원에 의해서 조종되는 비행기를 말하는데, 종래에는 주로 정찰, 표적용으로만 사용되어 왔으나 근래에는 후방에 있는 조종사의 전파, 광선을 이용한 원격조정으로 정찰, 폭격, 공중전 등 모든 공중활동을 한다. 따라서, 상기와 같은 무인기에는 조종사의 눈 구실을 하는 카메라를 비롯한 각종 전자장치를 탑재하고 있다. 그리고 상기와 같은 무인기가 가지는 다양한 장점으로 인하여 군수용 무인기 시장이 급성장 추세에 있고, 민수용으로까지 시장이 확대되고 있는 상황에서 무인기 시스템은 특성상 IT 기술인 탑재시스템과 지상시스템 소프트웨어가 매우 중요한 비중을 차지하면서 주요기반을 이루고 있는데, 무인기의 총 개발비 중 반이상 수준인 SW 개발비용이 중복 투자되고 있으며, 선진국의 수출제한조치에 의한 기술보호로 무인기 핵심 SW 기술이 정치/경제적 측면에서 전략적으로 활용되고 있다. 그래서 상기와 같은 무인기의 WBS(World Best Software)과제는 다양한 기종에 적용 가능한 무인기 공통탑재 SW 의 표준 플랫폼과 이를 쉽게 개발하기 위한 개발환경을 포함한 무인기용 표준 SW 솔루션 및 Test-bed 를 개발하여 항공기의 비행제어컴퓨터에 시키는 것이 필요하다. Generally, unmanned airplane is an airplane controlled by a remote remote control. It has been used mainly for reconnaissance and table applications. In recent years, however, And so on. Therefore, various electronic devices including a camera serving as a pilot's eye are mounted on the UAV. In addition, due to the various advantages of the UAV, the military UAV market is growing fast and the market is expanding to the civilian market. Therefore, the UAV system and the ground system software are very important in the UAV system, , Which is more than half of the total development cost of UAV, is being invested in the same way, and UAV core SW technology is being utilized strategically for technological protection by export restriction measures in advanced countries. Thus, the WBS (World Best Software) task of the UAV has developed a standard SW solution and test-bed for the UAV, including the standard platform of the common-mount SW that can be applied to various models and the development environment to easily develop it, It is necessary to put it on the flight control computer.

그러면, 상기와 같은 종래 무인항공기시스템을 도 1을 참고로 살펴보면, DGPS 수신기(70)를 탑재하고 각각의 GPS위성(71)으로부터 수신된 GPS신호를 DGPS수신기(70)를 통해 DGPS기준국(74)으로부터 수신받은 보정신호로 보정하여 정밀위치를 획득하고, 무선원격제어신호에 따라 원격비행을 실행하는 무인항공기(72)와;1, a DGPS receiver 70 is mounted and a GPS signal received from each GPS satellite 71 is transmitted to a DGPS reference station 74 through a DGPS receiver 70, And a remote control unit for controlling the remote control unit based on the wireless remote control signal.

상기 무인항공기(72)와 무선데이터링크를 구성한 후 무선데이터링크를 통해 무인항공기의 비행을 원격제어하는 지상통제장비(73)를 포함하여 구성된다. And a ground control device (73) for remotely controlling the flight of the UAV through a wireless data link after configuring a wireless data link with the UAV (72).

한편, 상기와 같은 종래 무인항공기시스템의 동작은 먼저, 무인항공기(72)의 운용자가 무인항공기(72)를 이륙시킨후 지상통제장비(73)를 통해 무인항공기(72)와 무선데이터링크를 연결시킨다. 그리고 상기와 같이 연결된 무선데이터링크를 통해 지상통제장비(73)에서 무선원격제어신호를 무인항공기(73)로 전송하여 비행을 제어한다. 이 과정에서, 상기 무인항공기(72)는 각각의 GPS위성(71)으로부터 GPS신호를 수신하여 측정된 거리(의사거리)와 탑재된 DGPS 수신기(70)를 통해 DGPS기준국(74)으로부터 수신받은 보정신호를 이용하여 확보한 거리를 비교 계산하므로써, 위성벡터 차이를 보정하여 정밀위치를 획득한다. 즉, 상기 무인항공기(72)는 수신한 위성에서의 의사거리, 시간정보 및 궤도데이터에서의 거리오차를 검출하여 탑재된 DGPS 수신기(70)를 통해 각 지역에 산재된 DGPS 기준국(74)으로부터 RTCM SC-104(Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services, Special Committee 104)의 포맷형식에 따라 변조되어 방송되는 DGPS기준신호를 이용하여 보정하므로써, 무인항공기(72)의 정밀한 위치를 확보하게된다. 따라서, 상기 무인항공기(72)는 상기와 같이 탑재된 DGPS수신기(70)를 통해 보정한 정밀위치신호를 지상통제장비(73)로 전송하여 이착륙을 실행하게 된다. The operation of the conventional unmanned aerial vehicle system as described above is such that an operator of the unmanned airplane 72 takes off the unmanned airplane 72 and connects the unmanned airplane 72 and the wireless data link through the ground control equipment 73 . Then, the ground control device 73 transmits the wireless remote control signal to the UAV 73 through the wireless data link as described above to control the flight. In this process, the UAV 72 receives a GPS signal from each GPS satellite 71 and receives the GPS signal from the DGPS reference station 74 via the DGPS receiver 70 mounted with the measured distance (pseudorange) By comparing the distance obtained by using the correction signal, the satellite vector difference is corrected to obtain the precise position. That is, the UAV 72 detects a distance error in pseudo range, time information, and orbit data in the received satellite, and detects the distance error from the DGPS reference station 74 scattered in each region through the mounted DGPS receiver 70 The DGPS reference signal modulated according to the format format of the RTCM SC-104 (Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services, Special Committee 104) is used to compensate for the precise position of the UAV 72. Therefore, the UAV 72 transmits the corrected position signal, which is corrected through the DGPS receiver 70, to the ground control equipment 73 to perform takeoff and landing.

그러나, 상기와 같은 종래 무인항공기시스템은 무인항공기에 대한 정밀한 위치를 확보하기위해 별도로 무인항공기에 고가의 DGPS수신기를 탑재시켜야 하기 때문에 무인기시스템의 운용비용이 상당히 증가시켰으며, 또한 무인항공기의 설계시에 별도 공간을 마련하여 DGPS수신기를 탑재시켜야 하므로 그에 따라 무인항공기의 안정된 설계에도 상당한 어려움을 초래하였다는 문제점이 있었다.However, since the conventional unmanned aerial vehicle system as described above requires an expensive DGPS receiver to be mounted on a UAV, in order to secure a precise position of the UAV, the operation cost of the UAV is considerably increased, The DGPS receiver must be mounted in a separate space. Therefore, it has been difficult to design a stable U-plane.
