This paper proposes a communication redundancy scheme for network based real-time drone position reporting to enable efficient unmanned aircraft system traffic management (UTM), and quantitatively analyzes its performance. Terrestrial mobile networks such as long-term evolution (LTE) exhibit limitations in coverage at drone operating altitudes. To address this, a dual-network configuration that combines LTE with either the 433 MHz or C-band frequency is introduced. Through simulations that reflect real terrain, buildings, and base station deployments, it is demonstrated that this approach significantly reduces coverage holes. Analysis of signal-to-Interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) distributions across various altitudes and environments shows that the proposed dual-network configuration provides superior coverage and communication reliability compared to LTE-only systems. Due to the different propagation characteristics of the two frequency bands, each network complements the other's blind spots, confirming that this redundant setup can serve as a reliable communication infrastructure for UTM.

In this paper, we analyzed the types of maritime cyber accidents and proposed endpoint detection and response technology for ships as a countermeasure against endpoint attacks, which are the main types of ship cyber attacks. Based on the main functions of EDR, which are detection, response, investigation, and treatment, we defined a detection engine for malicious behavior detection and a type-specific detection policy based on this, and developed endpoint detection and response technology for ships to monitor the status, major warnings, and threat information of cyber threats of computer-based systems installed on ships and enable automatic response. In addition, we compared the virus scan time and system resource usage to ensure interoperability with the antivirus solution installed on the ship according to the operating environment of the ship, and verified that the two solutions can interoperate without conflict or interference.

As the development of advanced air vehicles (AAV), which are gaining attention as next-generation air transportation system, accelerates, the need for avionics system for AAV is emerging. The main components of the avionics system for AAV, compact flight control computer(CFCC), vehicle management computer (VMC), are also being developed in line with this trend, and various validations are required upon completion. In this paper, we propose the design of an integrated validation environment using STE/SIL and a cockpit simulator, with the goal of integrating the hardware and software of the VMC and CFCC mounted on AAV and integrated testing of the avionics architecture for AAV. The real-time system-based STE/SIL consists of test software such as avionics and flight control system equipment models, and an integrated test environment including interface integrity of VMC and CFCC, OFP function, and performance test was designed. In addition, the flight operability was verified through the design of an cockpit simulator for AAV that can simulate the actual flight environment.

This study proposes a linear regression model for predicting time-dependent output using sensor data collected from an inertial navigation system. High-resolution data sampled at 5 ms intervals were used to mathematically analyze the linear relationship between time and sensor output. Some sensor data exhibited high coefficients of determination and low mean squared errors, confirming the effectiveness of the regression model, especially in short-term prediction scenarios. In contrast, position data showed cumulative errors and nonlinear behavior, limiting the applicability of linear models. The proposed model can be used for real-time prediction and sensor correction, even in environments without external position references. This demonstrates high potential for applications in embedded systems relying solely on internal sensors. Future research is expected to enhance prediction accuracy by integrating nonlinear regression techniques or deep learning approaches to address more complex sensor dynamics.

The radar sensor distinguishes itself from existing systems by minimizing sensitivity to environmental factors, eliminating privacy concerns, and enabling real-time contactless control due to its compact data size. Accordingly, this paper proposes a continuous wave (CW) radar sensor-based foot gesture recognition system designed for convenient vehicle trunk control in situations where both hands are occupied. Five distinct foot gestures were measured using a 24 GHz CW radar sensor, and spectrograms were extracted through short-time Fourier transform. To minimize computational complexity and memory usage, the AI classifier was designed based on a binarized neural network (BNN), and its performance was compared and analyzed against a convolutional neural network (CNN). The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 98.20% and was successfully implemented on a Raspberry Pi 4, demonstrating its capability for efficient real-time inference in low-spec embedded environments.

In recent precision-guided weapon systems, the utilization of compact integrated sensors with multiple physical modalities has been steadily increasing. As a result, there is a growing need for integrated inspection platforms capable of evaluating sensor fusion performance under realistic environmental conditions. Conventional verification approaches have relied primarily on single-sensor tests or software-based simulations, which are limited in assessing spatial and temporal alignment across multiple sensing domains. To address this challenge, this study proposes an automated inspection platform that combines a multiple sensor simulator capable of simultaneously generating microwave and infrared physical signals within an anechoic chamber with a control console and test management system. The proposed system enables scenario-based automated inspections and synchronized stimulus delivery, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of response evaluations for compact multi-sensor devices. This approach enhances the credibility of system-level inspections and supports maintenance efficiency through test automation.

Recently, as the complexity and diversification of modern battlefields accelerate, the importance of employing artificial intelligence(AI) models for target classification in artillery radar systems has become increasingly prominent. Traditional identification methods based on target dynamic characteristics face limitations in accurately distinguishing diverse targets, leading to reduced reliability in tactical decision-making. AI-based models, by leveraging large-scale training data, can effectively learn the features and behavioral patterns of targets, achieving high classification accuracy even in complex environments. During model training, radar-collected data are used as inputs, and the coordinate system in which these data are represented can significantly affect model performance. This paper compares the performance of data transformed into various coordinate systems, such as antenna(ANT), east- north-up(ENU), earth-centered earth-fixed(ECEF), and latitude-longitude-altitude(LLA), and proposes a method for selecting the optimal coordinate system based on whether rotation augmentation is applied to remove positional bias.

This study proposes the design and implementation of an intelligent real-time CCTV monitoring system utilizing AI-based edge computing technology. Conventional CCTV systems face challenges such as heavy manpower demand for monitoring large volumes of video data in real-time and inefficient use of network and storage resources, which hinder rapid response to abnormal events. To address these issues, the proposed system deploys lightweight deep learning object detection models on edge devices to detect key events in real time and selectively transmit and store video data based on event occurrence. Additionally, a centralized server and a web/mobile interface for administrators are developed to enable efficient real-time monitoring and prompt alert notifications. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system outperforms traditional methods in terms of object recognition accuracy, minimized event detection latency, and resource efficiency for both network and storage, while significantly enhancing user convenience. This research contributes to improving the real-time capability and reliability of security monitoring in smart city and industrial environments.

Deploying real-time video analytics on resource-constrained edge devices presents significant challenges due to the dual demands of AI inference and high-resolution streaming. To address this, a three-layer adaptive control framework is introduced that monitors inference latency from a YOLOv11n detector and dynamically tunes GStreamer parameters in real time. Running on a Raspberry Pi 5, the system adapts bitrate, resolution, and buffer size based on real-time system feedback, achieving frame drop rates under 0.3% even under high load― en times more stable than static pipelines. This work demonstrates a practical method for improving QoE through inference-driven control.

As urban air mobility (UAM) moves toward full-scale commercialization, ensuring the safety of vertiport approach and departure airspace has emerged as a critical technical challenge. Traditional airport surveillance systems face limitations in detecting and assessing real-time risks posed by non-cooperative intruders such as birds and drones. This study proposes a risk-based surveillance operation concept based on the characteristics and behavioral patterns of intruding objects surrounding vertiports. To this end, the structural layout of vertiports and threat factors by intruder type are analyzed, and a multi-sensor surveillance framework along with a real-time risk assessment model is designed. The proposed system quantifies the threat level of intruders to determine airspace availability and issues alerts to support operator decision-making. This surveillance concept can be extended to future high-density UAM environments, enabling automated situational awareness and decision support.

This study examines the institutional status of aircraft operation businesses in Korea and suggests improvement measures. A comparative analysis of general aviation systems in the United States, Japan, and Europe was conducted, along with descriptive statistics on 50 domestic operators and 173 aircraft. Interviews with practitioners in wildfire suppression, aerial spraying, and emergency medical services, together with a meta-review of related literature, were used for triangulation. The analysis identified five key limitations: undifferentiated registration, short-term low-cost contracts, lack of workforce training, insufficient insurance and financial support, and fragmented supervision. To address these issues, the study proposes a dual classification of operators, performance-based long-term contracts, a national workforce roadmap, financial subsidies, and a data-driven supervisory framework. These findings provide a policy basis for enhancing the stability and sustainability of high-risk public missions in Korea’s general aviation sector.

The Ku-band FMCW radio altimeter transmits a frequency-modulated continuous wave signal and calculates the altitude based on the frequency difference between the transmitted signal and the reflected signal reflected from the ground. The Ku-band FMCW radio altimeter consists of RFM and SPM. The size of the fabricated module is 112 x 135 x 41 mm and the weight is less than 1 kg. The operating altitude is 0 to 1500 m and the altitude accuracy is less than 1 m. at The maximum transmission output is 20 dBm or more, and the output value can be adjusted using a digital attenuator depending on the operating altitude. The AGC function is applied to the received signal to adjust the reception gain according to the reception sensitivity. The altitude is calculated through the FPGA in the SPM using the frequency difference between the transmitted signal and the received reflected signal.
