Improving Operability of SmartUAV in Navigable Airspace of Korea

Abstract:

UAV operations have increased steadily during the past several years in both the public and private sectors in Korea. However, there are many limitations for installation of ground based navigation-aids in Korea because 70 percent of its geography is mountainous. Furthermore, airspace for civil aircraft operations is very limited due to military operating areas and restricted airspaces established by military. This paper is a study on measure for integrating SmartUAV safely and smoothly within current airspace for manned aerial vehicle operation and expanding SmartUAV’s operability. This study is approaching SmartUAV in operational side not developmental side, looking into ways of expanding UAV operability by adapting it to existing navigable airspace and ATS.
