경남 지역의 물류 취약성 문제 해결을 위한 K-드론 기반 섬 배송 실증 연구

초록

This study evaluated the flight safety of a drone-based delivery system through an analysis of the flight route and hovering data collected from a K-drone island delivery demonstration conducted in Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea. The evaluation criteria were defined to determine if the drone maintained its planned flight path within a tolerance of 10 m and achieved stable hovering performance within ±3 m in the horizontal radius and altitude. Based on these criteria, a quantitative error analysis was performed using real flight data obtained during the demonstration operation. The results suggest that the flight path deviation and hovering errors were consistently maintained within 3% across the entire operational section. Hence, the drone system satisfied the required flight safety standards for delivery operations under the given environmental conditions. These findings confirm the feasibility of applying drone-based logistics in geographically constrained areas such as island regions, where conventional transportation infrastructure is limited. Therefore, this study provides foundational data for the safe operation and commercialization of drone delivery services. Furthermore, the results are expected to contribute to the development of standardized evaluation criteria and the establishment of a Korean Urban Air Mobility (K-UAM) delivery system.
