Trends in Development of Verification Methods for Flight Safety of AI-Based Military Aircraft Software; [인공지능 기반 군용항공기 탑재 소프트웨어 비행안전성 입증방안 개발 동향]

초록

With the increasing application of artificial intelligence (AI) software in military aircraft, there is a growing need for new airworthiness certification methods to ensure flight safety. This study aims to propose airworthiness certification methods tailored for AI software, which differs significantly from traditional software in its characteristics. Focusing on autonomous flight technology, we analyzed domestic and international policies and systems, and examined related certification standards and case studies. Based on this, we derived safety assurance methods for applying initial-stage AI to military aircraft and suggested future research directions considering the advancement of autonomous flight technology. © 2025 The Korean Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences.
