The UAV Engineering Department at Kyungwoon University earned top honours in the "Radio Environment Analysis" category at South Korea's UAM Olympiad. Held in October, the competition highlighted innovative advancements in Urban Air Mobility (UAM). The Kyungwoon University's team presented a UAM route connecting a key station to the airport, a feat achieved using HTZ Warfare.
HTZ Warfare played a pivotal role in their success, enabling precise modelling of the radio communication environment along the proposed route. By identifying coverage gaps and optimising network performance, the team showcased how HTZ enhances UAM planning to ensure reliable, interference-free connectivity. Judges commended the team's practical and forward-thinking approach, enabled by HTZ's advanced capabilities.
Team leader Jin-Yeon Park reflected on the tool’s significance: “We designed routes that address real-life challenges. HTZ Warfare provides accurate modelling while supporting advanced features like interference management and enhanced network coverage.”
The software excels at simulating radio propagation across varied terrains, allowing users to model diverse conditions with precision. Its frequency allocation planning capabilities further enhance route reliability, addressing unique challenges in regional communication infrastructure.
Soo-Kil Park, Director of the Counter-UAS Defense Research Center at Kyungwoon University and supervising professor, stated, “As UAM requires a communication system grounded in mobile communications infrastructure, HTZ Warfare is an invaluable tool for designing and managing the radio environment of aerial corridors.”
HTZ Warfare proves itself as a versatile tool for both academic and industry applications, empowering users to develop robust, practical solutions across a wide range of radio technologies and demonstrating its transformative potential in advancing innovation.
