In the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market, where investment and research are actively ongoing both domestically and internationally, the safety and reliability of UAM have emerged as key issues.
Particularly, there is a growing need for a system that can detect signs of failure in the UAM propulsion system in advance and provide users with component replacement information. Consequently, Supergate is participating in a government-funded project titled "SoC Technology Development for Fault Diagnosis and Prognosis of Advanced Mobility Propulsion Systems."
The ultimate goal is to develop a PHM* system semiconductor with a classification accuracy of over 95% for four high-frequency fault modes in UAM propulsion systems. Utilizing this, the lifespan prediction and data analysis of UAM components will be possible, significantly enhancing the safety of aerial mobility.
Furthermore, this technology is expected to be used in various fields, starting with fault diagnosis and prognosis in UAM and electrified propulsion systems mounted on transport vehicles. It is anticipated to extend to ensuring the system reliability of unmanned transport vehicles, enhancing safety systems in electrified propulsion systems, and being applied in cars, smart factories, national defense, and other areas with electrified systems.
In the global trend towards electrification, Supergate is set to lead the future of mobility safety through the development of advanced technologies.
*PHM (Prognostics and Health Management) refers to the technology of monitoring and predicting the health status of systems or equipment. It is used for fault prediction, remaining life prediction, and reliability and life management of equipment or systems.
