Abstract

Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) was launched in 2010 with three payloads that include Ka-band communication payload developed by Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP) and Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI). This study introduces a real-time remote vessel monitoring system built in the Socheongcho Ocean Research Station using the Ka-band communication satellite. The system is composed of three steps; real-time data collection, transmission, and processing/visualization. We describe hardware (H/W) and software systems (S/W) installed to perform each step and the whole procedure that made the raw data become vessel information for a real-time ocean surveillance. In addition, we address functional requirements of H/W and S/W and the important considerations for successful operation of the system. The system is now successfully providing, in near real-time, ship information over a VHF range using AIS data collected in the station. The system is expected to support a rapid and effective surveillance over a huge oceanic area. We hope that the concept of the system can be fully used for real-time maritime surveillance using communication satellite in future.

2010년 발사된 천리안 위성에는 3개의 탑재체가 있으며, 그 중 미래창조과학부와 전자통신연구원에서 개발한 Ka-band 통신 탑재체가 있다. 본 연구에서는 천리안 통신위성을 이용하여 구축한 실시간 원격 선박 모니터링 체계를 소개한다. 이 체계는 실시간 자료 수집, 실시간 자료 전송, 실시간 자료처리/가시화, 크게 총 3단계로 구성된다. 논문에서는 각 단계 수행을 위해 설치한 H/W와 개발한 S/W 내역, 그리고 실시간 자료 수집에서부터, 실시간 전송, 실시간 처리 및 가시화에 이르기까지 과정에 대해 상세히 기술한다. 또한 이러한 과정을 위해 각 단계에서 요구되는 H/W 및 S/W의 기능적 요구사항과 구축 시 고려되어야 하는 사항 등에 대해서도 기술한다. 현재 해당 체계를 이용하여 소청초 해양과학기지에 설치된 AIS로부터 수집되는 선박자료를 준실시간 전송하고, 과학기지 주변 해역의 원격 선박 모니터링을 진행 중이다. 이러한 실시간 원격 모니터링 체계는 효율적인 해양 감시, 사고에 대한 신속한 대응을 가능하게 하며, 특히 이러한 통신 위성 활용 체계는 향후 차세대 민관방송통신위성의 해양분야 통신활용 방향 도출에 있어 매우 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
