Abstract

Link-16 is a data link that provides joint interoperability to the US Navy, Air Force and NATO. Currently, the military relies entirely on foreign SW and tools for test environment, tactical simulation training and interoperability verification test for Link-16 operation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop Link-16 based operation environment test tool. In this paper, Link-16 network operational performance analysis simulator was developed by analyzing the function of Link-16 foreign tools. It also implements the SIMPLE standard interface for interworking with foreign SW and tools. The functional model for Link-16 network operation performance analysis consists of pre-analysis, real-time operational analysis, and post-analysis functional model. Each functional model test was performed through SIMPLE interworking with foreign SW and tools. Link-16 network operation performance analysis If we replace foreign SW through simulator, we can perform tactical training, network design verification and operation (scenario) verification for our military.

Link-16은 미 해군 및 공군, NATO에 합동 상호운용성을 제공하는 데이터링크로 국내 무기체계에서도 운용되고 있다. 현재 Link-16 운용을 위한 시험환경, 전술모의훈련 및 상호운용성 검증 시험은 해외 SW 및 도구를 통해 전적으로 의존하고 있다. 따라서 Link-16 기반의 운용환경시험 도구의 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 Link-16 해외도구 기능 분석을 통해 Link-16 네트워크 운용성능분석 시뮬레이터를 개발하였다. 또한 연동을 위한 SIMPLE 표준 인터페이스를 구현하였다. Link-16 네트워크 운용성능분석을 위한 기능모델은 사전분석, 실시간 운용분석, 사후분석 기능모델로 구성된다. 각 기능모델에 대한 시험은 해외 SW 및 도구와 SIMPLE 연동을 통해서 수행하였다. Link-16 네트워크 운용성능분석 시뮬레이터를 통해 해외 SW를 대체하게 된다면 우리 군에 맞는 전술훈련 및 네트워크 운용성능분석, 운용(시나리오)검증을 수행할 수 있을 것이다.
