Simulated target generators are used to evaluate the various radar performance. Using the radar parameters such as target range(time delay), doppler frequency, target RCS, simulated target generator can be developed. Especially moving targets are simulated by control time delay and update target signal intensive for target range. Base on this concepts, in this paper, simulated target generators are designed and developed for X-band Radar performance test. Developed equipment is evaluated its performance and then tested with X-band Radar. This paper presents these design, development, and test results of developed target generator.

In flight tests, aircraft moves in real time, so it is important that data from instrumentation/measurement equipment used to determine aircraft status are processed in necessary form and transmitted to flight control systems in real time. Therefore, through telemetry data processing time reduction and processing cycle improvement in flight test control computer data processing system, in order to provide faster slave-data and safety judgment information to radar/telemetry slave-data processing, flight safety analysis system, emergency destruction transmission system, etc., we developed a PCM processing system that can be operated independently by installing data processing software that can receive and process PCM data in current telemetry data processing system and radar information at the same time. In this paper, we explain classified software functions in detail, starting with overall structure of PCM data processing systems developed by supplementing existing systems. Additionally, PCM data processing system will be supplemented through system stabilization and test operation.

Radar receiving echo signal provides target information - range, velocity and position by signal magnitude and Doppler shift, which are determined by target reflection characteristics and target maneuver. Target angle error is extracted from the magnitude ratio of difference channel to sum channel. In this paper, we introduce a radar Return Signal Simulation Equipment(RSSE) which is implemented for the purpose of performance analysis and evaluation of phased array multi-function radar(MFR). It generates multi-target environment with jamming signals using MC-DDS (Multi-Channel Direct Digital Synthesis), and has scalability by using the efficient hardware configuration. The performance of the developed RSSE has been evaluated under various test environments. Especially, we proved that required target detection performance is achieved by RSP(Radar Signal Processor) interfaced RSSE configuration.

To analyze and verify the performance of a MWR(Missile Warning Radar) of a GVWS(Ground Vehicle Weapon System), there is a need to make a simulator which can conduct the linked and engaged test virtually using the simulated signals. In this paper, a method of the simulator design for MWR is proposed to solve the above need. The SP(Signal Processor) part which generates the simulated signals and analyzes the algorithms is explained. The RF(Radio Frequency) part which transforms IF(Intermediate Frequency) signals into RF signals, radiates RF signals, and controls the linked equipments is also explained. The utility of the proposed design is proved by presenting the results of the contributions to the development of MWR.

In this paper, The flight data processing system was designed for multiple target flight test. For flight data processing, multiple target grouping, data fusion processing, and data slaving processing were performed and, as a data fusion filter, centralized, and federated Kalman filters were designed. A centralized kalman filter was modified in order to improve the vehicle's low altitude measurement using radar's SNR and estimation process. From the testing of multiple target missile, it confirmed flight trajectory measurement was improved in low altitude area and the beginning stage of vehicle.

Synthetic Aperture Radar is an active sensor utilizing the microwaves in order to get the requested high resolution imageries day or night regardless of the weather conditions. In this paper, the architecture of a real-time system controller for the airborne small SAR system, KOrea Miniature SAR which was developed by Agency for Defense Development is proposed considering the embedded real-time environment. The main purpose of the system controller is to control the internal and the rest of subsystem within SAR system in real-time. The main characteristics of the proposed system controller were implemented using the real-time operating system and the distributed hardware architecture for the small, low weight and real-time operation. The system controller performance and real-time operation were verified and confirmed by the demo flight with the KT-1 airplane.

This paper describes the realization of a coordinates tracking algorithm for an EOTS (Electro-Optical Tracking System). The EOTS stabilizes the image sensors, tracks targets automatically, and provides navigation capability for vehicles. The coordinates tracking algorithm calculates the azimuth and the elevation angle of an EOTS using the inertial navigation system and the attitude sensors of the vehicle, so that LOS designates the target coordinates which are generated by a Radar. In the error analysis, the unexpected behaviors of an EOTS due to the time delay and deadbeat of the digital signals of the vehicle equipments are anticipated and the countermeasures are suggested. The application of this algorithm to an EOTS will improve the operational capability by reducing the time which is required to find the target and support flight especially in the night time flight and the poor weather condition.

최근 해상교통관제시스템(VTS : Vessel Traffic Service)은 항행지원정보교류가 가능한 육상국으로서 선박 통항의 안전과 효율성을 증진시키고 환경을 보호하는 e-Navigation의 핵심적 시스템으로 역할이 기대되고 있다. 최근 IALA를 통하여 국제적으로 데이터 공유를 위한 구조에 대한 연구와 표준 포맷이 정해지고 있으며 IVEF(IVEF:Inter-VTS Data Exchange Format)는 이중의 한 중요한 요소이다. 이러한 실시간의 트래픽 정보는 국가적으로 보안에 민감한 요소이나 현 규격에 정해진 보안성에 대한 규정은 다소 정해진 바 없이, 연동하기 위한 보안 규격을 다시 설계하여 상호 추진하고 연동시험을 수행해야 될 수준이다. 또한 Radar에 대한 물표 자체의 전달은 현재 고려하고 있지 않기 때문에 Track되지 않은 물표는 불필요한 많은 속성들을 같이 전송해야 하며, 레이더 물표에 대한 별도의 정해진 속성은 없는 상태여서 기존의 선박의 길이를 기반으로 비율을 고려하여 다시 재 산출되어야 가능하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 데이터 공유를 위한 IVEF의 규격을 검토하고 이를 보완하는 내용을 고려하여 새로운 프로토콜 및 방안을 제시한다. 이러한 구조는 VTS 시스템에서 적용 가능한 방안인지를 확인하여, 실제 적용할 수 있는 기술개발로서 방향을 정립하고자 한다.
