육상, 해양, 항공 등의 응용분야에 위성항법보강시스템의 활용을 위해서는 시스템의 정확성, 무결성, 연속성, 가용성 요구 조건을 만족하도록 설계되어야 하며, 무결성 요구 조건을 만족시키기 위하여 측위 오차 및 위협 요인들을 지상국에서 감시해야한다. 특히, 전리층 변화는 지역적으로 경향 및 세기가 달라 전리층 폭풍 발생 시 지상국과 이동체에서 받은 위성항법 신호에 포함된 전리층 지연 오차의 편차가 심하여 위성항법 사용자의 무결성, 즉 안정성이 위협을 받는 상황이 발생할 수 있으므로, 해당지역의 전리층 변화에 대한 사전 정보를 통해 지역별로 적합한 위협 모델을 구성하여 전리층 활동 감시가 필요하다. 전리층 기울기는 전리층 지연값 분포의 불균일 여부를 정량화한 값으로, 전리층 폭풍 발생시 기울기가 급증하여 전리층 폭풍 감지를 위한 지표로 활용될 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 육상 교통 위성항법보강시스템의 무결성 감시에 전리층 변화 기능을 적용하기 위한 기본 연구로 IGS에서 제공하는 전리층 보정정보를 이용하여 한반도 상공에 대한 전리층 기울기 분포 및 변화 경향을 파악하고, 이러한 분석 결과를 전리층 기울기에 대한 보정정보 오차범위 설정이나 전리층 폭풍 발생 판단에 필요한 임계값 설정 등에 적용하고자 한다.

During extreme ionospheric storms, anomalous ionospheric delays and gradients could cause potential integrity threats to users of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) augmentation systems. GNSS augmentation ground facilities must monitor these ionospheric anomalies defined by a threat model and alarm the users of safely-of-life applications within time-to-alerts. Because the ionospheric anomaly threat model is developed using data collected from GNSS reference stations, the use of poor-quality data can degrade the performance of the threat model. As the total number of stations increases, the number of station with poor GNSS data quality also increases. This paper analyzes the quality of data collected from Korean GPS reference stations using comprehensive GNSS data quality check algorithms. The results show that the range of good and poor qualities varies noticeably for each quality parameter. Especially erroneous ionospheric delay and gradients estimates are produced due to poor quality data. The results obtained in this study should be a basis for determining GPS data quality criteria in the development of ionospheric threat models.

The purposes of this paper are to research the military utilization of weather modification techniques and to induce their research priority when considering the Korean Peninsular environment and technical level. To achieve these goals, the advantages and disadvantages of weather modification technologies have been discussed, and the evaluation index evaluation was derived through the Delphi method, and the weight of the evaluation index and the final research priority were induced through analytic hierarchical process. Analysis shows that the ionospheric modulation technology has the highest priority in terms of effectiveness as a weapon system and compatibility in the Korean Peninsula environment. It is expected that Korean ionosphere modification can disturb C4ISR function of the enemy and guarantee ours reliably when operating PGM, military satellite, surveillance & reconnaissance equipments, etc. Other weather modification technologies except for ionosphere modification should be developed gradually in that potential threat can be expanded to neighboring countries after the Unification of the Korea.

Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) has a weakness of signal integrity caused by broadcasting type data transmitting direct to user from navigation satellite. Loss of GNSS signal integrity can make a catastrophic event in the operation of unmanned aerial system (UAS) because position decision is only depended on GNSS. So it is required to apply alternative method to reduce a risk and to guarantee a GNSS signal integrity for UAS operation. This paper addressed the reason of loosing GNSS signal integrity, the effectiveness of signal jamming/spoofing and GNSS application trend for UAS. Also suggested the flight safety enhancing method in case of GNSS signal jamming for UAS as technical and political approaches.

Modern aircraft air navigation has been changed from the conventional air navigation aid to utilizing Global Navigation Satellite System. For the air navigation of fast moving aircraft, GNSS required extremely high accuracy and reliability. This study reviews the basic concept of Satellite Based Augmentation System which is discussed in the International Working Group of International Civil Aviation Organization and status of some SBAS leading State's case. In addition to that, a progress of SBAS development and implementation in the Republic of Korea was reviewed with pointing out of general hurdles and counter measures.
