Maritime back-up navigation system in port approach requires a horizontal accuracy of 10 meters in IALA (International Association of Lighthouse Authorities) recommendations. eLoran which is a best back-up navigation system that satisfies accuracy requirement has poor navigation performance depending signal environments. Especially, noise caused by multipath and electronic devices around eLoran antenna affects navigation performance. In this paper, Ship based Navigation Back-up system using UAV on Interference is designed to satisfy horizontal accuracy requirement. To improve the eLoran signal environment, UAVs are equipped with camera, IMU sensor and eLoran antenna and receivers. This proposed system is designed to receive eLoran signal through UAV-based receiver and control UAV's position and attitude within Landmark around area. The ship-based positioning using eLoran signal, vision and attitude information received from UAV satisfy resilient and robust navigation requirements.

Recently, multi-sensor integration techniques have been actively studied to obtain reliable and accurate navigation solution in GPS (Global Positioning System)-denied harsh environments such as urban canyons, tunnels, and underground roads. In this paper, we propose a low-cost ultrasonic-speedometer utilizing the characteristics of the ultrasonic propagation. An efficient integrated INS (inertial navigation system)/ultrasonic-speedometer navigation system is also proposed to improve the accuracy of positioning in GPS-denied environments. To evaluate the proposed system, car experiments with field-collected measurements were performed. By the experiment results, it was confirmed that the proposed INS/ultrasonic-speedometer system bounds the positioning error growth effectively even though GPS signal is blocked more than 10 seconds and a low-cost MEMS IMU (micro electro mechanical systems inertial measurement unit) is utilized.

지상파 항법인 로란은 전송된 신호는 장파특성에 따라 지표파에 의한 정보를 전달하게 되는데 지표면과 해수면의 특성 즉, 전도도에 따라 전파의 지연시간이 달라진다. 이것은 정확도를 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 그러므로 보다 정확도가 요구되는 지역에서는 전파지연에 의해 발생하는 시간적 공간전 변화(ASF)를 보상하게 되면 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 로란시스템의 현대화와 eLoran 시스템에서는 ASF를 보상함으로써 선박이 항만으로 진입 및 접안할 때 활용할 수 있는 정확도 기준을 마련하고 있다. 이 조건을 충족시키기 위해서는 ASF의 정밀측정 필수이며, 본 논문에서는 포항송신국 근해인 영일만 해상에서 ASF를 실측한 결과와 그에 필요한 측정기술을 보고한다.

Although the needs for providing resilient PNT information are increasing, threats due to the intentional RFI or space weather change are challenging to resolve. eLoran, which is a terrestrial navigation system that use a high-power signal is considered as a best back-up navigation system. Depending on the user's environment in the eLoran system, the user may use one of E-field or H-field antennas. H-field antenna, which has no restriction on setting stable ground and is relatively resistant to noise of general electronic equipment, is composed of two loops, and shows anisotropic gain pattern due to the different measurement at the two loops. Therefore, the H-field antenna's phase estimation value of signal varies depending on its direction even at the static environment. The error due to the direction of the signal should be eliminated if the user want to estimate the own position more precisely. In this paper, a method to compensate the error according to the geometric distribution between the H-field antenna and the transmitting station is proposed. A model was developed to compensate the directional error of H-field antenna based on the signal generated from the eLoran signal simulator. The model is then used to the survey measurement performed in the land area and verify its performance.

Re Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries in Korea completed the installation of 8 maritime DGPS station mfd is to going install 3 additional Maritime DGPS station for the enhancement of dual coverage in Korean coasts until Oct. 2002. Moreover, Korean government decided to provide the NDGPS service over the whole Korean inland area, which will be schedule to complete until June. 2004. On this paper to evaluate the propagation characteristics of using maritime DGPS site as un element of NDGPS ann to evaluate the required number of additional NDGPS sites, the propagation characteristics of the radio waves of 300kHz bands on sea and land nth are studied With the result of study, the conceptional design of Korean NDGPS System is proposed, which consists of 5 NDGPS sites with modified antenna and tかee coverage monitoring sites.

우리나라에서는 1995년 5월 서해권 DGPS 보정정보 전송 서비스를 시작으로 NDGPS 기준국망 구축을 완료하고, 선박의 안전한 항행을 위해 실시간 DGPS 보정정보를 국내 연안과 도서지역에 송신하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 NDGPS와 유사한 보정정보 서비스로서 우리나라에서도 수신이 가능한 일본의 위성기반 보정위성항법체계인 MSAS와 현재 우리나라에서 VHF 대역으로 서비스하고 있는 NDGPS 의 성능을 항해장비 이용 관점에서 비교분석한다. 이를 위해 본 논문은 NDGPS 기준국과 이용자 사이의 기저거리를 기준으로 보정정보 도달시간과 수평측위 정확도를 측정한다. 그리고, NDGPS 와 MSAS 간의 성능차이와 항해장비용 보정시스템으로서 MSAS 적용 가능성에 대한 분석결과를 보인다.

Military aircrafts usually operate at the area with lots of threats such as radars and surface-to-air missiles. Aircraft also faces with the unexpected or pop-up threats. Under this environment, a safe flight path should be generated to lead a mission successful. In this paper, a new path planning algorithm is proposed to provide less dangerous flight path efficiently. Of many path planning algorithms, a potential method is considered, because it has advantages of computation efficiency and smooth path generation. Trajectory generation under the condition of maximum range is studied so that the aircraft may reach the target area without refueling. The algorithm to cope with an unexpected situation is also proposed by adopting the concept of initial direction vector, additional force, and a new mapping function. The performance of the proposed algorithms is demonstrated for SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defences) mission by numerical simulation.

In the UAVs, the position error of the inertial navigation system is constantly increased when global positioning system goes wrong due to interference. It makes impossible to ensure mission and flight safety. If the data-link system provide the position of the UAV for inertial navigation system periodically, then the UAV may operate normally under malfunction of the global positioning system. In this paper, we introduce an algorithm for estimating the position of the UAV using the monopulse tracking and distance measurement of the line-of-sight data-link system. Also, we propose a method to improve the performance of position estimation. And we assured ourselves that this method can be applied in the UAVs.
