This paper focuses on development status of eLoran system which is an representative backup PNT system in order to overcome the vulnerability of GNSS signals by radio frequency interference such as jamming. eLoran testbed system consists of new transmitting system for amplifying the signal through signal generation and modulation, differential Loran (dLoran) reference stations for calculating the signal errors received from transmitters, an integrated operation and control system (IOCS) for eLoran service. Therefore we present the configuration of testbed architecture for trial operation of eLoran service and the development status, and discuss about the next step toward backup PNT service using eLoran system.

GPS를 이용하여 고정밀도의 위치정보를 얻기 위해서는 가시위성의 기하학적 배치가 매우 중요한 요소로 작용되며 이 척도가 DOP라고 불리는 계수이다. 본 논문에서는 향후 많은 항법위성이 생길 경우 통합방식에 의해 원하는 위성을 선택함으로서 고의적인 재밍에 대한 대책 및 위치정보의 정밀도 향상 측면에서 매우 유용할 것으로 판단되어 첫 단계로 GPS 와 GLONASS의 통합 시스템 구축시 정밀도의 근간을 이루는 DOP 향상에 대하여 연구하였다. 데이터 분석결과 단독 GPS 사용시 보다 통합 GNSS 시스템이 0.3 ~ 0.8 정도의 우수한 GDOP 정보를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 이는 GDOP 뿐만이 아니라 결과적으로 고정밀도의 위치정보를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The high tech marine transportation infrastructure is an innovative transportation infrastructure that may be able to secure a safe transportation environment as well as efficient operation by connecting up-to-date skills including a broad range of wire and wireless communication-based information, control and electronics technologies. When integrated into the marine transportation infrastructure by the standard requirements, these standard technologies help monitoring and managing navigational aids. This paper defined a concept of middleware in the marine traffic management systems which gives characteristics of system independency, scalability, extensibility, and researches a functionality of the middleware and a software block of the middleware.

The INS(Inertial Navigation System) provides high rate position, velocity and attitude data with good short-term stability while the GPS(Global Position System) provides position and velocity data with long-term stability. By integrating the INS with GPS, a navigation system can be achieved to Provide highly accurate navigation Performance. For the best performance, time synchronization of GPS and INS data is very important in GPS/INS integrated system But, it is impossible to synchronize them exactly due to the communication and computation time-delay. In this paper, to reduce the error caused by the measurement time-delay in GPS/INS integrated systems, error compensation methods using separate bias Kalman filter are suggested for both the loosely-coupled and the tightly-coupled GPS/INS integration systems. Linearized error models for the position and velocity matching GPS/INS integrated systems are Int derived by linearizing with respect to its time-delay and augmenting the delay-state into the conventional state equations for each case. And then separate bias Kalman Inter is introduced to estimate the time-delay during only initial navigation stage. The simulation results show that the present method is effective enough resulting in considerably less position error.

In this study, the performances of a medium grade IMU which is aimed for Mobile Mapping System and a low grade IMU for pedestrian navigation are analyzed through simulations under GPS signal blockage. In addition, an analysis on the accuracy improvement of barometer, electronic compass, or multi-sensor(combination of barometer and electronic compass) to correct medium grade or low grade IMU errors in the situation of GPS signal blockage is performed. With the medium grade IMU, the three dimensional positioning error from INS exceeds the demanded accuracy of 5m when the block time is over 30 seconds. When we correct IMU with barometer, compass, or multi-sensor, however, the demanded accuracy is maintained up to 60 seconds. In addition, barometer is more effective than the electronic compass when they are combined. In case of low grade IMU like MEMS IMU, the three dimensional positioning error from INS exceeds the demanded accuracy of 20m when the block time is over 15 seconds. When we correct INS with barometer, compass, or multi-sensor, however, the demanded accuracy is maintained up to 15 seconds in simulation results. On the contrary to medium grade IMU, electronic compass is more effective than the barometer in case of low velocity such as pedestrian navigation. It is expected that the analysis suggested a method to decrease position or attitude error using aided sensor integration when MMS or pedestrian navigation is operated under 1he environment of GPS signal blockage.

In this paper, We explain the development of helicopter avation information system which provides the current location and other pre-saved informations in order to guarantee the safe aviation. The system we developed has the functions such as displaying digital map data and current location, route planning, displaying the rate of deviation, calculating and displaying the cross sectional view through the route and providing a real-time speed, heading and other informations. In this system, we use GPS to get the current location, made the 1:250,000 digital map to display the current location and made the cross sectional view from the DEM(Digital Elevation Mode)) data to help safe aviation. This system provides many kinds of route setting methods by using UTM coordinates, Lati. Longi, coordinates, database of heliport location, scanned map, etc., and displaying the heading and distance. Moreover, it also has a characteristic of providing a consistent user interface.

Nowadays, many countries are interested in using CPS far navigation system of aircrafts, because it has technical and economic benefits. For the CPS based navigation system, the most important thing is reliability of the system. GPS navigation solution is very accurate. But when some faults are raised in the CPS navigation system of an aircraft, if they cannot be detected and alerts are not generated for pilots, the aircraft cannot be safe. So, I implemented an DGPS integrity monitoring system that detects faults of measurements and exclude the fault measurement from the satellite constellation used for calculating a navigation solution. This paper introduces 'the Least Square Residual Method' used to detect faults of measurements and the implemented real time integrity monitoring system using DGPS. To test the system, I operated the system under many different conditions. And from analysis of the data recorded, I could conclude that when the number of visible satellites was enough to detect faults, the system could detect the faults of measurements perfectly, isolate and exclude the fault measurement well. But for more reliable system, the measurement errors must be estimated more accurately and integrations of CPS and other instruments must be developed.

This paper presents the technique to develop an operational flight program(OFP) of avionic system computer(ASC) which integrates the avionics control, navigation and fire control and provides informations for flight, navigation and weapon aiming missions. For the development of the OFP of ASC, two i960KB chips are used as central processing units board and standard computer interface library(SCIL) which is built in house is used. The Irvine compiler corporation(ICC) integrated development environment(IDE) and the programming language Ada95 are used for the OFP development. We designed the OFP to a computer software configuration item(CSCI) which consists of to three parts for independency of software modules. The OFP has been verified through a series of flight tests. The relevant tests also have been rigorously conducted on the OFP such as software integrated test, and ground functional test.

For the purpose of improving the accuracy of Wide Area Differential GNSS (WA-DGNSS), estimation performance of ionospheric delay error which has a great impact on GPS error sources should be enhanced. This paper applied multi-constellation GNSS which represents GPS in USA, GLONASS in Russia, and Galileo in Europe to WA-DGNSS algorithm in order to improve performance of ionospheric delay estimation. Furthermore, we conducted simulation to analyze ionospheric delay estimation performance in Korean region by increasing the number of reference stations. Consequently, using multi-constellation GNSS to improve performance of ionospheric delay estimation is more effective than increasing the number of reference stations in spite of similar number of measurements which are in use for estimation. We expect this result can contribute to improvement for ionospheric delay estimation performance of single-frequency SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) user.
