We designed a target management integration system that enables us to select the final target manually or automatically from seeker's sensor image. The integrated system was developed separately for the air vehicle system and the ground system. The air vehicle system simulates the motion dynamics and the sensor image of the air vehicle, and the ground system is composed of the target template image module and the ground control center module. The flight maneuver of the air vehicle is based on pseudo 6-degree of freedom motion equation and the proportional navigation guidance. The sensor image module was developed using the known infrared(IR) image rendering method, and was verified by comparing the rendered image to that of a commercial software. The ground control center module includes an user interface that can display as much information to meet user needs. Finally, we verified the integrated system with simulated impact target mission of the air vehicle, by confirming the final target change and the shot down result of the user's intervention.

This paper presents an integrated method for aircraft position estimation using sequential aerial images. The proposed integrated system for position estimation is composed of two parts: relative position estimation and absolute position estimation. Relative position estimation recursively computes the current position of an aircraft by accumulating relative displacement estimates extracted from two successive aerial images. Simple accumulation of parameter values decreases reliability of the extracted parameter estimates as an aircraft goes on navigating, resulting in large position error. Therefore absolute position estimation is required to compensate for the position error generated in relative position estimation. Absolute position estimation algorithms by image matching or digital elevation model (DEM) matching are presented. In image matching, a robust oriented Hausdorff measure (ROHM) is employed whereas in DEM matching an algorithm using multiple image pairs is used. Computer simulation with four real aerial image sequences shows the effectiveness of the proposed integrated position estimation algorithm.

Data processing service via internet help user to get the GNSS data processing result more precise and easily. Thus, online data process system is operated and developed by various research groups and national. But this service is difficult to use in domestic cadastral survey. In this study, we developed the online data processing system for a domestic cadastral survey. This is calculated coordinate using NGII CORS(SUWN) fiducially. And use PPP technique by GIPSY-OASIS. If user choose the observation data which want to calculate the coordinate, then is uploaded to GIPSY-OASIS server through FTP. After upload is complete, server automatically calculate coordinate, and send the report about result using e-mail. And it takes 2 minutes runtime on the basis of the 3 sessions. To verify the result, we used the data on SOUL, JUNJ as compared with notified-coordinate from NGII. As a result, got the difference for east-west 1.4 cm, north-south -1.0 cm, vertical 0.5 cm.

The international maritime organization(IMO) has defined performance requirements for future maritime navigation through IMO resolution A.915(22) in 2001. Many DGPS systems currently providing DGPS services do not meet the performance requirements specified in IMO resolution A.915(22). The use of SBAS is considered as one of the DGPS replacement and supplementary system for coping with the increase in demand performance and providing safe positioning service. In particular, since a large amount of budget is required to rearrange the existing DGPS reference stations, a method which transmits differential corrections generated by using SBAS message has been proposed. In this paper, we compare and analyze the performance of NDGPS which is operated by the National Maritime PNT Office of the ministry of oceans and fisheries(MOF) in Korea and MSAS in Japan. Also, we verify that SBAS, as alternative and complementary system, meets the performance requirement specified in IMO resolution A.915(22).

Depth of water information is obtained mainly from echo-sounding instrument which observes the round-trip time of signal from water surface to the bottom. Photogrammetry, underwater survey and laser survey etc. are also used as another method of bathymetric surveying. These methods are used specially for making track chart in a shallow water area. On the other hand, aircraft or satellite imagery ara also used in the sea area where the effect of suspended material is low and water quality is good. Presently, general bathymetric surveying has been performed in our country, but the spatial density of surveyed point are relatively low. Therefore, in this study we built a grid water depth chart which measured combing echosounder with GPS-RTK method and the depth accuracy was analyzed by using the data of direct survey water depth. As a results, the bathymatric mapping which use echosounder is more economical method compared to the existing methods.

It is proposed the new method to calculate the absolute altitude and horizontal position of worker in construction field. For this research, we used a pressure sensor, MEMS INS sensor to acquire 3D position of worker. The easiest way to show the result of this research is to use smart phone which equipped various digital sensors in this hardware. So we made two softwares: Data acquisition software in Android smart phone and Data monitoring software in PC. During this research, we encountered several kind of problems which have to be overcame. This paper shows these processes and the results of 3D positioning technologies we suggested newly.

Various studies such as INS(: Inertial Navigation System) are conducting to estimate the position of UAV, because the GPS information of UAV is at risk like the GPS jamming. The position estimation using DoA and RTT are used to apply many radar systems, and that process can be applied in datalink of UAV. The general monopulse feed in UAV datalink is Multi-horn, because of the wide BW(: Band Width) and frequency range. And it needs wide SNR range of tracking because of the limited transmit power of airborne unit. The estimation error of position increase at low SNR, and the DoA is valid in only 3dB beam width but high SNR causes false of mainlobe detection because of large sidelobe. In this paper, We propose the method to achieve higher accuracy of DoA estimation on low SNR and review some idea that able to detect mainlobe.

In this paper we propose a multi-protocol gateway system based on low power wireless communications. The proposed multi-protocol gateway system was designed to allow real-time monitoring and control of the on-site situation through wired and wireless networks by gathering information for streetlight power control and environmental monitoring. The sensing data using multi-sensors with composite processing that selectively used wired or wireless communication (e.g., CDMA, Ethernet (TCP/IP), GPS, etc.) were designed to act as intermediaries that transmitted to the main server through ZigBee. Inaddition, they were designed by separating a CPU board and baseboard to ensure low maintenance cost and ease of hardware replacement. The proposed multi-protocol gateway system's power, impact, continuous operation stability, and immunity test results obtained a normal operation success rate of over 95% and normal continuous operation results. Moreover, in the voltage drop test, instantaneous immunity test, and conductive RF electromagnetic field immunity test, it obtained an average rating result of "A".

Wide area differential GNSS(WA-DGNSS) collects GPS measurements from the several reference stations and estimates 3-D satellite orbit error, satellite clock error, ionospheric delay. These correction messages are broadcasted to user, then user can have more accurate and reliable position estimates. The performance of WA-DGPS can be changed depending on the position of reference stations. To select proper reference stations, performance analysis with the change of reference stations is necessary. In this paper, changing the geographical location of reference stations, we carried out simulation based test and show the performance of WA-DGNSS in Korea.

Precision guidance filter design for a tactical missile with a strapdown seeker aided by low-cost strapdown sensors has been addressed in this paper. The low-cost strapdown sensors consist of an IMU with 3-axis accelerometers and gyroscopes, 3-axis magnetometers, and a barometer. Missile's position, velocity, attitude, and bias error of the barometer are considered as state variables. Since the state and measurement equations are highly nonlinear, we adopt UKF(Unscented Kalman Filter). The proposed guidance filter has a function of a navigation filter if target position error is not considered. In the case that the target position error is introduced, the proposed filter can effectively estimate the relative states of the missile to the true target. For specific engagement scenarios, we can observe that observability problems occur.
