  • In the 21st century, it is highly required to develop a better security management system to prevent many severe accidents occurred in the sea because it has been growing both size and importance for industries and global business which are heavily related to the sea. In this paper, we proposed a new theoretical criteria for three core decisions to make for SAR(search and rescue). These are three decisions for search scope, search assets, and search duration. We first brought up several issues and problems of current SAR system, and then studies all related factors of these three decisions for SAR operations. This paper provides a theoretical foundation of SAR operations by applying a theoretical approach and reasonable standards.

  • More than 42 000 fires occur nationwide and cause over 2500 casualties every year. There is a lack of specialized equipment, and rescue operations are conducted with a minimal number of apparatuses. Through-the-wall radars (TTWRs) can improve the rescue efficiency, particularly under limited visibility due to smoke, walls, and collapsed debris. To overcome detection challenges and maintain a small-form factor, a TTWR system-on-chip (SoC) and its architecture have been proposed. Additive reception based on coherent clocks and reconfigurability can fulfill the TTWR demands. A clock-based single-chip infrared radar transceiver with embedded control logic is implemented using a 130-nm complementary metal oxide semiconductor. Clock signals drive the radar operation. Signal-to-noise ratio enhancements are achieved using the repetitive coherent clock schemes. The hand-held prototype radar that uses the TTWR SoC operates in real time, allowing seamless data capture, processing, and display of the target information. The prototype is tested under various pseudo-disaster conditions. The test standards and methods, developed along with the system, are also presented.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a self triage application for rescue requests by disaster vulnerable populations. Literature was reviewed in order to define application trends and needs. Methods: Development of the self triage application was conducted in six stages as a hybrid model (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation, modification) of the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model and Driscoll & Alexander model. Application system function and contents were tried with 6 experts and 4 people with hearing impairments. Results: Expert assessment of the application for self triage showed that reliability at 5 points was the highest, followed by utility at 4.8 points. Scores for quickness and expressiveness were low at 4.6 and 4.2 points respectively. User acceptability assessment of the application was measured at 66.73 points. Conclusion: The results show that the application for self triage is helpful to disaster vulnerable populations by providing relief in disaster situations. It is expected that use of this application as a self rescue ability can be made available for disaster situations. However, it will be necessary to establish policies for communication strategies with rescuers and public relations to improve the access rate of disaster app service.

  • This paper proposes functional test methods of first-aid gadgets which are special end-effectors, for relief robot. In recent years, researches have been actively conducted on robots that can perform rescue operations on behalf of rescue workers in dangerous areas such as disasters and wars. These special robots mainly perform the task of finding or transporting injured people. However, it is sometimes they necessary to provide first aid in the field. Among the various first-aid operations, gadgets are being developed for oxygen supply, injection, and hemostasis operations that can be used in a defense/civilian area by using robot technology. Previous studies have proposed first-aid gadgets that are suitable for onsite situations and enable robots to perform the given task quickly and accurately. In this paper, we design a test procedure suitable for the functions of first-aid gadgets, summarize the results, and introduce future research directions.

  • Hydraulic systems are widely used in the field of defense, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, and general industries, due to various advantages such as quick response speed and precision control. The defense equipments such as light rescue vehicle is operated in very harsh environments, so hydraulic components used in defense equipment are required to have very high reliability. In particular, hydraulic piston pump is very important component in a hydraulic systems, so life prediction of pump is essential. Therefore, in this study, we analyze the potential failure and the main failure mode of the hydraulic piston pump for the light rescue vehicle through the FMEA analysis, and predict the life of the pump by the accelerated life test considering the usage conditions.

  • The model for ship maneuvering simulation is to enhance the competence of officer's ship maneuvering skills such as navigation equipment operation, collision avoidances, countermeasure an emergency situation so on. Despite using such ship maneuvering model, critical maritime accidents are occurred periodically in the world. To find adequate simulation model to evaluate competence abilities of deck officer who have maneuvering skills with some competence levels, we search the standard ship maneuvering method representing on the part 3 Person Overboard(POB) to onboard emergences of IAMSAR manual. Moreover we monitor the officer's human factors appearing during education and training and consider the use of human factors as fundamental data.

  • The performance of navigational equipments is advanced, but the importance of the practical capability of bridge device by ship's officer, ie the ability of risk prediction and the obligation of avoidance for reducing sea accident, has been constantly augmenting. This abilities and obligation may be represented in the cognitive competence of navigational officer. Different levels of ship's bridge team was carried out rescue maneuvering by ship handling simulator and then it analyzed the resulting of initial response in cognitive progress by case based on trajectory. Further, the data will be used as training and evaluation model of cognitive situation.
