In order to achieve success in ground operations, searching for moving targets is one of critical factors. Usually, the system of searching for adversary ground moving targets has complex properties which includes target's moving characteristics, camouflage level, terrain, weather, available search time window, distance between target and searcher, moving speed, target's tactics, etc. The purpose of this paper is to present a practical quantitative method for effectively searching for infiltrated moving targets considering aforementioned complex properties. Based upon search theories, this paper consists of two parts. One is infiltration route analysis, through terrain and mobility analysis. The other is building dynamic probability maps through Monte Carlo simulation to determine the prioritized searching area for moving targets. This study primarily considers ground moving targets' moving pattern. These move by foot and because terrain has a great effect on the target's movement, they generally travel along a constrained path. With the ideas based on the terrain's effect, this study deliberately performed terrain and mobility analysis and built a constrained path. In addition, dynamic probability maps taking terrain condition and a target's moving speed into consideration is proposed. This analysis is considerably distinct from other existing studies using supposed transition probability for searching moving targets. A case study is performed to validate the effectiveness and usefulness of our methodology. Also, this study suggests that the proposed approach can be used for searching for infiltrated ground moving target within critical time window. The proposed method could be used not only to assist a searcher's mission planning, but also to support the tactical commander's timely decision making ability and ensure the operations' success.

SAR를 이용한 지상이동물체탐지(GMTI)는 SAR의 주요 활용 기술 중 하나이다. 최근 위성 탑재 SAR 시스템의 해상도가 높아지면서 지상이동목표물 탐지의 유용성은 더욱 강조되고 있다. 현재까지 다양한 지상이동물체탐지 기법이 개발되었으나 대부분은 다중채널 SAR 시스템을 이용하는 기술에 집중되었다. 그러나, 아직도 단일채널 SAR 영상으로부터 지상 이동물체를 탐지하는 것은 매우 어려운 문제로 남아 있는 반면 다중채널 위성 탑재 SAR 시스템은 아직은 그 활용이 현실적으로 매우 제한적인 상황이다. 일단 지상의 목표물이 탐지되고 이동속도가 3 m/s(약 10.8 km/h) 이상인 경우 그 목표물의 이동속도는 단일채널 SAR 자료라도 오차범위 약 5%의 정밀도로 복원 가능하다. 따라서 단일채널 SAR 자료로부터 지상의 이동물체 자체를 탐지하는 것이 핵심이며, 이 논문에서는 SAR Single-Look Complex(SLC) 영상자료에 미분을 적용하여 쉽고 빠르게 탐지하는 방법을 제시한다. 이 논문에서는 SAR SLC 자료의 미분 값은 도플러 중심주파수를 나타냄을 유도하고, 따라서 미분 값은 지상이동물체 탐지에 매우 효과적임을 설명하고자 한다. 이 논문에서 제시하는 미분 방법의 결과와 정밀한 속도복원 방법의 상관계수 $R^2$ 는 0.62로 나타났으며, 이는 이동물체를 탐지하는 데는 충분함을 지시한다. 이 방법은 매우 단순한 미분으로 도플러 중심주파수 분석에 근거하고 있으나 최종 자료처리에 앞서 도플러 경사도를 제거해야 하며, 적용결과의 효율성과 신뢰도는 이 도플러 경사도 제거 과정에 크게 좌우된다. 지상에 모서리 산란체를 탑재하고 이동속도를 조절한 실험용 차량과 이를 관측한 TerraSAR-X SLC 자료를 이용하여 검증을 실시하였다. 검증결과 지상 이동물체를 매우 쉽게 탐지하면서도 정지된 상태의 강한 산란체는 약 18.5 dB의 신호파워를 줄여 효과적으로 제거 하는 것으로 나타났다. 현재 이 방법은 지상의 이동속도 8.8 km/h 이상인 경우 매우 효과적이며, 아리랑-5호를 비롯한 모든 단일채널 SAR 시스템에 적용 가능하다.

In tactical theater, it is crucial to detect ground moving targets and to locate them precisely. This problem can be resolved by using SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) sensors providing GMTI (Ground Moving Target Indication) capability. In general, to implement a robust GMTI sensor is not simple because of the strong competitions between target signals and clutter signals on the ground, and low speed of moving targets. Contrary to the case that a delay canceller is mostly suitable for ground surveillance radars, DPCA (Displaced Phase Centered Antenna) or STAP (Space Time Adaptive Processing) techniques have been adapted for GMT! function of modem airborne radars. In this paper, anew scheme of DPCA using two passive antennas with vertical separation is proposed, which also provides good clutter cancellation performance. The proposed scheme enables us to scan straight ahead of the carrying platform that is impossible with typical DPCA configuration. Simulations using various conditions have been performed to validate the proposed scheme, and the results are acceptable.

This problem can be resolved by using SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) sensors providing GMTI (Ground Moving Target Indication) capability. In general, to implement a robust GMTI sensor is not simple because of the strong competitions between target signals and clutter signals from the ground, and low speed of moving targets. Contrary to the case that a delay canceller is mostly suitable for ground surveillance radars, DPCA (Displaced Phase Centered Antenna) or STAP (Space Time Adaptive Processing) techniques have been widely adapted for GMTI function of modern airborne radars. In this paper, a new scheme of DPCA using two passive antennas with vertical separation is proposed, which also provides good clutter cancellation performance. The proposed scheme realizes full azimuth coverage for DPCA operation on an airborne platform, which is impossible with classical DPCA configuration. Simulations using various conditions have been performed to validate the proposed scheme, and the results are acceptable.

Spaceborne sparse array radar for ground moving targets indication (GMTI) has outstanding advantage over full array radar for constructing ultra-large aperture. Rapid development of millimeter wave (MMW) technology make it possible for realizing MMW GMTI radar, which is much more sensitive to slow moving ground target. The paper presented the system model of a multi-carrier frequency sparse array MMW radar as well as preliminary simulation results, which showed future application of the system is very promising.

This paper reports a sliding window filtering approach for ground moving targets with cross-correlated sensor noise and uncertainty. In addition, the effect of uncertain parameters during a tracking error on the model performance is considered. A distributed fusion sliding window filter is also proposed. The distributed fusion filtering algorithm represents the optimal linear combination of local filters under the minimum mean-square error criterion. The derivation of the error cross-covariances between the local sliding window filters is the key to the proposed method. Simulation results of the motion of the ground moving target a demonstrate high accuracy and computational efficiency of the distributed fusion sliding window filter.

The potential use of ranging sensors for reducing the occurrence of accidents in real environment is explored by many companies and laboratories. Most of the sensors under investigation utilize the FMCW(Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) waveforms. The automotive environment presents to the FMCW radar sensor a multitude of moving and fixed targets and the sensor must detect and track only the targets which may pose a threat of collision or passengers accident. The sensor must function accurately in the presence of background echoes generated by moving and fixed targets, ground reflections, atmospheric noises, including rains, fog, and, snow and noise generated within the receiver. False detection of the desired target in this environment may issue false alarms. That may be dangerous to the passenger and the vehicle. A high false alarm rate is totally unacceptable. The false alarm mechanism consists of noise peaks, crossing the threshold and the undesired response of the system to off lane targets which are not potentially hazardous to the radar equipped vehicle. This paper presents an improve technique safety performance for driver-less operation using FMCW radar sensors.

Semi-active laser missile systems with high accuracy are necessary to asymmetric threats, such as UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). They are usually used to attack stationary or slow moving targets, therefore we should study on the laser designator which can detect and track fast moving targets in order to deal with UAV. In this study, design specifications are came up through performance analysis of existing laser designators, and laser designation method for fast moving target is developed. The detection and tracking performance of developed laser designator are verified through inside/outside tests on ground/aerial stationary/moving targets. Through this study, we obtain laser designator techniques that could be applied to actual semi-active laser missile systems.

본 논문에서는 지상 이동 표적의 SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) 영상 형성 과정에서 표적의 움직임에 의해 발생하는 SAR 영상의 왜곡 현상을 보상하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 일반적인 SAR 영상 형성 알고리즘은 고정 표적과 레이다 플랫폼 사이의 거리 변화를 보상함으로써 왜곡 없는 SAR 영상을 형성하지만, 이동 표적의 경우, 표적의 움직임에 의해 야기된 추가적인 거리 변화가 왜곡된 SAR 영상을 형성한다. 본 논문에서는 지상 이동 표적의 기하학적 위치 및 움직임이 SAR 영상에 야기하는 왜곡 현상을 분석하고, SAR-ATI(SAR-Along-Trck Interferometry)와 위상 정렬 기법을 이용해 기 왜곡 현상을 야기하는 표적의 모든 변수들을 추정하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 최종적으로 본 논문에서는 잡음이 존재하는 환경에서 모의시험을 수행해 제안된 기법의 효용성을 증명한다.
