  • This study presents the generation and accuracy assessment of predicted orbital ephemeris based on satellite laser ranging (SLR) for geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) satellites. Two GEO satellites are considered: GEO-Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT)-2B (GK-2B) for simulational validation and Compass-G1 for real-world quality assessment. SLR-based orbit determination (OD) is proactively performed to generate orbital ephemeris. The length and the gap of the predicted orbital ephemeris were set by considering the consolidated prediction format (CPF). The resultant predicted ephemeris of GK-2B is directly compared with a pre-specified true orbit to show 17.461 m and 23.978 m, in 3D root-mean-square (RMS) position error and maximum position error for one day, respectively. The predicted ephemeris of Compass-G1 is overlapped with the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) final orbit from the GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ) analysis center (AC) to yield 36.760 m in 3D RMS position differences. It is also compared with the CPF orbit from the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) to present 109.888 m in 3D RMS position differences. These results imply that SLR-based orbital ephemeris can be an alternative candidate for improving the accuracy of commonly used radar-based orbital ephemeris for GEO satellites.

  • Experiments using real guided weapons for the development of the LADAR(Laser radar) are not practical. Therefore, we need computing environment that can simulate the 3D detections by LADAR. Such simulations require dealing with large sized data representing buildings and terrain over large area. And they also need the information of 3D target objects, for example, material and echo rate of building walls. However, currently used 3D models are mostly focused on visualization maintained as file-based formats and do not contain such semantic information. In this study, as a solution to these problems, a method to use a spatial DBMS and a 3D model suitable for LADAR simulation is suggested. The 3D models found in previous studies are developed to serve different purposes, thus, it is not easy to choose one among them which is optimized for LADAR simulation. In this study, 4 representative 3D models are first defined, each of which are tested for different performance scenarios. As a result, one model, "Body-Face", is selected as being the most suitable model for the simulation. Using this model, a test simulation is carried out.

  • Foreign object debris (FOD) is a generic term for all substances that may pose a threat to aircraft operations on a runway. In the past, FOD detection and collection methods using human resources were very inefficient in terms of efficiency and economics, so it is essential to develop an unmanned FOD detection system suitable for domestic use. In this paper, the fixed FOD automatic detection system and mobile FOD automatic detection system using EO camera and radar were studied and developed at the Taean airfield of Hanseo University, and fixed and mobile method were operated to confirm that automatic FOD detection in the runway of the airfield is possible regardless of illumination and weather conditions.

  • 정확하게 control된 pulse의 용도는 과학과 공업이 발달될수록 날로 많아져 가고 있는데 그의 일부는 대전력을 취급하는 경우로서, Radar에 대한 응용을 들 수 있다. 한편, 요지음 gallium-arsenide등 반도체 diode를 사용해서 Laser action을 일으킬 수 있다는것이 발견되어 G.E. 및 IBM등에서 개발되고 있다. 이 경우에, continuous emission도 가능하지만 흔히, intermittent operation을 시켜야 할 때가 많기 때문에 timed pulse source가 필요하게 된다. 또 한편, spot welding의 경우에도 이러한 pulse source가 필요하게 된다. 이들을 크게 나누어 source를 AC로 할 경우와 DC로 할 경우가 있는데, 전자의 경우는 thyratron을 사용할 경우가 많게 될 것이다. DC의 경우나 AC의 경우에나 잘 shape되고 time된 pulse source를 만들어 놓으면 진공관이나 thyratron이나 같은 모양으로 drive할 수 (thyratron의 경우는 trigger)있을 것이기 때문에, 이러한 pulse source를 만들 필요가 있게 된다.

  • Up to the present information processing has been studied in the field of radar and electrical communication. However, recently photographic images have been sent and received a laser communication system. This paper is an attempt to discuss a method of information transmittance accomplished by holography. The results of experiment show that two-dimensional photographic images at the output appear with spots and when the degree of intensity of the images produced reach a frequency plane to move towards 40-60.mu., they show a finer effect.

  • The goal of this study is to determine which is the better bomb; a general purpose bomb or a special bomb, from the point of view of cost-effectiveness of air munitions. What we call the special bomb is a laser guided bomb which adds a guidance control unit on the head of a general purpose bomb. Althrough their characteristics of explosion are the same, their effectivenesses are very defferent due to their probability of hitting the targets. Now, in order to measure their relative a effectiveness, we could select various enemy targets such as runway, radar, and then Ive could also calculate requirments of both bombs and firghter aircraft sorties according to the desired damage level of each target, Following above steps, we can derive the total costs and compare effectiveness. As a results of this study, when the attrition rate of aircraft is under $1.1\%$, the general purpose bomb is better than the laser guided bomb. Above $1.1\%$ attrition rate, we could say that luser guided bomb is the most economical bomb.

  • This paper presents the design and simulation of a three-dimensional pixel-by-pixel scanning light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system with a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) scanning mirror and direct sequence optical code division multiple access (DS-OCDMA) techniques. It measures a frame with $848{\times}480$ pixels at a refresh rate of 60 fps. The emitted laser pulse waves of each pixel are coded with DS-OCDMA techniques. The coded laser pulse waves include the pixel's position in the frame, and a checksum. The LIDAR emits the coded laser pulse waves periodically, without idle listening time to receive returning light at the receiver. The MEMS scanning mirror is used to deflect and steer the coded laser pulse waves to a specific target point. When all the pixels in a frame have been processed, the travel time is used by the pixel-by-pixel scanning LIDAR to generate point cloud data as the measured result.

  • Foreign object debris (FOD) is a generic term for various metals and non-metal foreign object and materials with potential hazards to aircraft operations. Since the method of manual FOD detection and collection in the aircraft moving area is very low in efficiency and economic efficiency, it is essential to develop to FOD automatic detection system suitable for domestic environment. This paper is the result of the performance comparison test results of the two systems for the combined operation of each optimal detection time and 95% accuracy above 100 m for complex operation using the fixed FOD automatic detection system and the mobile FOD system using EO/IR camera and radar at Taean Airfield Hanseo University. It is expected that FOD can be performed unattended through continuous R & D.
