In this paper, we propose an architecture design of military operation system utilizing cellular networks. The main contribution of this paper is to provide a cost-effective military operation solution for ground forces, which is based on IT(information technology). By employing the cellular phones of officers' and non-commissioned officers' as the tools of operational communication, the proposed system can be constructed in the minimum duration and be built on the four components: command and control system, gateway, security system, and terminal(cell phone). This system is most effective for the warfare of limited area, but the effectiveness does not decrease under the total war covering the whole land of Korea. For the environmental change of near future, expanded architecture is also provided to utilize the functionalities of smart phones.

The needs in terms of wireless communications are growing up both for civil and military applications. Therefore a constant improvement of this technology is required to meet customer wishes. One of its main shortcomings is the inefficient use of the spectrum in which a large part of the allocated bands of frequencies is unused. Since communication is crucial, spectrum shortage problems can lead a multi-national and coalition operation to failure. Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) are a promising technology which continuously analyses the spectrum searching for available frequencies. It can solve this spectrum issue by avoiding interferences, improving system-wide spectral efficiency, robustness to dynamic conditions and allowing more spectrum flexibility This paper specifically analyzed and presented the application of the CRNs in the military operational environment, and presented the appropriate method applicable to each actual operational situation.

A direction finding system test-bed(DFSTB) at the electronic warfare communication-band is presented to efficiently evaluate and optimize the performance of the direction finding system through the indoor test setup. This test-bed gives a significant benefit to the designers of the direction finding system because it allows flexible test and design trade-off in the system design cycle. The system description and implementation of test-bed architecture, and the experiment results of direction finding accuracy according to modulation schemes are presented.

This paper proposes a new system to maximize efficiency of Air Base Protection Operations through the development of location identification software. The Wibro-based location identification system for Air Base Protection Force offers Blue Ground Force digitalized character message which is not exposed to enemy. Also, it is possible to automatically provide the location of Blue Ground Force to Air Base Ground Operations Center. The test result proves that this system is very helpful when Air Base Protection Force executes Air Base Protection Operations.

In this paper, we analyze co-channel interference cancellation performance to be generated in multi-hop military communication system. First, remove interference using zero-forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) scheme as interference cancellation methods, and then obtain additional diversity gain and improve interference cancellation performance by applying successive interference cancellation (SIC). We consider Rayleigh fading channel and system performance is analyzed as respect of bit error probability. From simulation results, we confirm MMSE improves significantly BER performance than ZF in multi-hop wireless network environment. It is also confirmed ZF and MMSE schemes applying SIC algorithm have better performance comparing to the existing schemes. Therefore, MMSE-SIC method can provide more reliable signal transmission in the multi-hop military communication system.

The Korean Military Satellite Communication System (KMILSATCOM) is composed of military payload of KOREASAT 5 and military satellite terminals. The military satellite terminals communicate with each other in satellite service area. The satellite terminal management system is developed for centralized management of satellite terminals and communications link. The satellite terminal management system dose not use terrestrial networks (i.e. Fiber optic, Microwave) for management because the KMILSATCOM is system for emergency (i.e. war time) and the satellite terminals has to move to operational area, so the management link must use satellite link. The management link is composed of 1 to N communication scheme for one manager and multiple terminals. This paper describes the satellite terminal management protocol architecture and the performance of the protocol of the KMILSATCOM system.

Korean military is developing the next generation military satellite communications system in order to achieve the requirements of future military satellite communication such as high speed, high capacity, survivability, all IP networking, and on-the-move. In this paper, we survey and analyze the research interests about optimal resource allocation and IP networking such as MF-TDMA, random access, satellite IP routing, and PEP. Conventional researches have focused on the increase in channel throughput and efficiency. In addition to these measurements, we consider heterogeneous satellite terminals, full mesh topology, distributed network, anti-jamming, and the like which are the special characteristics of the next generation military satellite communications system. Based on this, we present key research issues and evaluation on the issues by simulation.

In this paper, a novel IFF(Identification of Friend and Foe) landmine system has been designed and fabricated using RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) wireless communication system. The IFF landmine system is composed of RECOMS(Remote Controlled Munition System), RFID reader and RFID tag. When the friendly forces have been identified by RFID wireless communication, the IFF landmine is unloaded automatically and indicates the warning message to the operator. Through the discussion, the detailed designs and the test results of identification distance have been described and antenna revision plans for improving the performance have been mentioned.

A frequency assignment problem on time division duplex system is considered. Republic of Korea Army (ROKA) has been establishing an infrastructure of tactical communication (SPIDER) system for next generation and it will be a core network structure of system. VHF system is the backbone network of SPIDER, that performs transmission of data such as voice, text and images. So, it is a significant problem finding the frequency assignment with no interference under very restricted resource environment. With a given arbitrary configuration of communications network, we find a feasible solution that guarantees communication without interference between sites and relay stations. We formulate a frequency assignment problem as an Integer Programming model, which has NP-hard complexity. To find the assignment results within a reasonable time, we take a genetic algorithm approach which represents the solution structure with available frequency order, and develop a genetic operation strategies. Computational result shows that the network configuration of SPIDER can be solved efficiently within a very short time.
