  • This paper introduces a graphical user interface design that is aimed to apply to the surveillance and security robot, which is the pilot program for the army unmanned light combat vehicle. It is essential to consider the activities of robot users under the changing security environment in order to design the efficient graphical user interface between user and robot to accomplish the designated mission. The proposed design approach firstly identifies the user activities to accomplish the mission in the standardized scenarios of military surveillance and security operation and then develops the hierarchy of the interface elements that are required to execute the tasks in the surveillance and security scenarios. The developed graphical user interface includes input control component, navigation component, information display component, and accordion and verified by the potential users from the various skilled levels with the military background. The assessment said that the newly developed user interface includes all the critical elements to execute the mission and is simpler and more intuitive compared to the legacy interface design that was more focused on the technical and functional information and informative to the system developing engineers rather than field users.

  • In this paper, we propose a group key management scheme for very high confidential information in tactical wireless networks. For the proposed scheme, we consider the tactical networks that has a hierarchical topology and the nature of high confidential information. The leader node, which may have higher probability of good channel state than others, provides some data to all the network member in order to generate a geographical group key and it transmits the encrypted information with minimum transmission power level to others. By this scheme, the security and reliability for sharing confidential information is ensured. The performance of the proposed scheme is validated by mathematical analysis. It shows that the proposed scheme makes nodes to share a high confidential information securely if the proper parameters for network design are selected.

  • The amount and diversity of information is increasing, as is the information integration connecting data among the related institutions. In the defense field, DTAQ, which is in charge of the quality of military supplies, is attempting to collect and analyze the information which is related with it. In addition, the object of information integration is to expand civil data as well as defense data. There are many ways to integrate data in various environments. In the defense field, which needs enhanced security, it is necessary to establish and apply the information integration methods which are enhanced with more security. In this study, the framework and architecture of information integration was designed by considering task requirements and security conditions. As a result of example application of this framework for information systems to the selected 4 institutions, it was confirmed that the task can be performed through data connections. From the study result, integration architecture which can be applied securely in defense field was suggested. The data accumulated by using this framework with strengthened security are expected to be utilized for the quality improvement of military supplies.

  • 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 shipboard combat system is a key system for naval combat that supports a command and control process cycle consisting of Detect - Control - Engage in real time to ensure ship viability and conduct combat missions. Modern combat systems were developed on the basis of Open Architecture(OA) to maximize acceptance of latest technology and interoperability between systems, and actively introduced the COTS(Commercial-of-the-shelf). However, as a result of that, vulnerabilities inherent in COTS SW and HW also occurred in the combat system. The importance of combat system cybersecurity is being emphasized but cybersecurity research reflecting the characteristics of the combat system is still lacking in Korea. Therefore, in this paper, we systematically identify combat system threats by applying Data Flow Diagram, Microsoft STRIDE threat modelling methodology. The threats were analyzed using the Attack Tree & Misuse case. Finally we derived the applicable security requirements which can be used at stages of planning and designing combat system and verified security requirements through NIST 800-53 security control items.

  • EEG is an electrical signal, which occurs during information processing in the brain. These EEG signals have been used clinically, but nowadays we are mainly studying Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) such as interfacing with a computer through the EEG, controlling the machine through the EEG. The ultimate purpose of BCI study is specifying the EEG at various mental states so as to control the computer and machine. This research makes the controlling system of directions with the artifact that are generated from the subject's will, for the purpose of controlling the machine correctly and reliably. We made the system like this. First, we select the particular artifact among the EEG mixed with artifact, then, recognize and classify the signals' pattern, then, change the signals to general signals that can be used by the controlling system of directions.

  • The most important factors of Electronic approval system of battle management system are availability and reliability. Therefore, the electronic approval system uses a SAN(storage area network) to construct the reliable server and storage. In this paper, we analyze the security vulnerabilities of the SAN storage that stores the critical military information in the electronic approval system of battle management system. Based on the analysis, we verify the possibility of information leakage by the inside attackers through the scenario-based experiment. And we finally propose a new storage encryption algorithm on the basis of user's role that can prevent the leakage of information by the inside attackers.

  • Recently, with the rapid development of video equipment and technology, tremendous video information is produced and utilized in military domain to acquire battlefield information or for effective command control. Note that the video playback devices currently used in the military domain ranges from low-performance tactical multi-functional terminals (TMFT) to high-performance video servers and the networks where the video information is transmitted also range from the low speed tactical information and communication network (TICN) to ultra-high speed defense broadband converged networks such as M-BcN. Therefore, there is a need for an efficient streaming technique that can efficiently transmit defense video information in heterogeneous communication equipment and network environments. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a Scalable Video Coding (SVC) and balanced selection algorithm based Peer-to-Peer (P2P) streaming technique and the feasibility of the proposed technique is verified by simulations. The simulation results based on our BitTorrent simulator show that the proposed balanced selection scheme outperforms the sequential or rarest selection algorithm.
