본 논문에서는 소형무인항공기용 이동표적 표시기법(MTI, Moving Target Indication)에 대한 기술 동향분석을 하였다. MTI는 크게 이미지 정렬과 차영상 오류보정 단계로 구성되는데 이중 이미지 정렬 기법에는 매개변수방식과 비매개변수방식이 있으며 본 논문에서는 매개변수방식을 사용한 이용한 MTI에 초점을 맞췄다. 소형무인항공기의 경우, 저고도 운용에 의한 시차문제가 발생하는데 이를 보정하기 위해서 등극기하학이 사용된다. MTI의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 관련기법들도 살펴보았으며 향후 발전방향을 제시하였다.

This paper addresses a Moving Target Indication (MTI) algorithm which can be used for small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with image sensors. MTI is a system (or an algorithm) which detects moving objects. The principle of the MTI algorithm is to analyze the difference between successive image data. It is difficult to detect moving objects in the images recorded from dynamic cameras attached to moving platforms such as UAVs flying at low altitudes over a variety of terrain, since the acquired images have two motion components: 'camera motion' and 'object motion'. Therefore, the motion of independent objects can be obtained after the camera motion is compensated thoroughly via proper manipulations. In this study, the camera motion effects are removed by using wiener filter-based image registration, one of the non-parametric methods. In addition, an image pyramid structure is adopted to reduce the computational complexity for UAVs. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method with experimental results on outdoor video sequences.

GMTI (Ground Moving Target Indication) 레이다 시스템은 항공기와 위성과 같이 이동하는 플랫폼에 탑재되어 지상에서 이동하는 표적을 탐지하고, 그 표적의 위치와 속도 정보를 제공하기 때문에 결과에 해당하는 표적의 위치 정확도가 중요하다. 그러나 안테나 혹은 김발 자체의 지향 정확도, EGI 자이로 센서와 하우징 간의 정렬 오차, EGI 정렬치구의 공차 등의 기계적 오차와 측정 센서 등에서 발생하는 전기적 오차로 인해 표적의 위치 결과에서 방위각 오차가 발생할 수 있다는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 경우, 모노펄스 기울기(Monopulse ratio) 정보가 아무리 정확하더라도 표적의 방위각 정확도가 저하된다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 발생한 표적의 위치 오차를 보정하기 위해 모노펄스 레이다 시스템으로부터 수신한 합/차 신호를 이용하여 표적의 방위각 오차를 추정하고 그 위치를 보상하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안한 방법은 하드웨어 변경 없이 소프트웨어적으로 구현이 간단하지만 다양한 환경에서 적응적으로 사용할 수 있어 보다 정확한 표적 위치 정보를 획득할 수 있다는 장점이 있다.

The Network-Centric warfare over weapon data link networks has been developed for the recent decade. Since the US navy had begun to develop tactical digital information chain, it has gradually transformed into weapon data link technology. As data link network system and its protocol have been advanced into high-technology, focusing and targeting on moving targets become possible in net-enabled environments. However, it is difficult to identify the primary information from numerous battlefields and understanding approaches to damage a target in a timely manner. In this paper, to better understand the targeting assessment, we suggest a specific solution: Bomb Hit Indication(BHI) using information in weapon data link messages. In order to prove our suggestion, we implement the BHI solution and apply it into the weapon data link integrating system.

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.

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.

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.

In this paper, we have identified the system instability factors in a bistatic radar system using pulse chasing and considered their effects on the bistatic receiver's MTI(Moving Target Indication) improvement performance. The pulse chasing is a method to efficiently scan a restricted search area within the limited transmitter power and time in a bistatic radar and to track a series of transmitted pulses using the receiver beam which has ideally matched to the pulse propagation rate. In this paper, we have discussed the interrelationship between the pulse chasing and time and frequency/phase synchronization and described the effects of the identified system instability factors on two kinds of MTI filter configuration, single delay-line and double delay-line, in the bistatic radar. And also, we have confirmed that the overall system improvement is restricted by a lower improvement factor among identified them, and discussed the allowable tolerance of the time and frequency/phase synchronization in the bistatic system.

The Ground Moving Target Indication(GMTI) technique can detect the moving targets on land using its Doppler returns. Also, the GMTI system can work in night regardless of the weather condition because it is an active sensor that uses the electromagnetic waves as its source. In order to develop the GMTI system, Constant False Alarm Rate(CFAR) threshold optimization is important because the main performances like detection probability, false alarm rate and Minimum Detectable Velocity(MDV) are related deeply with CFAR threshold. These key variables are used to calculate CFAR threshold and then trade-off between the variables is performed. In this paper, CFAR threshold optimization procedures are introduced, and the optimization results are demonstrated.
