Since the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) may not provide navigation information due to external interferences, many countries have plans to prepare a backup system for this situation. One of the possible GNSS backup systems is a multiple radio positioning integration system in combination with the terrestrial radio navigation system. Before constructing such a GNSS backup system, M&S software is needed to analyze if the system satisfies the performance the required navigation performance. This study presents requirements of M&S software for coverage analysis of the navigation system, and proposes an M&S software design scheme on the basis of the requirements. The M&S software is implemented, and coverage analysis is performed to verify the validity of the proposed design scheme.

As the importance and dependency of the positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) information provided by the radio navigation satellite service (RNSS) increases, the vulnerability of RNSS to jamming can lead to significant risks. The signal design under the consideration of anti-jamming performance helps to provide service which is robust to jamming environment. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the jamming robustness performance during the design of new signals. In this paper, we introduce figures-of-merit (FoMs) that can be used for an anti-jamming performance analysis of designed signals of interest. We then calculate the FoMs, such as the quality factor (Q factor), tolerable jamming-to-signal ratio (tolerable J/S), and range to jammer (d) for legacy RNSS signals and analyze the results. Finally, based on the results of the analysis, we derive waveform design conditions to obtain good anti-jamming performance. As a result, this paper shows that the waveforms with wide bandwidth leading to good spectral efficiency provide strong anti-jamming performance.

This paper presents the analysis results of navigation performance of Korea Augmentation Satellite System (KASS) test signals. Performance analysis was performed with Global Positioning System (GPS) and Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) signals received from 7 KASS reference stations. And the performances were analyzed in terms of the signal strength, statistics for each SBAS message, coverage of ionospheric correction, accuracy, integrity, continuity, and availability. In addition, the navigation solutions provided by commercial receiver was analyzed and the performance experienced by general users was presented. Lastly, directions for further improvement of the KASS system were addressed. These performance analysis results can be used to confirm the feasibility of utilizing KASS in user applications.

항행안전무선시설은 전파를 이용하여 항공기 안전운항에 필요한 정보를 제공하는 매우 중요한 요소이다. 최근 전파를 이용하는 무선시설이 크게 늘어남으로써 인접채널에 의한 항공주파수 전파방해 가능성은 매우 커지고 있다. 뿐만 아니라, 항행안전시설을 위협하는 불규칙한 전파방해 및 인공위성을 활용하는 위성항행시스템 주파수 사용이 급증하고 있어 항공전파 안전성 확보가 시급하다. 본 논문에서는 국내 항행시스템의 종류별 특성과 주파수를 조사하였고, 분석 프로그램 개발을 위하여 국내외 지리적 분리간격 기준을 분석하였다. 또한, 항행안전시설 설치 시 인접시설에 영향이 없도록 국제규정을 적용한 항행안전무선시설의 지리적분리간격 분석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 본 분석 프로그램은 운영현황 표시 기능, 신설시 지리적 분리 시뮬레이션 기능, 미부합 시 조치방안 제안 기능 등을 제공한다.

This paper theoretically analyzes the effect of the velocity and attitude errors of Master Inertial Navigation System(MINS) on the accuracy of Slave Inertial Navigation System(SINS) transfer alignment in velocity and attitude matching, and validates the analysis through simulation. Theoretical analysis involves deriving a new state equation that considers the velocity and attitude errors of MINS from the state equation of the transfer alignment filter, and deriving the state estimation equation of the Kalman filter based on this. The analysis confirms that MINS's velocity and attitude errors induce the same level of velocity and attitude errors in SINS. A reference inertial navigation system model is added to the simulation model, and the transfer alignment accuracy is analyzed by comparing the navigation information of MINS and SINS with the reference inertial navigation system. It is confirmed that the accuracy analysis results through simulation are consistent with the theoretically analyzed results, and through this, the validity of the theoretically analysis in this paper is verified. The research findings indicate that when performing transfer alignment using MINS, which is likely to be operated for prolonged periods in pure inertial navigation mode, the navigation errors of MINS are transferred to SINS. This implies that initial correction navigation is necessary to be considered for SINS

The navigation message is composed of the information contained in the message and the structure for transmitting this information. In order to design a navigation message, considerations in terms of message content and message structure must be elicited. For designing a Korea Positioning System (KPS) navigation message, this paper explains performance indicators in terms of message structure and message content. Most of the performance analysis of GNSS navigation messages already in operation was performed only for Time-to-first-fix-Data (TTFFD). However, in the navigation message, the message content is composed of Clock-Ephemeris Data (CED) and additional information. So, this paper proposes a new performance indicator R_(Non-CED) that can be analyzed from the viewpoint of receiving additional information along with an explanation of TTFFD focusing on the CED reception time. This paper analyze the performance in terms of message structure using these two performance indicators. The message structures used for analysis are the packetized message protocol like GPS CNAV and the packetized and fixed pattern message protocol like GPS CNAV-2. From the results, it is possible to proffer how KPS navigation messages can have better performance than GPS navigation messages. And, these two performance indicators, TTFFD and R_Non-CED, can help to design the minimum TTFF required performance of KPS navigation messages.

This paper proposes two contributions. One is an analysis for the limit of the subject of goal-directed reactive robot navigation, and the other is an effective navigation method employing the scheme of the subject. The analysis for the subject is presented in order to clarify the limit of the method. On the basis of the analysis, a safety-guaranteeing and deadlock-free reactive navigation method is newly proposed. The proposed method has a simple behavior-based frame such that it can make the required navigation tasks such as obstacle avoidance, deadlock resolving, and etc. with a very small set of behaviors in entirely unknown environments such as a living room, an office, and etc. Some results of experiments show these validities.

IMO에서는 선박운항기술에 ICT기술을 융합하여 해양사고를 예방하는 e-Navigation의 도입을 추진하고 있다. 국내에서도 해양사고의 취약계층인 어선 및 연안을 항해하는 소형선박을 대상으로 한국형 e-Navigation을 개발하고 있다. 그러나 한국형 e-Navigation의 성공적인 개발을 위해서는 현재까지 진행된 개발성과를 평가하고 개발 방향성을 재정립할 수 있도록 개발성과를 평가할 수 있는 지표의 개발이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 주요한 해양사고인 충돌사고를 중심으로 e-Navigation 서비스의 개발목표에 맞춘 평가지표를 개발하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 RCA기법과 FTA 기법을 활용해 해상 충돌사고 발생 근본원인을 도출하고 이를 정량화하여 e-Navigation 서비스를 위한 충돌사고 평가지표를 개발하였다. 해당지표는 e-Navigation의 개발지표 및 충돌사고 분석을 위한 지표로 활용되어 해양사고 저감에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.
