The future warfare is changing to the NCW(Network Centric Warfare) from the platform-based warfare. Korea navy has been developing the KNCCS (Korea Naval Command and Control System) and the KNTDS (Korea Naval Tactical Data System) to prepare the NCW. Also, Korea navy has been using the ICS (Integraed Communication System) to transfer the command, control and tactical information on the naval ship. There is a lack of a systematic research and a reference material, although the ICS is a very important network on the naval ship. This paper is described the naval ICS. Also, a direction of the next Korea naval ICS is proposed.

With the rapid evolution of communication technology, it became possible to overcome the spatial and temporal limitations faced by humans to some extent. Furthermore, the quality of personal life was revolutionized with the emergence of the personal communication device commonly known as the smart phone. In terms of defense networks, however, due to restrictions from the military and security perspectives, the use of smart phones has been prohibited and controlled in the army; thus, they are not being used for any defense strategy purposes as yet. Despite the current consideration of smart phones for military communication, due to the difficulties of network configuration and the high cost of the necessary communication devices, the main tools of communication between soldiers are limited to the use of flag, voice or hand signals, which are all very primitive. Although these primitive tools can be very effective in certain cases, they cannot overcome temporal and spatial limitations. Likewise, depending on the level of the communication skills of each individual, communication efficiency can vary significantly. As the term of military service continues to be shortened, however, types of communication of varying efficiency depending on the levels of skills of each individual newly added to the military is not desirable at all. To address this problem, it is essential to prepare an intuitive network configuration that facilitates use by soldiers in a short period of time by easily configuring the strategy network at a low cost while maintaining its security. Therefore, in this article, the author proposes a Zigbee-based local strategic network by using Opnet and performs a simulation accordingly.

In this paper, a novel resource scheduling, which is used for hub network based long distance airborne tactical communication, is proposed. Recently, some countries of the world has concentrated on developing data rate and networking performance of CDL, striving to keep pace with modern warfare, which is changed into NCW. And our government has also developed the next generation high capacity CDL. In hub network, a typical communication structure of CDL, hybrid FDMA/TDMA can be considered to exchange high rate data among multiple UAVs simultaneously, within limited bandwidth. However, due to different RTT and traffic size of UAV, idle time resource and unnecessary packet transmission delay can occur. And these losses can reduce entire efficiency of hub network in long distance communication. Therefore, in this paper, we propose RTT and data traffic size based UAV scheduling, which selects time/frequency resource of UAVs by using iterative sorting algorithm. The simulation results verified that the proposed scheme improves data rate and packet delay performance in low complexity.

This paper presents a method for joint analysis of combat power and communication system performance via interoperation of a war game simulator and a communication network simulator using HLA/RTI. Effectiveness analysis of combat power has been performed by war game simulation with consideration of communication effects simulated by the network simulator. Performance analysis of a communication system has been performed by network simulation with computer forces generated by the war game simulator. Survivability of the red force and transmission power of a tactical FM radio for the blue force have been measured for the joint analysis.

In this paper, we designed a dynamic TDMA scheme for smooth tactical data distribution in TDMA tactical datalinks. Since the existing tactical datalinks use fixed time radio resources, it is impossible to change the resource status according to network conditions during operation. To overcome these limitations, we designed, implemented, and simulated the DTDMA processing and related messages such as initial timeslot allocation, intermediate time slot allocation, time slot return, and timeslot retrieval. As a result, it was shown that the method of effectively allocating and using timeslot resources according to the situation is applicable. Therefore, we will continue research to manage DTDMA communication on tactical data link in the future.

In this paper, we present the implementation result of an UWB terminal for mobile tactical networks. Considering the major characteristics of the terminals of tactical networks, i) targeting voice service, ii) pedestrian users, and iii) demanding high network fidelity, we designed all protocol layers from physical layer to applications layer. The designed terminal is implemented in forms of software and hardware with RF ASIC, FPGA, DSP, and GPP. The functionality of the implemented terminal is validated by successfully performing 1 to 1 and multi-hop voice communication test.

The success of naval operation prioritizes the implementation of a robust communication network that delivers accurate and prompt communications to one another. The satellite, which is the main communication network of the military, is required to construct a preliminary communication network because of the enemy radio disturbance and weak point of fixed antenna. The military operational communication network has been in transition from voice-centered wireless communication network to text message-based communication network. In this paper we suggest an enhanced communication method built on Roll Call, the main communication method of ROK Navy operating tactical data link called Link-11. Simulation results display that the proposed method reduces the transmission time per unit frame by 4.3 times compared to the Roll Call and 6.3 times compared with the Round Robin & Broadcasting; it is also proved that the higher the direct reception rate, the shorter the transmission time required by 1.6 times maximum.

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.

Korean military uses 'Tactical information communication network' to exchange information between units. In this study, we developed a media processing board for multi-party voice and video telephony based on open source software. On the other hand, in order to apply open source software for weapon systems and parts that are mounted on weapon systems, appropriate review is required according to the weapon system software development and management manual of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA). In this study, the analysis of the requirement items was performed and the appropriate countermeasures were proposed for the open software applied to the media processing board with respect to 'the guidelines for the application of weapon systems to open source software', an appendix to the DAPA's manual.
