Recently, wireless network has been playing an important role in communication system and the applications have become wider with its big technological leap. In defence sector, there are some attempts to use wireless networks to go beyond the wire system. Especially, most internal space of the warships have the wired communication system, which are complicated and inefficient. In this paper, we measure and make a channel model about the internal parts of the warship which contain compartments and corridors including many differences from general indoor environment for establishing wireless networks in warship's internal space. In the unique environment made of metal, we measure 2.4GHz signals using continuous wave(CW) and analysis the environment to present indoor path-loss model for comparing with results from the ray-tracing tool. Moreover, we draw the conclusion that the environment of warships has a wide difference from conventional environments and put the results to practical use in warship's internal space.

Recently, the wireless communication applications are studied in various environment by the development of short range communication system like wireless sensor networks. This paper presents the analysis of localization schemes for ship application using received signal strength. The localization schemes using received signal strength from wireless networks are classified under two methods, which are Range based method and Range free method. Range based methods estimate the location with least square estimation based on estimated distance using path-loss model. Range free methods estimated the location with the information of anchor nodes linked to target. Simulation results show the appropriate localization scheme for each cabin environments based on the empirical path-loss model in warship's internal space.
