Abstract

Diverse sensors are equipped on P-3C Maritime Patrol Aircraft for RoKN to detect and monitor tactical targets. Tactical targets are maintained/shared by tactical computer stations which consist of a clustering network in the aircraft and displayed in various ways on TSDs(Tactical Situation Displays) for mission operators to perform their specified missions. Korea peninsula is widely covered with the sea areas and neighboured with several countries; which makes huge number of ships and aircraft deployment around the place. Due to an increase in number of sensors and enhancement of their sensitivities; we were aware of the necessity of TSD improvements to provide huge number of tactical targets and to display them efficiently. In this paper, we propose a solution for the improvements by using previous backup data and re-usage of the data, then we verify the proposal through implementation and evaluation results.

대한민국 해군에서 운영 중인 P-3C 해상초계기는 전술표적의 탐색 및 모니터링을 위한 다양한 센서들을 탑재하고 있다. 항공기내 클러스터링 네트워크로 구성된 전술컴퓨터 (tactical station)들은 센서들을 통해 주변 환경을 꾸준히 관찰하고 탐지된 물체들에 대하여 일부를 표적(target)들로 등록하고 관리한다. 이 표적들은 탑승한 임무 조작사들의 전술정보화면 (TSD; tactical situation display)을 통해 각 임무의 특성에 맞게 도시된다. 한반도의 지리적 특성을 고려하면 인접한 주변국들로 인한 해상/상공의 수많은 선박과 비행기들이 감지되고 있다. 이들은 초계기의 임무수행동안 표적들로 관리되어 꾸준히 모니터링된다. 센서의 증가와 성능 향상에 따른 더 많은 정보가 수집되고 이에 따른 TSD의 화면 갱신을 위한 처리방식을 개선할 필요가 있었으며, 본 논문에서는 이를 위해 전술정보 백업 및 재활용기법을 제안하고 이를 구현하고 분석하여 성능을 입증한다.
