The sophistication and diversification of mission equipment for surveillance and reconnaissance is leading to a demand for large-capacity public data links. Overseas, a T4 class(274Mbps) common data link was applied to the Global hwak, a high-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle, and various research and development are being conducted in Korea. In this paper, we propose a structure in which pilot is additionally applied to improve SNR performance while minimizing data transmission rate loss in the DVB-S2 frame structure, which is a european satellite broadcasting standard, for high-capacity transmission of T4 class or higher in the common data link. For the performance evaluation of the proposed structure, the performance of the DVB-S2 was compared and analyzed by simulating the UAV data link channel environment. As a result of simulation, 0.15% of transmission rate loss occurred at T4 class transmission rate compared to DVB-S2 in the proposed structure, but improved SNR reception performance of 0.2~0.3dB was confirmed in the UAV channel environment.

Multi-Platform Image and Intelligence Common data link(MPI-CDL) systems are designed to transmit the imaginary and signal intelligence data at an aeronautical to ground line of sight(LOS) link. This paper proposes a method to predict a link availability and analyzes the required link margin to satisfy a given link availability for MPI-CDL systems. To estimate a link availability the proposed method applies the conditional probability so that both a rain attenuation and a multipath fading are considered simultaneously. Link margins to meet the link availability for MPI-CDL systems are calculated according to an operating environment including frequencies, flight altitudes and transmission ranges. The required link margins for actual unmanned air vehicle systems are also given by simulation results.

The UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) system, including the drone of a variety of fields, which has become an issue and utilized in various fields, has begun to develop in military fields and is actively developed in the commercial field. In various types of UAV systems, which have been developed recently, the communication system that is responsible for the connection between the ground control unit and the UAVs is called the data link. Especially, common data link used in military UAVs is required stability of communication to transmit surveillance and reconnaissance intelligence information and UAV's status. In this paper, the requirement for a modem was defined to secure the communication stability of the common data link used in surveillance UAVs. And, the design of the data link modem to satisfy applicable specifications was proposed. The proposed modem design was verified through the performance measurement of the implemented systems.

NCW is a new operational concept for modern warfare to improve the ability to conduct combat by connecting command and control system via network. To realize NCW integrating information sharing system between multiple platforms, CDL is considered as a key component for high-speed transmission of ISR data. Accordingly, further studies to enhance the performance of CDL are being performed around the world, and our government has also developed self-reliant CDL, MPI-CDL. However, the maximum data rate and networking performance of current CDL still fall short of the objective to enable multiple systems to share the large ISR data. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the development flow and international technical trends of CDL, and present an approach for enhancing data rate and networking capacity of the next generation CDL.

미래 전에서는 정보의 중요성이 더욱 부각되고 있으며 정보의 수집 및 전파, 정확한 지휘결심 및 전파, 기동타격체계의 통제 등으로 이어지는 지휘통제의 전 과정을 유기적으로 연결하여, 그 성능을 극대화시키는 것이 네트워크 중심전(NCW: Net-Centric Warfare)의 개념이다. NCW 실현을 위해 개발중인 여러 체계 중 주목 받고 있는 것이 무인기(UAV: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) 이다. 무인기는 감시정찰, 고정밀 타격, 그리고 전투피해평가 기능 등을 수행하며, 전술적인 상황인식이 가능하게 한다. 무인기가 이러한 임무를 수행하기 위해서는 비행체의 상태정보, 비행체의 조종통제정보, 그리고 임무 탑재체가 획득한 정보의 간단없고 정확한 전달이 요구된다. 이러한 정보를 전송하기 위한 비행체와 지상체간의 제반 통신을 데이터 링크(Data Link)라 하며, NCW 구현에 있어서 가장 핵심이 되는 요소이다. 세계 각국은 영상정보 수집자산으로서 무인기와 데이터링크의 개발에 박차를 가하고 있는 실정이며, 우리 군도 전력화가 계획된 각 제대별 무인기의 통합운용을 위한 영상정보 공용데이터 링크 (MPI-CDL: Multi-Platform Image and Intelligence Commom Data Link)를 개발중에 있으며 지속적인 영상정보 수집자산의 소요증가에 따른 주파수 획득문제와 사업별 독자적인 데이터 링크의 개발을 지양하고 기존체계와의 상호운용 및 단절없는 통신을 보장을 위해 개발과 동시에 국가적 차원에서의 기술구조 표준화가 추진되어야 한다. 이러한 시점에서 본고에서는 먼저 선진국의 (CDL : Commom Data Link) 표준화 동향을 알아보고, 상호운용성과 연동을 위한 한국형 MPI-CDL 기술 표준화방향을 제시하고자 한다.

In this paper, we predicted the propagation loss for the air-to-ground (A2G) channel between the ground control system and the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using the prediction model for the aircraft recommended by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). We analyzed the network coverage of the aerial relay system based on the medium altitude UAVs by expanding it into the air-to-air (A2A) channel. Climate and geographic factors in Korea were used to predict propagation loss due to atmospheres. We used the measured data published by the Telecommunication Technology Association (TTA) for regional rainfall-rate and effective earth radius factors to increase accuracy. In addition, the aerial relay communication system used the key parameter of the common data link (CDL) system developed in Korea recently. Prediction results show that the network coverage of the aerial relay system broadens at higher altitude.

This study considered NCW in the general as a key component of Future War and analyzed the international technical trend of tactical data link as the key of technical elements. The technique applied to Future War results from development of electronic communication and IT technique. However, NCW which plays a significant role in the Future War is not possible due to a development of simple technique but requires the amalgamative approach of various techniques essentially. That is, it should be understood and approached the management scenario and various techniques comprehensively. NCW is one of the areas which future electronic communication and IT can concentrate, so the government has been working for the developmental introduction of NCW strategically until 2020. Already, the level of localization of components related to electronics in military supplies exceeds 85%, but under the amalgamative research of technology in the high level like this, it would be possible to create new opportunities. Thus, the electronic communication and IT technology should seek effective applications of NCW by comprehending each area complexly.
