Land shrimp farms can control the growth environment more stably than coastal ones, making them advantageous for high-quality, large-scale production. In order to maintain an optimal shrimp growth environment, various factors such as water circulation, maintaining appropriate water temperature, oxygen supply, and feed supply must be managed. In particular, failure to properly manage water quality can lead to the death of shrimp, making it difficult to have people stationed at the farm 24 hours a day to continuously manage them. In this paper, to solve this problem, we design an integrated monitoring system for land farms that can be operated with minimal manpower. The proposed design plan uses IoT technology to collect real-time images of land farms, pump status, water quality data, and energy usage and transmit them to the server. Through web interfaces and smartphone apps, administrators can check the status of the farm stored on the server anytime, anywhere in real time and take necessary measures. Therefore, it is possible to significantly reduce field work hours without the need for managers to reside in the farm.

In October 2011, a commercialized 100kW class floating photovoltaic system positive plant was installed at Hapcheon dam a multi-purpose reservoir the first time ever in the nation. Floating photovoltaic system differs in water float, mooring device and underwater cable process from land photovoltaic system. As for land and building photovoltaic power generation equipments, many installation cases and skilled experiences are available, and thus installation is not difficult. However, commercial power generation floating photovoltaic system, which is attempted for the first time in the nation, requires to be designed and installed through a series of processes like technical review and verification of data by process in comparison with similar cases. The structure of floating photovoltaic system, an equipment for float photovoltaic module and other electrical equipment, is required to withstand weather environments like wind or typhoon etc and yet not affect water quality negatively, and for implementation of this system, construction efficiency and economy etc should be considered comprehensively. In this paper, the techniques of installing floating photovoltaic structure, mooring device, underwater cable, electrical equipment and remote monitoring control system are explained. The 100kW floating PV system is operating with 15% average capacity factor.

Fire accidents on land and at sea can cause serious casualties; specifically, owing to the nature of marine plants and ships, the mortality rate at sea from suffocation in confined spaces is significantly higher than that on land. To prevent such cases of asphyxiation, it is essential to install ventilation fans that can outwardly direct these toxic gases from fires; however, considering the scale of marine fires, the installation of large ventilation fans is not easy owing to the nature of marine structures. Therefore, in this study, we developed a new concept for fire safety technology to control toxic gases generated by fires from applied direct current (DC) electric fields. In the event of a fire, most flames contain large numbers of positive and negative charges from chemi-ionization, which generates an "ionic wind" by Lorentz forces through the applied electric fields. Using these ionic winds, an experimental study was performed to artificially control the fire smoke caused by burning paper and styrofoam, which are commonly used as insulation materials in general buildings and ships. The experiments showed that a fire smoke could be artificially controlled by applying a DC voltage in excess of ±5 kV and that relatively effective control was possible by applying a negative voltage rather than a positive voltage.

선박 운항 안전 확보를 위해 필요한 선박과 선박, 선박과 육상 및 기타 해양 안전 관련 주체와의 통신은 자율/무인 선박의 출현 및 유무인 선박이 혼재 운항하는 과도기적 상황에서 기존 VHF, AIS 등의 통신 기능을 능가하는 고용량, 고신뢰 선박 중심 직접통신 체계를 요구한다. IMO의 자율운항 선박 자율화 단계에 필요한 원격에서의 모니터링 및 제어 필요성(Ship to Shore), 나아가 완전한 자율운항을 위한 고용량의 선박중심통신(Ship to Ship) 및 해양 객체와의 통신(Ship to Shore, Air, People)이 구현되어야 유무인 선박의 혼재 운항 과도기를 거쳐 완전한 자율운항 시대로 나아갈 수 있다는 점에서 이를 포괄하는 S2X(Ship to Everything) 통신 기술의 개발 당위성을 찾을 수 있다.

A recent trend of increasing container traffic volume using reefer container demands continuous management of reefer container in transit. However, reefer containers can only be monitored at terminal or in ship during marine transportation instead of throughout entire section. In the case of inland transportation section using truck or train, monitoring is not possible currently. The reason is because the reefer container monitoring method using PCT recommended by IMO and conventional monitoring methods using TCP/IP, RFID communication require establishing additional communication infrastructure. This paper will propose a new reefer container control device that not only solves these problems and monitors during inland transportation section but also controls reefer container. Using data port attached to every reefer container, the proposed device collects the information of reefer container and using M2M communication technology, it transmits information to server without the need to establish additional communication infrastructure. In addition, it can control the operational status of reefer container upon receiving control information set in server such as temperature of reefer container.

해상에서 인터넷을 사용하는 데 많은 기술적, 경제적 제약이 따른다. 육상의 인터넷 서비스를 바다 위에서 실현하기 위해서는 기지국과 같은 중앙 통제 시스템이 없는 MANET을 기반으로 하는 해상통신망이 새롭게 구축되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 해상환경과 선박 내 단말장치의 특성을 최대한 고려한 해상 MANET 모델을 새롭게 설계하였다. 원양에서 선박들이 주로 주어진 항로를 기준으로 항해하는 특성을 고려하여, 개별적 이동노드(선박)를 대상으로 경로를 찾는 것이 아니라 정적 정보인 항로와 동적 정보인 선박을 복합적으로 활용하여 최단경로를 찾아내는 복합적 항로기반 라우팅(HCBR) 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 지리 정보를 이용하는 LAR 프로토콜과 성능 비교에서 경로 발견 시 제어패킷을 전혀 쓰지 않으면서 최단 경로를 훨씬 더 잘 찾아내는 특성을 실험적으로 파악하였다.

본 논문에서는 자율운항선박의 예측 가능한 운항 경로 상에 잠재된 비상상황을 인식하기 위하여 운항 해역의 항적 정보를 활용한 방안과 이를 기반으로 충돌 위험과 같은 비상위험을 식별하는 프레임워크를 설계하였다. 설계한 프레임워크는 크게 항적 특성 분석 모듈, 항로예측 모듈, 위험 식별 모듈로 구성된다. 항적 특성 분석 모듈에서는 자율운항선박의 운항 해역에 관한 선박들의 항적 정보를 활용하기 위하여, 대상 VTS 관제 영역 내에서 취합된 누적 선박자동식별장치(AIS) 데이터를 이용하여 선박의 항적 특성을 분석하여 데이터베이스(DB)를 생성하였다. 그리고 운항 경로 예측 모듈에서는 누적된 항적 정보와 자율운항선박의 현재 운항 정보를 기반으로 특정 시간 동안의 운항 경로를 예측하기 위한 학습 네트워크 모델을 구성하였다. 마지막으로, 위험 식별 모듈에서는 예측한 운항 경로 상에 최근접점과 최근접점 거리 정보를 이용하여 충돌 위험 가능성이 있는 충돌위험영역을 식별하였다. 설계한 프레임워크는 자율운항선박의 육상 관제소에서 원격 제어를 통해 위험상황을 인지하고 회피할 수 있는 정보를 제공할 수 있음을 실제 항적 데이터를 활용하여 그 결과를 검증하였다.

Recently, because Global Positioning System (GPS) achieves accuracy for engagement of enemy targets, GPS guided weapons have a wide range of applications from land through sea to air. Especially, when GPS guided weapon is then launched, it reads current position and searches a course to the target. As we all know, because GPS signals are weak, these signals can be affected by interference. If jamming signal is strong enough, it can jam the receiver of GPS guided weapon. Therefore, anti-jamming technique is an important thing under these conditions. In this paper, the controlling azimuth angle was used to improve navigation performance of precision guided missile under jamming conditions. First of all, precision missiles by GPS positioning such as SLAM-ER and JDAM were investigated. Also, the azimuth cutoff angle of satellites for usable navigation under jamming signals was analyzed by experimental tests. As a result, we found that azimuth cutoff angle under 140 degree can help ensure continuous GPS reception under the missile guidance.

Recently, research, development, and commercialization of maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS) and remote control are in progress. Remote control is intended to secure autonomous navigation environments for existing ships or early-stage MASS using a remote control system (RCS). The main function of an RCS is to control MASS using data transmission between the MASS and the remote control centre. Remote control by a remote control officer also has an important function. The purpose of this study was to develop RCS and a performance evaluation technique for operation data provided by the RCS. The experiment was conducted during the navigation period of a training ship 'Hannara' after building experimental equipment at both an onshore remote control center and a training ship. As a result of evaluating data transmitted and received using the developed RCS, it was confirmed that data transmission was possible within an error range of 0.1%p. Fourteen types of ship information reflecting the navigation environment of the training ship were confirmed to be transmitted and received. The RCS developed in this work complies with the three principles of remote control: safety, reliability, and availability. This study provides a core technology for the development of RCSs for MASS and the evaluation of data transmission performance.
