본 논문에서는 저고도 탐지레이다 센서체계의 주파수 합성기는 송수신 장치의 기준 주파수원으로 이용될 국부 발진 주파수들을 생성해 내는 주파수 합성부에 대해 설명되었다. 주파수 합성기의 성능을 평가하기위하여 각 주파수 원들의 위상잡음 특성과 주파수 합성기의 스위칭 시간을 신호 혼합기를 이용하여 측정 하였으며, 그 결과 설계 시 제시한 30(usec)이하인 약18usec의 스위칭 시간이 대부분을 차지함을 알 수 있었다. 주파수 합성기에서 생성된 최종 출력 주파수는 저고도 탐지 레이다의 송수신 장치의 국부발진 주파수로 이용되므로 출력 레벨의 flatness를 측정하여 분석한다.

A weather radar system generally shows the weather phenomena related with rainfall and wind velocity. These systems are usually very helpful to monitor the relatively high altitude weather situation for the wide and long range area. However, since the weather hazards due to the strong hail and heavy rainfall occurring locally are observed frequently in recent days, it is important to detect these wether phenomena. For this purpose, it is necessary to detect the fast varying low altitude weather conditions. In this environment, the effect of surface clutter is more evident and the antenna dwell time is much shorter. Therefore, the conventional Doppler spectrum estimation method may cause serious problems. In this paper, the AR(autoregressive) Doppler spectrum estimation methods were applied to solve these problems and the results were analyzed. Applied methods show that improved Doppler spectra can be obtained comparing with the conventional FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) method.

Most of weather radar systems are used to monitor the whole weather situation for the very wide and medium-to-long range area. However, as the likelihood of occurrence of the local weather hazards is increased in recent days, it is very important to detect these wether phenomena with a local weather radar. For this purpose, it is necessary to detect the fast varying low altitude weather conditions and the effect of the ground surface clutter is more evident. Therefore, in this paper, the newly suggested method is explained and analyzed for detection of weather hazards such as the gust and wind shear using the fluctuation of wind velocities and the gradient of wind velocities among range cells. It is shown that the suggested method can be used efficiently in the future for faster detection of weather change through the simple algorithm implementation and also the effect of the ground clutter can be minimized in the detection procedure.

우리나라와 같이 전투종심이 짧고 산악이 많은 지형에서의 저고도에 대한 공중위협은 더욱 가중되고 있어 대공화기의 중요성은 더욱 크다 하겠다. 또한 가장 도발 위험성이 높은 북한과 대치하고 있는 우리의 상황에서 적 공격기의 대지 공격능력 99.5% 이상이 폭탄, 기총, 로켓 공격임을 감안하고 또한 공격헬기를 이용한 대전차 공격과 무인항공기에 의한 위협도 증가하고 있는 추세인 점을 고려할 때 적기의 탐지로부터 격파에 이르기까지의 짧은 반응시간과 야간능력 및 유효사거리 3km내외의 명중률이 뛰어난 무기체계가 필요하게 됨은 자명한 사실이라 하겠다

As the likelihood of occurrence of the localized microbursts or severe flooding is increased due to the unusual weather changes, it is the very urgent problem to detect these weather hazards with a local weather radar. For a local weather radar of this purpose, it is essential to detect the low altitude and the fast varying weather conditions. Therefore, the very fast update of the weather information and the efficient clutter removal is very important. To achieve this goal, the appropriate method should be applied which does not need the mechanical elevation scanning and has the capability of the efficient clutter removal. Therefore, in this paper, the usefulness of the implementation of elevational filter banks with the spatial FFT algorithm was analyzed and investigated using a simple array antenna. It is shown that the suggested method can be used for both the minimization of the ground clutter and the fast update of weather information.

In this paper, the TWTA (Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier) maintenance system for the low altitude surveillance Radar was developed using the embedded Linux system, and its superiority was demonstrated through the performance test. Nowadays, the necessity of maintenance system and reliability testing on military equipments has been increasing steadily. In addition, nonlinear characteristics of the maintenance system for the low altitude surveillance Radar are more likely to have serious problems as well as to slow down durability. Therefore, after analyzing characteristics of RF input-output signal and TWTA, we designed interface circuits between the TWTA equipment and the embedded Linux system. The Linux kernel on the system was optimized to improve the efficiency and reliability. And our new TWTA maintenance system was evaluated in the real field. As a result, the proposed system was contented with desired specifications, and demonstrated military's fighting capabilities. Therefore, our novel system will advance military maintenance technology and will help to develop similar equipments.

This study reviewed camouflage techniques to reduce the visual detect-ability of aircraft. Visual camouflage can be defined as the process of making objects less visible. Aircraft visual camouflage delays detection of the aircraft position, speed, and flight direction. Multi-tone and counter-shaded schemes are generally adopted as camouflage patterns for close-air-support aircraft and air-superiority aircraft, respectively. Another study showed that the monotone scheme is also efficient when the hue and brightness of the camouflage color are controlled correctly. Active camouflage techniques for aircraft have been studied to increase the camouflage effectiveness. In particular, counter-illumination techniques using electroluminescence devices can minimize the difference in brightness between the aircraft and sky background. Active camouflage techniques are expected to enhance the survivability of low-altitude UAVs, which are vulnerable to visual detection.

As the maritime targets that threaten allies become lower, smaller, and faster, the need for analysis and modeling of clutter according to sea state increases. Clutter according to the sea state has a great influence on radar performance, such as lowering the probability of detection of low-altitude small maritime targets. In this paper, to analyze the detection performance of a multi function radar for a ship, a sea clutter model suitable for the radar operating environment is selected from several sea clutter models, and analysis of low-altitude, small target detection under a clutter is performed. By using the actual data of the already mounted radar for maritime target detection, four known clutter models have been implemented for each sea state and compared with the actual data. Through this, by selecting a clutter model that best reflects the actual radar environment, reliability of the clutter model is improved. Subsequently, the selected model is used to detect the detectable distance to the low-altitude small target.

This paper proposes an image processing algorithms for detection and tracking of aerial vehicles in short-range. Proposed algorithm detects moving objects by using image homography calculated from consecutive video frames and determines whether the detected objects are approaching aerial vehicles by the Probabilistic Multi-Hypothesis Tracking method(PMHT). This algorithm can perform better than simple color-based detection methods since it can detect moving objects under complex background such as the ground seen during low altitude flight and consider the characteristics of vehicle dynamics. Furthermore, it is effective for the flight test due to the reduction of thresholding sensitivity against external factors. The performance of proposed algorithm is verified by applying to the onboard video obtained by flight test.
