Tactical Data Links are standardized radio communication data links for military armed forces and used to transmit and receive data. Because they are the core elements of achieving information superiority in a NCW environment, various kinds of TDL are used by the Korean armed forces. Operating various types of TDL is very helpful in getting more information; however, at the same time, it is hard to integrate and make them co-operate with other TDLs or C4ISR systems. In this paper, we propose a XML based messaging system to make various types of TDL interoperable in a NCW environment. For the messaging system between TDL and C4ISR systems, we define XML message processing interfaces and suggest binary XML for serialization to save transmission loads over constrained military communication bandwidth. Our experiment results show that the TDL message can be transformed into generalized XML data that is interoperable with other TDLs and binary XML serialization, and it saves parsing and transmission time.

With the development of information and communication technology, the military's battle environment is changing greatly to network centric warfare in where weapon system is connected in a network and carries out mission by exchanging the real-time data. The core of the network centric warfare is Tactical Data Link(TDL) system, and subscribers of TDL exchange tactical information in real time through wireline, wireless and satellite network to share the battlefield situation. The amount of data sent and received through TDL inevitably increase as military's weapon systems equipped with TDL systems increase over time and the performance of communications equipment improves. This study proposes ways to improve the transmission speed and processing capacity of the TDL system by improving the Data Link Processor.

미래의 전쟁은 적 보다 더 나은 상황인식(SA: Situation Awareness)을 통한 정보우위를 기반으로 전쟁을 수행하는 네트워크 중심전(NCW: Network Centric Warfare)으로 작전 수행 개념이 빠르게 변하고 있다. 이에 따라 네트워크 중심전을 실현하기 위한 핵심 기술인 전술데이터 링크의 중요성이 크게 부각되고 있으며, 한국군은 자주 국방을 이루기 위한 한국형 전술데이터 링크를 개발 및 구축하기 위한 계획을 진행하고 있다. 본 원고에서는 한국형 합동전술데이터링크 구축을 위해 현재 미군에서 운용하고 있는 최신 전술데이터링크 기술인 Link-16 시스템의 핵심 요소기술인 PHY계층과 MAC계층에 관하여 살펴본다. 먼저 PHY 계층의 송 수신기 구조를 분석하여 전술웨이브폼의 성능을 알아본다. 다음으로는 MAC 계층에서의 자원할당방식을 알아보고, 최근 해군에서 개발중인 Link-22 시스템의 특징을 살펴봄으로써 Link-16 MAC 계층 기술의 발전방향에 대해 살펴본다. 마지막으로 이러한 기술 분석과 함께, Link-16의 PHY 및 MAC 계층 기술들의 성능을 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석함으로써 한국형 전술데이터 링크 구축을 위해 필요한 기술요소들의 실질적인 성능에 대해 알아본다.

In this paper, an extend kalman filter based relative navigation algorithm is proposed for Link-K based relative navigation. Link-K is a tactical data link system for joint operation capability upgrade of ROK forces. Link-K is inter-operable with Link-16 and transmit and received information of operations and target. In Link-K communication channel, PPLI message including transmitter position and TOA measurement can be used for relative navigation. Therefore Link-K based relative navigation system can be operated. In this paper, software based simulations were carried out for operational feasibility test and performance verification as error factors of proposed Link-K based relative navigation system.

Modern Warfare is transforming into a Network Centric Warfare(NCW) where surveillance systems, command control systems and strike systems are interconnected with advanced IT technologies to share battlefield situations. The South Korean military is using the various tactical data links(TDL) such as Link-K, Link-16, Link-11 and KVMF depending on each military's battlefield situation. Joint Tactical Data Link System(JTDLS) is a system thar shares tactical information in near-real time between army/navy/air joint forces and additionally establishes Link-22 in Link-K, Link-16 and KVMF. In this paper, we propose the Link-22 system structure, Link-22 message analysis and the interface structure between the tactical data link processor and Link-22 to apply Link-22 to the JTDLS.

The importance of networks is gradually expanding in the battlefield environment. As time goes by, the types of tactical data links used in the Korean JTDLS are increasing, and the military's weapon systems equipped with tactical data link systems are increasing. Thorough quality verification is required to provide stable software to the wider battlefield. This study examines how to prepare an environment in which various simulation tests to verify the stability of the Korean JTDLS project can be conducted as diverse as possible using minimal physical space and Hardware resources. Through this, it is possible to improve the completeness of the project and secure the stability of the program, and it is intended to contribute to securing higher stability and reliability by securing maximum test capabilities in a limited test environment even in Linux based system project of a similar environment.

The Tactical Data Link System(TDLS) is a standardized communication link to exchange and interface positional, situational information, command and control in real time. It has been evaluated that the link would play an important role for tactical interoperability, situation awareness, and execution of joint operations in the future war. This work presents how to embody the TDLS through the systems engineering approach on the base of TDLS operating concept analysis of helicopters-groud units.

In order to performing the joint operation of Korean army efficiently, informations about surveillance, reconnaissance, and situation awareness need to be possessed jointly. In the first development phase (basis type) of the Korean joint tactical data link system (JTDLS-K), essential tactical information and recognized situation are owned among platforms in common by using existing wireless terminals. In the second development phase (completion type) of the JTDLS-K, a JTDLS which can perform network centric warfare (NCW) will be developed in due consideration of technology development of the basis type and common technology maturity degree. This is a joint battlefield system that can show fighting power simultaneous and polysynthetically through providing command and control messages effectively to each platform, which is participating in the joint and combined operations. In this paper, the development of JTDLS-K with a common data processor based on common link integration processing (CLIP) is described. From the test results of the system presented in this paper, it is demonstrated that quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) signals can be applied to the system.

The tactical datalink system has been recognized as the key element in Network Centric Warfaret(NCW). The military has been putting great efforts into establishing datalink system using existing tactical radio and UMPC. but the aircraft operational environment and the requirement specification for equipments mounted in the avionics are differentiated with those in other platforms, so special efforts are needed to select suitable UMPC. In this paper, we consider the requirement analysis for UMPC in respect of processor performance, operation system (OS) and NVG compatibility. Additionally we have to make a effort to understand the operational environment of aircraft and examine th standard to select the appropriate UMPC, and then we expect to establish the tactical datalink system successfully.
