The CPS provides data with long-term stability independent of passed time and the INS provides high-rate data with short-term stability. By integrating these complementary systems, a highly accurate navigation system can be achieved. In this paper, a loosely-coupled GPS/INS integration system is designed. It is a simple structure and is easy to implement and preserves independent navigation capability of GPS and INS. The integration system consists of a NCU, an IMU, a GPS receiver, and a monitoring system. The navigation algorithm in the NCU is designed under the multi-tasking environment based on a real-time kernel system and the monitoring system is designed using the Visual C++. The integrated Kalman filter is designed as a feedback formed 15-state filter, in which the states are position errors, velocity errors, attitude errors and sensor bias errors. The van test result shows that the integrated system provides more accurate navigation solution then the inertial or the GPS-alone navigation system.

The eLoran system is considered the best alternative because the vulnerability of satellite navigation systems cannot be resolved as perfect. Thus, South Korea is in the process of establishing a testbed of the eLoran system in the West Sea. To provide resilient navigation services to all waters, additional eLoran transmitters are required. However, it is difficult to establish eLoran transmitters because of various practical reasons. Instead, the positioning with NDGNSS/AIS source can expand the coverage and its algorithm with applying continuous waves is under development. Using the already operating NDGNSS reference station and the AIS base station, it is possible to operate the navigation system with higher accuracy than before. Thus, it is crucial to predict the performance when each system is integrated. In this paper, we have developed a simulation tool that can predict the performance of terrestrial integrated navigation system using the eLoran system, maritime NDGNSS station and the AIS station. The esitmated phase error of the received signal is calculated with the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound factoring the transmission power and the atmospheric noise according to the transmission frequency distributed by the ITU. Additionally, the simulation results are more accurate by estimating the annual mean atmospheric noise of the 300 kHz signal through the DGPS signal information collected from the maritime NDGNSS station. This approach can further increase the reliability of simulation results.

본 고는 국내외의 지형참조항법시스템 관련 기술의 발전 동향을 살펴보고자 한다. 지형참조항법은 국외에서 1940년대부터 그 필요성이 대두된 학문으로 잠수정, 군용 전투기 등 다양한 분야에서 주로 군사목적으로 연구가 진행되었다. 1950년 ATRAN의 개발을 시작으로 1990년대 PTAN 지형참조항법기술까지 발전되어 무인기뿐만 아닌 Tomahawk 같은 유도무기에도 그 활용 범위를 넓혀가고 있다. 하지만 하드웨어적인 제약과 GPS의 발달로 관련 연구가 주춤하였으나 컴퓨터 기술의 발달, 지형측정센서의 정확도 향상과 더불어 GPS 교란 가능성 등이 부각되면서 최근 다시 관성항법시스템(INS)을 보조하는 대체 항법으로서 주목받고 있다. 주로 다중 측정치를 이용하는 방법과 비선형 필터를 이용하여 항법해 성능을 향상시키거나 병렬 다중필터를 이용하여 항법해의 신뢰성을 향상시키는 방향으로 연구가 진행 중이다. 그리고 다양한 지구물리데이터와 통합한 데이터베이스기반 복합항법 기술로 발전하고 있다.

Many researches on use of local ground navigation systems can be found to overcome vulnerability of GNSS. Effective use of an altimeter is proposed in GNSS/DME integrated navigation systems. A weighted DOP based on statistics of measurement error is derived for a given vehicle motion trajectory. From the derived DOP, the vertical error is estimated. By comparing the estimated vertical error with error specification of the altimeter, use of the altimeter is determined in the GPS/DME integrated navigation systems. In order to show effectiveness of the proposed method, 50 times Monte-Carlo simulations were performed for a GPS/DME integrated navigation system. The results show that the proposed method gives more accurate navigation outputs when the number of GPS satellites in view varies.

민간 항공기용 통합항전시스템의 개발은 현재까지 국내에서는 거의 경험이 없는 분야이다. 국내에서는 군수용 항공기의 항법전자장치의 국산화 개발은 일부 추진되었으나, 민수용 항공기 분야에서는 전무하다. 세계 시장에서 민간 항공기의 수요는 증대되고 있으며, 이에 따라 민간 항공기용 통합항전시스템을 국내에서 개발하고 시험, 인증할 수 있는 능력이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 항공기의 비행/항법 등의 계기를 통합하는 항공전자 연구개발의 필요성, 세계적인 흐름과 핵심기술력의 확보를 위하여 민간 항공기용 통합항전시스템 개발에 관련한 국내/국외 기술수준 및 산업 동향, 국내에서 개발한 통합항전시스템 인증의 필요성에 따른 문제점 및 해결방안을 제시하고 있다.

전세계 위성항법시스템은 미국의 GPS, 러시아의 GLONASS가 운용되고 있으며, Galileo, COMPASS 등이 구축 중에 있다. 세계적인 시스템으로 발전한 GPS와는 대조적으로 GLONASS는 세계 위성항법 사용자는 물론 자국 내의 사용자에게까지도 외면 당해왔다. 이는 구소련의 붕괴이후 러시아의 재정문제로 GLONASS가 완전한 임무수행을 못했기 때문이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 러시아 GLONASS 시스템의 현대화 정책을 분석하고, 위성으로부터 수신되는 실측데이터를 통해 시스템의 운용정도를 분석한 결과 정상작동 중이며 GPS와 GLONASS 통합 데이터가 매우 우수함을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes an attitude determination GPS/INS integrated system scheme for a UAV and presents experimental flight test results. The proposed system is designed as a part of an autopilot system and comprises a GPS attitude determination receiver, an off-the-shelf inertial measurement unit (IMU), and a navigation computer unit (NCU). UAV requires accurate attitude information for stable automatic flight control. The proposed system can provide accurate attitude information for the flight control computer (FCC) so that stable automatic flight control can be achieved. In order to verify the performance of the proposed scheme, an integrated navigation system has been developed. In order to evaluate the developed navigation system, the flight test has been performed. In the flight test, the developed system was shown to provide the position, the velocity and the attitude satisfactorily enough for stable flight control. The accuracy of the attitude information of the developed system was confirmed by comparing attitude of vertical gyro.

In this paper, interacting multiple model (IMM) filter was designed that guarantees a stable navigation performance even in the unstable satellite navigation position. In order to design IMM filter in INS / GPS integrated navigation system, sub filter of the IMM filter is defined as Kalman filter. In the IMM filter configuration, two subfilters are determined. Each Kalman filter defines the six-teenth state composed of position, velocity, attitude, and sensor error from the INS error equation and the states additionally derived in case of the coloured measurement noise. In order to verify the performance of the proposed filter, we compared the performance how the filter works in the presence of arbitrary error in GPS navigation solution. The Monte Carlo simulation was performed 100 times and the results were compared with the root mean square(RMS). The results show that the proposed method is stable against errors and show fast convergence.

GPS(Global Positioning System) and GLONASS(GLObal Navigation Satellite System) are basic technologies providing the information of the position and the time, and they have various applications such as navigation, survey, control, and so on. However, each GPS and GLONASS has limited number of visible satellites, and, from the view of strategy, it is undesirable to be heavily dependent on only one system. Thus, GPS/GLONASS combined receiver became required to obtain more precise navigation and system stability. In this paper, the RF front end of GPS/GLONASS combined receiver was fabricated on 130$\times$80 $\textrm{mm}^2$ PCB(Printed Circuit Board), and its system application was shown finally one chip possibility of GLONASS receiver is studied.
