Air Traffic Management aims to fulfill the requirement of the aviation demander by constructing the most effective and safety aviation systems for providing safety and cost-effective service. All concerned parties of aviation present the needs of improving Air Traffic Management system for solving the issue of the current system and the air traffic capacity in the 21st century, and introduce the significant improvements from the conventional technology and method for the past 40 years. Accordingly, ICAO promotes the development of innovative procedures and technologies to solve the problems and meet the demands. It is the concept of Performance based Navigation(PBN) based on Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance/Air Traffic Management(CNS/ATM). This study defines differences between RNAV and RNP RNAV as methods of air navigation based on the CNS/ATM, and needs and requirements of PBN as an emerging global standard. It also outlines basic elements supporting and implementing the PBN concept.

As the importance of GNSS system increases, the necessity of independent system is increased also. When the independent GNSS system is required, GNSS signal design is necessary with requirement definition. This paper suggests the design method of GNSS signal using the analysis result of receiver performance. First, the candidates are defined based on the design elements. Then the receiver performance of the candidates is analyzed based on the performance evaluation parameters. The weights of performance evaluation parameter are defined in order to consider the receiver performance in a various aspects. Finally, the calculation of normalized performance evaluation parameters and weights are derived to obtain the compared value for signal selection. Spreading code, modulation method and carrier frequency are considered as design parameters. Also, correlation width, DLL PLL thermal noise jitter, frequency bandwidth and side lobe peak ratio are considered as performance evaluation parameters. And positioning performance, robustness to noise, bandwidth efficiency are considered as the performance aspects. This paper analyzes the performance of each candidate using software based simulator and suggest the method to compare objectively the performance of each candidates.

It is necessary to resolve integer ambiguity in GPS carrier based precise positioning. If there is no signal blockage or cycle slip, the integer ambiguity does not changed. however, signal blockage and cycle slip occur frequently under real operational environment. under this situation, integer ambiguity maintenance is indispensable for continuity of navigation information. In this paper, a cycle slip free technique is proposed for simplifying integer ambiguity maintenance procedure. this technique tested with simulated carrier phase signal with cycle slip aided intentionally. As a result, the proposed technique can give navigation information continuously even if cycle slip is occured.

Extrapolating the correction information of ionosphere is essential for expanding wide area differential GPS (WADGPS) service area beyond the reference station network. In this paper, design and analysis of the artificial neural network for expanding the ionospheric correction region will be proposed. First, analysis about influence of each input of neural network were performed. The inputs are the day/year periodic function, sunspot number, and geomagnetic index (Ap). Second, performance analysis with respect to the number of hidden layers and neurons in the neural network is shown. As a result, estimation of total electron contents (TEC) on the high/low latitude regions in solar max(2014) are displayed.

This paper investigates the applicability of optical flow information for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) navigation under environments where global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is unavailable. Since the optical flow information is one of important measurements to estimate horizontal velocity and position, accuracy of the optical flow information must be guaranteed. So a navigation algorithm, which can estimate and cancel biases that the optical flow information may have, is suggested to improve the estimation performance. In order to apply and verify the proposed algorithm, an integrated simulation environment is built by designing a guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) system. Numerical simulations are implemented to analyze the navigation performance using this environment.

This paper implements and integrates algorithms for terrain following of UCAVs (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles): trajectory generation, guidance, and navigation. Terrain following is very important for UCAVs because they perform very dangerous missions such as Suppression of Enemy Air Defences while the terrain following can improve the survivability of UCAVs against from the air defence systems of the enemy. To deal with the GPS jamming, terrain referenced navigation based on nonlinear filter is chosen. For the trajectory generation, Voronoi diagram is adopted to generate horizontal plane path to avoid the air defense system. Cubic spline method is used to generate vertical plane path to prevent collisions with ground while flying sufficiently close to surface. Follow-the-Carrot and pure pursuit tracking methods, which are look-ahead point based guidance algorithms, are applied for the guidance. Numerical simulation is performed to verify the performance of the integrated terrain following algorithm.

위성 항법 시스템 (GPS : Global Positioning System)은 3차원 위치는 물론 정확한 시각정보를 제공할 수 있는 항법시스템으로 항해에 있어 필수적인 요소이다. 최근 무인선박에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되며, GPS에 대한 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 무인선박은 자율 항해를 위하여 GPS와 관성센서, 라이다, 카메라 등의 기타 보조 센서를 결합한 데이터를 활용한다. 복합 센서를 활용한 자율 항해에 있어 각 센서들간의 시각동기 또한 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문은 GPS를 활용하여 소프트웨어/하드웨어적인 시각동기화 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 embedded Linux platform을 활용하여 GPS로부터 획득한 시각동기화 신호를 기준으로 시각동기화된 복합 센서 데이터를 취득하는 방안이다. 제안된 기법의 성능 평가를 위하여, GPS 가용/불가용 구간을 모사한 환경에서 GPS, 관성센서, 고도계를 결합한 실제 데이터를 활용하였다.

대한민국은 2022년부터 위성을 통한 GPS 측위 보강시스템인 SBAS의 본격 서비스를 목표로 연구개발을 진행 중에 있으며, 기존에 운용되고 있는 전국망 해양 DGPS국을 SBAS 기준국으로 활용하기 위한 방안을 모색하고 있다. 이런 이유에서 본 논문은 해양 DGPS국의 효과적인 공동 활용방안 제안을 위하여 SBAS 기준국의 요구기능과 성능을 분석하고, 해양 DGPS국과 비교하였다. SBAS는 관련 장비와 시설에 대한 검증이 엄격하고, 인증이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 해양 DGPS국이 SBAS 기준국으로써 SBAS 운영에 필요한 성능을 만족시키면서 해양 DGPS의 본래 기능과 성능, 표준 준수는 물론이고, 위성항법 시스템의 다원화에 유연하게 대응할 수 있도록 DGPS국의 구조를 설계하였다.

In order to ensure reliable navigation performance of a lunar exploration rover, navigation algorithms using additional sensors such as inertial measurement units and cameras are essential on lunar surface in the absence of a global navigation satellite system. Unprecedentedly, Visual Odometry (VO) using a stereo camera has been successfully implemented at the US Mars rovers. In this paper, we estimate the 6-DOF pose of the lunar exploration rover from gray images of a lunar-like terrains. The proposed algorithm estimates relative pose of consecutive images by sparse image alignment based semi-direct VO. In order to overcome vulnerability to non-linearity of direct VO, we add adaptive motion prior weights calculated from a linear function of the previous pose to the optimization cost function. The proposed algorithm is verified in lunar-like terrain dataset recorded by Toronto University reflecting the characteristics of the actual lunar environment.
