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 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.

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.

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.

In this paper, we studied the method of designing a embedded antenna for mounting on the JTDLS complete aircraft. The proposed antenna satisfies the MIDS-LVT operation frequency band and is designed as a broadband in consideration of expandability. As a result of the design, it was confirmed that the proposed antenna has similar electrical performance to the existing blade antenna and has broadband characteristics. As a result of EM analysis, the antenna was mounted on the top and bottom parts of the aircraft to check the mount of the aircraft, and it was confirmed that both the top and bottom parts had good radiation characteristics. The technology acquired through this study is judged to be applicable to the JTDLS completed aircraft.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated a compact UHF receive module for efficient operation such as tactical and operation situation, target location information confirmation, target reset using Link-K(Korean joint tactical data link system). And the effect of target reset was analyzed by simulation. The designed module consists of UHF(ultra high frequency) receiver section, control section, and power distribution section. The UHF receiver section performs frequency down conversion, filtering and automatic gain control, etc. The control section demodulates frequency down-converted signals, extracts information, and performs external interworking. The power distribution section supplies external power, generates and supplies the power required by each section. The fabricated module was dimension of $105{\times}105{\times}80mm$ and weighed 1.10 kg and The receiving distance is more than 50 km.
