International Maritime Organization(IMO) recommends the installation of an Automatic Identification System(AIS) according to requirements by SOLAS Chapter 5 to avoid maritime collision. AIS provides traffic information of other ships that may be used for maritime traffic control, SAR(Search and Rescue) and collision avoidance to apply safety management. In this paper, preliminary results to implement an aeronautical surveillance transceiver using AIS transceiver based on ADS-B concepts are described. Although altitude information is not required for AIS since the AIS is operated at MSL(Mean Sea Level), altitude information can be extracted by a GPS chip-set in the ALS transceiver. ADS-B transceiver is implemented by defining a surveillance message format including the altitude information and modifying SOTDMA protocol. Ground tests and flight tests are performed to validate the implementation results.

KOMPSAT-5 is the first satellite in Korea equipped with X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) instrument and has been operated since August 2013. KOMPSAT-5 is used to monitor the global environment according to its observation purpose and the availability of KOMPSAT-5 is also highlighted as the need of high resolution wind data for investigating the coastal region. However, the previous study for the validation of wind derived from KOMPSAT-5 showed that the accuracy is lower than that of other SAR satellites. Therefore, in this study, we developed the correction equation of normalized radar cross section (NRCS or backscattering coefficient) for improvement of wind from the KOMPSAT-5 and validated the effect of the equation using the in-situ measurement of ocean buoys. Theoretical estimated NRCS and observed NRCS from KOMPSAT-5 showed linear relationship with incidence angle. Before applying the correction equation, the accuracy of the estimated wind speed showed the relatively high root-mean-square errors (RMSE) of 2.89 m s^-1 and bias of -0.55 m s^-1. Such high errors were significantly reduced to the RMSE of 1.60 m s^-1 and bias of -0.38 m s^-1 after applying the correction equation. The improvement effect of the correction equation showed dependency relying on the range of incidence angle.

Environmental pollution caused by fossil fuel use and energy sources, the big concern is the rise of the current situation, one of the ways to overcome the interest in renewable energy is Gozo. Located on the west coast, especially the Saemangeum area and the northwest wind, the big advantage of the vast area that's got quite a number of wind turbines is expected. This study affirms that these expectations can be a wind energy resource survey sea area of the average wind speed of Kunsan 5 ~ 7m / s is enough, books are linked to the local marine wind farms can safely say that none of choejeokji said. In addition, the emergence of the wind resource to determine the density of the Weibull distribution is calculated using the number 1, the shape factor as a parameter to calculate the density of the wind a result, Gunsan Province was able to predict the emergence of the wind. In addition, by controlling the remote monitoring through the measurement exceeded the convenience and reliability at the same time you can achieve great results.

In recent years, many researchers and developers have been interested in renewable energy all over the world. Particularly, the development of wind power is being processed actively due to its high economic efficiency. A few years ago, Korean government has started the research for building a large-scale offshore wind farm in domestic west-southern area. Current domestic SCADA technology level for operating wind farm is very low compared with foreign SCADA technology level. In this paper, we found IT issues and solutions for developing SCADA system. Based on these solutions, we designed SCADA system for a large-scale offshore wind farm.

Environment and climate changes affect all aspects of our society. The enhanced remote sensing technology made the satellite to be widely used in the environment monitoring applications. Geostationary environmental monitoring is also actively researched due to the increased needs for the monitoring of diurnal environmental changes, troposhperic pollution and its origin. In this paper, recent development trends of geostationary environment monitoring payloads are introduced. GEO-CAFE and GIFTS missions are researched by the leading of the NASA and Sentinel-4 by the ESA. Those missions are in the state of detailed conceptual design and hardware development preparing with the launch plan in the late 2010s. By considering these development trends, domestic environment monitoring payloads shall be developed with careful analysis on the mission and data application.

In the midst of continuing international recession, the rate of maritime traffic and marine leisure markets are consistently growing. The Republic of Korea controls the marine traffic volume through vessel traffic centers and various other management facilities. Nevertheless, the continuous growth and complexity of marine traffic is resulting in repeated occurrences of marine accidents. Recovery is very difficult in cases of human injuries or deaths caused by marine accidents due to its nature, and the scale of marine accidents is also becoming greater with advanced ship building technologies. Passenger ships, oil tankers, and other such vessels used for specific purposes requires a more detailed navigational status surveillance and analysis, and numerous research has been conducted with an objective for monitoring such special purpose vessels. However, the data elements transmitted from the ocean to the shore station are limited to AIS and ARPA. We are implementing IoT ship sensor collection and a syncing system capable of transmitting various ship sensing data to the shore station, and also proposing a Safe Navigation Status Analysis System utilizing the collected data.

The detection of illegal ship is one of the key factors in building a marine surveillance system. Effective marine surveillance requires the means for continuous monitoring over a wide area. In this study, the possibility of ship detection monitoring based on satellite SAR, HF radar, UAV and AIS integration was investigated. Considering the characteristics of time and spatial resolution for each platform, the ship monitoring scenario consisted of a regular surveillance system using HFR data and AIS data, and an event monitoring system using satellites and UAVs. The regular surveillance system still has limitations in detecting a small ship and accuracy due to the low spatial resolution of HF radar data. However, the event monitoring system using satellite SAR data effectively detects illegal ships using AIS data, and the ship speed and heading direction estimated from SAR images or ship tracking information using HF radar data can be used as the main information for the transition to UAV monitoring. For the validation of monitoring scenario, a comprehensive field experiment was conducted from June 25 to June 26, 2019, at the west side of Hongwon Port in Seocheon. KOMPSAT-5 SAR images, UAV data, HF radar data and AIS data were successfully collected and analyzed by applying each developed algorithm. The developed system will be the basis for the regular and event ship monitoring scenarios as well as the visualization of data and analysis results collected from multiple platforms.

ECDIS(Electronic Chart Display and Information System 전자해도정보시스템)와 같이 진보된 IT 기술을 적용한 항해장비는 단순히 항해의 목적으로 사용하는 것 이상으로, 해양환경의 보호와 감시에 응용하는 등의 방법으로 그 활용범위를 직접적이고 적극적으로 확대할 수 있다. 종이해도와 달리, ECDIS는 '시간'이라는 4차원적 요소를 도입함으로써 동적시스템(Dynamic System)으로 전환이 용이하다. 이것은 조석, 조류, 바람과 파도와 같은 시간변수(Time Variables) 데이터를 적용함으로써 가능하다. 이 시간변수들을 어군이동위치, 계절변화에 따른 해저지형, ballast water의 취수를 위한 청수지역 등과 함께 활용을 한다면, green ECDIS를 활용한 green navigation은 현실화가 가능하다. 이에 따라 해상종사자의 환경인식은 뚜렷하게 그리고 유용하게 증가할 것이다. 본 논문에서는 green ECDIS의 개념과 모형의 설계 그리고 프로토타입의 개발을 제안하고자 한다.
