This paper considers the problem of time difference-of-arrival(TDOA) source localization when the TDOA and angle of arrival(AOA) measurements from an airborne emitter source are subject to ground-platform sensor position. The optimization of sensors' position is a challenging problem and a solution with good localization accuracy has yet to be found. This paper proposes an estimator that can achieve these purposes and provides optimized sensor position for good localization accuracy using the proposed estimator. The developed algorithm and sensor position are then examined under the special case of a single airborne source. The theoretical developments are supported by simulations.

This paper is concerned with tasking and guidance of networked airborne sensors to achieve fault-tolerant sensing. The sensors are coordinated to locate hostile transmitters by intercepting and processing their signals. Faults occur when some sensor-carrying vehicles engaged in target location missions are lost. Faults effectively change the network architecture and therefore degrade the network performance. The first objective of the paper is to optimally allocate a finite number of sensors to targets to maximize the network life and availability. To that end allocation policies are solved from relevant Markov decision problems. The sensors allocated to a target must continue to adjust their trajectories until the estimate of the target location reaches a prescribed accuracy. The second objective of the paper is to establish a criterion for vehicle guidance for which fault-tolerant sensing is achieved by incorporating the knowledge of vehicle loss probability, and by allowing network reconfiguration in the event of loss of vehicles. Superior sensing performance in terms of location accuracy is demonstrated under the established criterion.

본 논문은 항공기 축소모델에 장착된 상관형 위상비교 방향 탐지장치의 방위각 측정 정확도에 대해서 기술하였다. 항공기 하부면에 안테나를 설치하면 날개 등에 의한 전파 반사가 일어나서 방위각 측정오차가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 F-16 전투기 5:1 축소 모델의 하부면에 5개 안테나를 원형으로 배치한 다음에 $0-360^{\circ}$ 방위각에서 $1^{\circ}$ 간격으로 전파를 송신할 때 5개 안테나에 수신되는 전파의 위상을 수치해석으로 구한 다음 상관형 위상비교방식으로 데이터를 융합하여 방위각 측정 정확도를 계산하였다. F-16 전투기 축소 모델의 상관형 위상비교방식의 방위각 측정오차는 신호잡음세기가 3dB 이상인 경우 평균 $1.0^{\circ}$ 이하로 양호하게 나타나서 항공기용 상관형 위상비교 방향 탐지장치 설계에 매우 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
