An Estimation of VHF datalink range for EW(Electronic Warfare) equipment in the sea environment was studied to predict the datalink range between transmitting and receiving station. We consider refraction and reflection in addition to the basic radar equation. The reflection especially includes propagation factor in case of spherical earth as well as flat earth. The estimation result can predict the real datalink range within 5% error.

In this paper, design measure were proposed for the construction of terminal systems for airborne platforms, which are key element in the Joint Tactical Data Link System (JTDLS) complete system. The Korean perfect tactical data link (JTDLS) is a communication system to establish an independent tactical data link network and needs to develop a MIDS-LVT (Link-16) communication terminal for datalink. Once a Ground/Navy JTDLS terminal system is established around airborne platform, it will be possible to break away from reliance on NATO-based tactical data link joint operations and establish independent Korean surveillance reconnaissance real-time data sharing and tactical data link operations concepts. in this paper, the essential development elements of airborne platform mounting and operable JTDLS terminals are presented, and the concept of system design is proposed to embody them. Further, improved system performance was analyzed by applying the concepts of complex relative navigation system and Advanced TDMA protocol for the deployment of airborne tactical datalink networks.

Uumanned aerial vehicle(UAV) systems have been used in various fields including industry and military. According to increasing the number of UAVs, the attention on interoperable UAV systems is increasing. In this paper, we propose the practical design of datalink in interoperable UAV systems. For practical design, we firstly review the operational scenarios in the interoperable UAV system. We then propose the system model of the datalink in interoperable UAV system. Consequently, the technical components such as the design of the network, the link management, the support of the multicast transmission, the support for autonomous mission and flight safety, and the datalink security are derived and reviewed for the practical design.

In the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Line-Of-Sight datalink system, there is a possibility that the communication line is disconnected because line of sight can not be secured by one antenna due to changes in position and posture of the air vehicle. In order to prevent this, both top and bottom of air vehicle are equipped with antennas. At this time, if the signal can be transmitted and received by switching to an antenna advantageous for securing the line of sight, communication disconnection can be minimized. The legacy antenna switching method has disadvantages such that diffraction, fading due to the surface or obstacles, interference and reflection of the air vehicle are not considered, or antenna switching standard is not clear. In this paper, we propose an airborne antenna switching method for improving the performance of UAV LOS datalink system. In the antenna switching method, the performance of each of the upper and lower parts of the mounted antenna according to the position and attitude of the air vehicle is predicted by using the deep learning in an UAV LOS datalink system in which only the antenna except the receiver is duplicated. Simulation using flying test dataset shows that it is possible to switch antennas considering the position and attitude of unmanned aerial vehicle in the datalink system.

In this paper, the optimum placement of airborne line-of-sight (LOS) datalink directional antenna to minimize the datalink loss within the operation range of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is analyzed by using the electromagnetic (EM) simulation. In quick banking of UAV, the datalink loss is occurred due to the electromagnetic distortion and transmission loss by the fuselage blockage. In general, the banking angle of UAV is limited to prevent the datalink loss. However, in this case, there is the problem that the mission performance ability is largely limited by the banking radius increase. To solve this problem, the optimum placement to mount the airborne LOS datalink 1-axis directional antenna on both the top and bottom surfaces of fuselage is analyzed by using EM simulation. The 1-axis antenna with large vertical beamwidth is used because the banking angle of UAV is dependent on the vertical beamwidth of antenna. Also, there is the benefit to reduce largely the weight because the 1-axis antenna can be mounted instead of the 2-axis one.

Lightning causes physical damage to aircraft, such as melting, burning and arcing, and magnetic field that occurs on the aircraft's outer body during the penetration of a lightning stroke causes voltage and current transients in the electronics and wiring within the aircraft. This effect will cause induced lightning strikes in the aircraft's internal airborne electronic systems, preventing safe flight. This paper introduces protection circuit design techniques, and the test results that meet the requirements for certification of criteria.

The tactical datalink system has been recognized as the key element in Network Centric Warfaret(NCW). The military has been putting great efforts into establishing datalink system using existing tactical radio and UMPC. but the aircraft operational environment and the requirement specification for equipments mounted in the avionics are differentiated with those in other platforms, so special efforts are needed to select suitable UMPC. In this paper, we consider the requirement analysis for UMPC in respect of processor performance, operation system (OS) and NVG compatibility. Additionally we have to make a effort to understand the operational environment of aircraft and examine th standard to select the appropriate UMPC, and then we expect to establish the tactical datalink system successfully.

This paper deals with designing a ground-based longitudinal landing controller which is robust to datalink time delays. Time delays occur because forward velocity measurements are downlinked and the controller output commands are uplinked. An $H_{\infty}$ controller was designed by using the input/output decomposition where time delay is modeled as a first-order system with Pade approximation. Linear simulations show that the system tracks well the predefined path and is robust to the variation of time delay.

BACnet(Building Automation and Control networks) is a standard data communication protocol designed specifically for building automation and control systems. BACnet provides five options for datalink layer protocols and these five datalink layer options can be applied with various transmission media. Recently wireless technology prevails in automation area. ZigBee is a standard protocol based on IEEE 802.15.4 for low-speed wireless communication network. In this study, we propose a BACnet/ZigBee model that uses ZigBee wireless technology in a BACnet communication network system as a wireless datalink layer protocol. We also applied this model to a lighting control system to evaluate the feasibility of proposed technology. The technology proposed in this paper can extend the application of BACnet not only for building automation but also for home automation by taking the advantages of ZigBee wireless communication technology in BACnet communication network systems.
