Effective jamming in electronic warfare depends on proper jamming technique selection and jamming parameter estimation. For this purpose, this paper proposes a new method of estimating jamming parameters using Gaussian kernel function networks. In the proposed approach, a new method of determining the optimal structure and parameters of Gaussian kernel function networks is proposed. As a result, the proposed approach estimates the jamming parameters in a reliable manner and outperforms other methods such as the DNN(Deep Neural Network) and SVM(Support Vector Machine) estimation models.

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 study analyzes the current status and prospects of Iran's air defense network, focusing on the Russian-made S-300 system, and derives implications for the development of South Korea's air defense network. Iran's air defense network exhibits strengths such as long-range detection and interception capabilities, multi-target processing, high-altitude interception, and electronic warfare response. However, it also reveals weaknesses, including lack of mobility, difficulty in detecting low-altitude targets, obsolescence, training level of operating personnel, and vulnerability to electronic warfare. Real-world cases confirm these weaknesses, making the system susceptible to enemy evasion tactics, swarm drone attacks, and electronic warfare. Drawing from Iran's case, South Korea should establish a multi-layered defense system, strengthen low-altitude air defense and electronic warfare capabilities, foster the domestic defense industry for technological self-reliance, and enhance international cooperation. By addressing these aspects, South Korea can establish a robust air defense network and firmly protect its national security. Future research should aim to secure and analyze materials from the Iranian perspective for a more objective evaluation of Iran's air defense network and continuously track Iran's efforts to improve its air defense network and the trend of strengthening drone forces to predict changes in the Middle East security situation.

Satellite based communication is networks in which users in a wide area can access without wired-based ground infrastructure. In particular, the need is emerging due to the recent Ukraine-Russia war. Satellite network systems acquire data that is difficult to observe on Earth as well as communication networks and are also used for research and development, which allows additional data to be produced. However, due to the nature of communication networks existing in outer space, certain vulnerabilities are revealed, and attacks based on them can be exposed. In this paper, we analyze vulnerabilities that may arise due to the nature of satellite communication networks and describes current research, countermeasures, and future research directions.

It has been recognized that the risk from the vulnerability of GPS can lead to the extreme damage in the infrastructure of the civil and military in recent years. As an example, the intentional interference to GPS signal, named GPS jamming, was really performed to misguide GPS guided weapons during Iraq war in 2003, and the fact has also followed by the serious issues on GPS in civilian community. In the modernized military society, the navigation warfare(NAVWAR) based on the GPS jamming has been emerged and introduced as a military operation. The intentional interference to the future global navigation satellite system(GNSS) involving GPS must be also an important issue to civilian users in near future. This study is focused on the fundamental research prior to the research on "Potential principle of NAVWAR" under NAVWAR of the future warfare. In this paper, we would study on the investigation of NAVWAR based on electronic warfare(EW) and analyze characteristics of the jamming against GNSS's receivers. Then the general mechanism on GNSS jamming is proposed.

In electronic warfare, source enumeration and direction-of-arrival estimation are important. The source enumeration method based on eigenvalues of covariance matrix from received is one of the most used methods. However, there are some drawbacks such as accuracy less than 100 % at high SNR, poor performance at low SNR and reduction of maximum number of estimating sources. We suggested new method based on eigenvalues gaps, which is named AREG(Accumulated Ratio of Eigenvalues Gaps). Meanwhile, FGML(Fast Gridless Maximum Likelihood) which reconstructs the covariance matrix was suggested by Wu et al., and it improves performance of the existing source enumeration methods without modification of algorithms. In this paper, first, we combine AREG with FGML to improve the performance. Second, we compare the performance of source enumeration and direction-of-arrival estimation methods in Rayleigh fading. Third, we suggest new method named REG(Ratio of Eigenvalues Gaps) to reduce performance degradation in Rayleigh Fading environment of AREG.

In this paper, we describe the implementation methods and algorithms for the various technologies and devices required for the construction of the engagement HILS(Hardware In the Loop Simulation) in the limited space to simulate the high-speed maneuvering encounter situation of the weapon system in 3-dimensional real world space. Through this research, we have been able to suggest ways to analyze the major design elements of future electronic warfare equipment through experiments simulating actual engagements between various high-speed maneuvering weapons systems and electronic warfare devices in the future battlefield. It was confirmed that the M&S technology could be used to eliminate technical risks, reduce development cost, and shorten development time in the future real system development. The results of this study can be a great assist not only for the field of electronic warfare system research and development, but also for the research & implementation on HILS of various engaging class weapons systems.

This paper describes interferometer direction finder which measures the angle of arrival based on calculation of the phase difference of received radio signal from different antennas. Modern Electronic Warfare direction finder uses digital phase difference measuring techniques which have less effect on temperature variation and better performance under low Signal to Noise Ratio environment. In this paper, we analyze acceptable phase difference error for requirement of system's direction finding accuracy and introduce digital phase difference calculation techniques. We have investigated quantitative analysis on phase difference calculation according to sample number, SNR, interference injection. Through the simulation, frequency domain measurement technique is better performance than the time domain one at the environment of low SNR and interference injection. Proposed method can be used to determine the performance of interferometer direction finder.

In modern electronic warfare, a number of radar emitters are in operation, causing radar receivers to receive high-density signal pulses that occur simultaneously. To analyze the radar signals more accurately and identify enemies, the sorting process of high-density radar signals is very important before analysis. Recently, machine learning algorithms, specifically K-means clustering, are the subject of research aimed at improving the accuracy of radar signal sorting. One of the challenges faced by these studies is that the clustering results can vary depending on how the initial points are selected and how many clusters number are set. This paper introduces a repeated K-means clustering algorithm that aims to accurately cluster all data by identifying and addressing false clusters in the radar sorting problem. To verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, experiments are conducted by applying it to simulated signals that are generated by a signal generator.
