The Divert and Attitude Control System(DACS) used in high-altitude engagements is expensive and complex. In this paper, we design a high-altitude terminal guidance and control loop of guided-missile equipped with a Thrust Vector Control(TVC) that is less expensive and simpler than DACS. The proposed system utilizes a quaternion feedback control technique to track the thrust attitude command converted from the acceleration command of true proportional navigation guidance. The performance analysis of the proposed terminal guidance and control loop is conducted through engagement simulations against ballistic targets at a high altitude.

In this paper, an estimation scheme with the IMM algorithm to estimate radome slope and target states is used to reduce the radome induced miss distance effectively in spatial active homing engagements of an anti-air missile. The filter algorithm in conjunction with proportional navigation guidance is tested by a series of simulation runs.

In the work package 'Integrated Positioning' of the research project NAVIO (Pedestrian Navigation Systems in Combined Indoor/Outdoor Environements) we are dealing with the navigation and guidance of visitors of our University. Thereby start points are public transport stops in the surroundings of the Vienna University of Technology and the user of the system should be guided to certain office rooms or persons. For the position determination of the user different location sensors are employed, i.e., for outdoor positioning GPS and dead reckoning sensors such as a digital compass and gyro for heading determination and accelerometers for the determination of the travelled distance as well as a barometric pressure sensor for altitude determination and for indoor areas location determination using WiFi fingerprinting. All sensors and positioning methods are combined and integrated using a Kalman filter approach. Then an optimal estimate of the current location of the user is obtained using the filter. To perform an adequate weighting of the sensors in the stochastic filter model, the sensor characteristics and their performance was investigated in several tests. The tests were performed in different environments either with free satellite visibility or in urban canyons as well as inside of buildings. The tests have shown that it is possible to determine the user's location continuously with the required precision and that the selected sensors provide a good performance and high reliability. Selected tests results and our approach will be presented in the paper.

Generally, the inertial navigation and guidance unit uses AF(Analog-to-Frequency) converters which convert analog signals into frequency signals to enhance a measurement accuracy of gyroscope and accelerometer outputs. The confidence level of AF converter is guaranteed by a prudential decision of calibration procedure and a performance of periodic calibration test. In this paper, we focus on the synchronous charge balance type AF converter which has a separate positive or negative current input and its calibration method is described. The calibration tests are classified into the scale factor error calibration and the bias calibration. These tests are automatically performed by the calibration program.

GPS position errors were corrected for guidance of autonomous vehicles. From the vision, we can obtain the lateral distance from the center of lane and the angle difference between the left and right detected line. By using a controller which makes these two measurements zero, a lane following system can be easily implemented. However, the problem is that if there's no lane, such as crossroad, the guidance system of autonomous vehicle does not work. In addition, Line detection has problems working on curved areas. In this case, the lateral distance measurement has an error because of a modeling mismatch. For this reason, we propose GPS error correction filter based on curve-modeled lane detection and evaluated the performance applying it to an autonomous vehicle at the test site.

차량 항법 시스템(Car Navigation System)은 요즘 많은 발전을 거듭하여 차량 이용시 사용자가 가고자하는 목적지까지의 길을 쉽게 안내하고 있다. 이런 기술의 발전은 단순한 정적인 길 안내(Static Route Guidance) 뿐만 아니라. 동적인 길 안내(Dynamic Route Guidance)를 함으로써 자동차 운전자가 쉽고 빠른 길을 안내 받을 수 있게 되었다. 그러나 이러한 교통정보는 매우 변화가 심하므로 최초로 경로를 전송 받은 후 그 경로상에 교통정보가 변화하였다면, 이미 전송 받은 경로는 실시간으로 적극적으로 대응할 수 없고 실제 막히는 길로 안내할 수 있다. 목적지까지의 거리가 먼 경우 이런 현상이 더욱 심하게 나타날 수 있다. 이런 경우 운전자는 실제로는 막히는 길로 안내 받을 수 밖에 없다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해 교통정보를 수집하는 기존의 시스템에 Ad Hoc 네트워킹이 가능한 시스템을 탑재한 교통정보 수집 차량(Probe Car)을 이용한다. 정보 수집 차량이 극심한 정체를 발견하면 근처를 지나는 경로를 가진 차량에게 이를 전달하여 새로운 경로를 다운받을 수 있도록 한다. 이런 방법은 Ad Hoc Relaying System〔l〕을 이용하여 가능하며, 센터에 수집되고 가공되는 시간을 최대한 줄일 수 있으며, 센터의 통신 오버헤드를 최소화할 수 있다. 또한 기지국에 호가 집중되어 call blocking이 발생함 경우에 이를 해결할 수 있다.

This paper presents a dynamic simulation loop that gives tracking results of 2-color concentric annular ring (CAR) reticle seeker. Our simulation tool includes the target/flare model and a proportional navigation guidance (PNG) loop. The CAR reticle system performances and the flare effects are analyzed in various scenarios. When a flare is present in the field of view (FOV), the simulation results show that the reticle seeker cannot keep a precise target tracking. In this paper, we propose 2-color counter-countermeasure (CCM) using the least mean square (LMS) method to cope with a presence of IR flare. The proposed method makes a simultaneous process in two infrared (IR) wavelength bands: MWIR add SWIR. The simulation results have shown that our adaptive IRCCM algorithm can achieve an effective cancellation of the flare signal with a relatively high intensity.

In-vehicle route guidance information(RGI) systems have been developed with the advancement of the information and communication technologies. However, the RGI is provided by a pre-determined option, drivers occasionally pass the target intersection owing to non- or late- recognizing it. The purpose of this experiment is to examine the position of driver's tum signal operation and intersection recognition approaching at the target intersection which is difficult to identify as a preliminary research on developing the additional RGI connecting with the tum signal control. The field experiment was conducted to measure distances of the turn signal operation and intersection recognition from the target intersection according to driving lanes and landmarks at adjacent intersection. And, glance behavior to the car navigation display was evaluated by using an eye camera. The results indicate that drivers operate the turn signal after confirming a landmark in the case of the intersection with it. However, most case of driving, drivers operate the tum signal at 40 to 50m before coming to the target. To provide the additional RGI, when drivers do not operate the tum signal approaching at the target intersection based on the results, is expected to improve the traffic safety and the comfort for drivers.

This paper describes on methods in test and evaluation of the guided rocket munitions of the domestic new generation multiple launcher rocket system. We modified and refer to the present model of air-to-air missile(AAM) and surface-to-air missile(SAM). Also we suggested a method of surface-to-surface missile(SSM) based on the characteristics of the guided rocket in test and evaluation(T&E). According to this study, the suggested activity of T&E should be observed methods compatible with each item on the established model. Therefore, we expect that the proposed research material will be a good guide to the study of a surface-to-surface missile(SSM) installed GPS/INS integration navigation guidance & control systems in the future.

The Real Time Kinematic (RTK) technique is the most productive and accurate GPS positioning method today, as it can be determinate position within few centimeters instantly. This method is widely used for applications such as surveying, structure monitoring and machine guidance etc. In order to perform RTK processing for large scale systems (i.e. precise vehicle monitoring with many rovers), many expensive RTK receivers and same number of bidirectional communication units have to be installed to collect observation data communicate with the reference site and monitor its RTK solutions. Moreover, if applications require remote control or apply sensing instruments, we have to install computers at each rover. To limit expense and complexity of system management with a large number of rovers, we have developed server based RTK processing platform to share RTK function for all rovers. The system can be process many GPS stations with a single personal computer. we have also developed a specialized dual frequency GPS receiver unit without on-board RTK processing capability to reduce receiver cost in order to demonstrate the advantage of our server based RTK platform. This paper describes the concept of our server based RTK platform and specialized GPS receiver unit with existing applications in Japan.
