In modern warfare, the main factor of triumph is superior situation awareness which leads rapid command decision and precisely guided munition, and TDL(Tactical Data Link) is the main communicational enabler. ROK forces currently operate Link-16 with allied forces and are also developing Korean national data link, Link-K which is also planned to be cooperated with Link-16. Assigning participant and track numbers needs agreement between ROK and allied forces, but ROK forces have exclusive authority in assigning numbers in Link-K. This paper proposes the effective method of exchange participant and track numbers between Link-16 and Link-K, and applicability verification in operational test and evaluation will be also presented.

ROK Forces operate Link-11, Link-16 and Korean Tactical Data Link System with Link-K(JTDLS: Joint Tactical Data Link System). As the change from Link-11 to Link-22 approaches, in the JTDLS Completed Business will be added tactical data link processing such as Link-22. In this paper, we propose the data management structure for data from multiple tactical data links. Also, we simulate to find ways to process a lot of data quickly using Shared Memory, In-Memory DB, Self Development DB in DLP, and then we confirm the result.

Modern Warfare is transforming into a Network Centric Warfare(NCW) where surveillance systems, command control systems and strike systems are interconnected with advanced IT technologies to share battlefield situations. The South Korean military is using the various tactical data links(TDL) such as Link-K, Link-16, Link-11 and KVMF depending on each military's battlefield situation. Joint Tactical Data Link System(JTDLS) is a system thar shares tactical information in near-real time between army/navy/air joint forces and additionally establishes Link-22 in Link-K, Link-16 and KVMF. In this paper, we propose the Link-22 system structure, Link-22 message analysis and the interface structure between the tactical data link processor and Link-22 to apply Link-22 to the JTDLS.

To this end, the ROK military is developing a Korean Tactical Data Link (Link-K) in two stages: Basic and Completion types. Currently, the basic type of the Link-K has a limitations for supporting Mission Group(MG)s, such as to share unnecessary information and inefficient routing, because all RICCs simply broadcasts the same information in the basic type of the Link-K. In this paper, we propose a Zone-based Wireless Link-K network structure and a routing algorithm. To improve the effectiveness of the proposed routing algorithm, we have studied a filtering method that adjusts the message data according to the priority of the message and a method of controlling the load of the network. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, it is proved that it is effective to support the mission task group compared with the existing wireless Link-K routing algorithm according to the operational scenario situation.

Link-16 is a widely used TDL (Tactical Data Link) which uses TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access). Link-16 is a very low rate system, so it supports small size of data like tactical message and voice. However, there are related works to transmit situation awareness information like image due to the increasing interest about EBO(Effect-Based Operation), recently. Special TDMA scheduling is needed not static TDMA of Link-16 for image transmission because image data has much larger size than the existing tactical data. In this paper, we proposed Link-16K which enhances the Link-16 MAC. The proposed Link-16K is compatible with Link-16, and includes dynamic TDMA, new packing method, and an efficient retransmission scheme for image transmission effectively. We can see that image transmission delay is reduced and channel utilization is increased through simulation results of proposed idea.

In this paper, an extend kalman filter based relative navigation algorithm is proposed for Link-K based relative navigation. Link-K is a tactical data link system for joint operation capability upgrade of ROK forces. Link-K is inter-operable with Link-16 and transmit and received information of operations and target. In Link-K communication channel, PPLI message including transmitter position and TOA measurement can be used for relative navigation. Therefore Link-K based relative navigation system can be operated. In this paper, software based simulations were carried out for operational feasibility test and performance verification as error factors of proposed Link-K based relative navigation system.

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.

This study analyzes the mathematical relationship between DC-link voltage and system parameters for shunt active power filters (APFs). Analysis and mathematical deduction are used to determine the required minimum DC-link voltage for APF. A novel adaptive DC-link voltage controller for the three-phase four-wire shunt APF is then proposed. In this controller, the DC-link voltage reference value will be maintained at the required minimum voltage level. Therefore, power consumption and switching loss will effectively decrease. The DC-link voltage can also adaptively yield different DC-link voltage levels based on different harmonic currents and grid voltage levels and thus avoid the effects of harmonic current and grid voltage fluctuation on compensation performance. Finally, representative simulation and experimental results in a three-phase four-wire center-split shunt APF are presented to verify the validity and effectiveness of the minimum DC-link voltage design and the proposed adaptive DC-link voltage controller.

In Visible Light Communication (VLC) system, with the limitation of transmission range and Field Of View (FOV), LOS (Line of Sight) link between two transceivers should be guaranteed due to the straightness of the visible-light signal. Especially for indoor applications, link recovery is an advantage method to remain the link connection because of the link failure in which caused by movement obstacle. Link recovery schemes try to keep link dynamically without re-initialing connection. This article proposes a new link recover scheme for VLC system by using cooperative communication. Our propose scheme focuses on the QoS reservation resource by GTS in IEEE 802.15.7 specification in which the requested QoS resource from client should be guarantee during the application time. With the link recovery scheme, we will try to continue the link connection as long as possible when unexpected disconnect link. The mathematical analysis and simulation results show that proposed scheme increases the overall reliability of the VLC system.

As the trend of future war has been changed to network centric warfare, tactical data link should be needed for fast and accurate situation awareness. Nowadays, Korean air force conducts military operations by using aircrafts equipped with Link-16. The Link-16 can conduct multiple mission at the same time because it supports multi-net capability. Due to lack of frequency resource, the way to share the frequency with other systems has been studied and using L band with radar is considered as one of the candidates bands. However, the data link can be affected by the interference from radars when it shares the L-band because the L-band in Korea is already assigned to long-range detection radars. In this paper, we evaluate operational possibilities of tactical data link in the L-band based on Link-16.
