Recently, drones have been used in various field to overcome time and space limitations. However, single drone still has a lot of restriction on transportation wight and travel time. Therefore many studies have been conducted to increase the utilization by swarm of drones. Many things should be additionally considered in order to operate swarming drones securely. Especially the group key management is a challenging research topic in tactical domain due to existence of adversary that has anti-drone skill. In this paper, we proposed an efficient group key management scheme for tactical swarming drone networks where an adversary equipped with anti-drone skills exists. The group key can be updated with a small number of message exchange compared to other convenience schemes. The numerical and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme manages the group key efficiently and securely.

In this paper, we propose an architecture design of military operation system utilizing cellular networks. The main contribution of this paper is to provide a cost-effective military operation solution for ground forces, which is based on IT(information technology). By employing the cellular phones of officers' and non-commissioned officers' as the tools of operational communication, the proposed system can be constructed in the minimum duration and be built on the four components: command and control system, gateway, security system, and terminal(cell phone). This system is most effective for the warfare of limited area, but the effectiveness does not decrease under the total war covering the whole land of Korea. For the environmental change of near future, expanded architecture is also provided to utilize the functionalities of smart phones.

Military communications have limited resources such as poor bandwidth and insufficient link capacity. Numerous hosts in conventional IP networks, including the Tactical Information Communication Network (TICN), the tactical communication system of the Army, focus heavy traffic on a single server via end-to-end connections and in which data delivery latency is caused by exchanging routing information. Content-Centric Networking (CCN), one framework of Information-Centric Networking (ICN), is a novel Internet paradigm in which data can be accessed by the name of the content instead of the location information. This paper provides content caching strategies for applying CCN to military tactical IP networks based on TICN environment.

Detecting partially occluded objects is difficult due to the appearances and shapes of occluders are highly variable. These variabilities lead to challenges of localizing accurate bounding box or classifying objects with visible object parts. To address these problems, we propose a two-stage part-based attention approach for robust object detection under partial occlusion. First, our part attention network(PAN) captures the important object parts and then it is used to generate weighted object features. Based on the weighted features, the re-weighted object features are produced by our reinforced PAN(RPAN). Experiments are performed on our collected military vehicle dataset and synthetic occlusion dataset. Our method outperforms the baselines and demonstrates the robustness of detecting objects under partial occlusion.

군 통신망 응용서비스들을 위한 트래픽 클래스 분류는 NCW (Network Centric Warfare)를 위한 망자원의 효과적인 관리를 제공하기 위한 주요 요구 조건들 중의 하나이다. 많은 표준들과 기관들에서 트래픽 클래스 구분을 제시하고 있으나, 상용 서비스에 초점이 맞추어져 있고 군 특성을 반영하지 못하고 있다. 더욱이 다양한 군 통신 응용서비스들이 제시되고 있으나, 트래픽 분류에 대한 불분명한 기준에 의하여 기관들마다 서로 다른 분류가 이루어지기도 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Y.1541을 기반으로 하는 다양한 상용 표준들과 DoD (Department of Defense)의 제안을 기반으로 군 통신 응용서비스에 트래픽 클래스를 부여하고 전달요구 조건을 설정하기 위한 방법론을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 기존 상용 표준들에서 분류한 트래픽 클래스 체계와 DoD 와 FCS (Future Combat System)에서 제시한 군 응용트래픽 클래스 체계를 대상으로 하여 타당성을 검증하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 기존의 또는 새로운 군 통신 응용서비스에 대하여 기계적이고 일관된 트래픽 클래스 부여가 가능하여, 한정된 군 통신 네트워크 자원을 효과적으로 운용하도록 하는 데에 기여가능 할 것으로 기대한다.

Tactical networks are evolving into an All-IP based network for network centric warfare(NCW). Owing to the flexibility of IP based network, various military data applications including real-time and multi-media services are being integrated in tactical networks. Because each application has diverse Quality-of-service(QoS) requirements, it is crucial to develop a QoS provisioning method for guaranteeing QoS requirements efficiently. Conventionally, differentiated services(DiffServ) have been used to provide a different level of QoS for traffic flows. However, DiffServ is not designed to guarantee a specific requirement of QoS such as delay, loss, and bandwidth. Therefore, it is not suitable for military applications with a tight bound of QoS requirements. In this paper, we propose a multi-layer network virtualization scheme that allocates traffic flows having different QoS requirements to multiple virtual networks, which are constructed to support different QoS policies such as virtual network functions(VNFs), routing, queueing/active queue management(AQM), and physical layer policy. The experiment results indicate that the proposed scheme achieves lower delays and losses through multiple virtual networks having differentiated QoS policies in comparison with conventional networks.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 중요한 이슈 중 하나는 센서 노드의 에너지 절약이다. 그러나 군 정찰, 물체 추적과 같은 응용 분야에서는 지연 또한 중요한 문제이다. 이러한 응용에서 센서 노드는 물체가 감지되면 제한된 시간 내에서 많은 양의 데이터 패킷을 전송해야 한다. 그렇기 때문에 지연에 효율적인 데이터 전송 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 응용에 적합한 MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 MAC 프로토콜은 무선 센서 네트워크에서 군 감시 정찰을 위한 저 지연 데이터 전송 메커니즘이다. MAC 프로토콜에서, 수신 노드는 송신 노드에서 데이터 패킷을 수신한 후 두 번째 비콘 프레임을 보낸다. 이 두 번째 비콘 프레임을 사용하여 빠른 hop-to-hop 전송이 가능하다. 성능분석을 통해 제안된 MAC 프로토콜과 RI-MAC 프로토콜을 비교하였고, 제안된 방법이 지연에 더 효율적이다.

In this paper, we propose a dynamic slot allocation scheme to improve the slot utilization rate in tactical multi-hop networks in which the channel condition varies due to node movements. The proposed scheme takes advantage of the fact that nodes that are more than three hops apart can use the same slot simultaneously. The frame is divided into two parts: the control period and the data period. To know the available slot information within two-hop distance, the node exchanges a slot allocation information with one-hop neighbors during the control period. The node can get the information on idle slots that are not used within two-hop distance but assigned already to other nodes that are more than three-hop away. The identified idle slot can be used by the node, which increases the slot utilization rate. The performance analysis results of the proposed scheme show that it increases the slot utilization rate sufficiently despite the overhead of the control period in the multi-hop networks of the future soldier system.

This thesis presents a modification and extension to the Burgess and Killebrew heuristic resource leveling procedure for project networks. In contrast to previous algorithms appearing in the literature, the objective function of this algorithm. is the minimization of the sum of the squared errors in each time period (deviations around the mean usage) of all resources over the duration of the project. This objective function continues the search for an improved schedule beyond that of previous algorithms with their associated objective functions. One important feature is that the algorithm tends to reduce the number of periods that a resource is idle during its duration on the project.
