Automation of the key flight dynamics operations for the geostationary orbit satellite mission is analyzed and designed. The automation includes satellite orbit determination, orbit prediction, event prediction, and fuel accounting. An object-oriented analysis and design methodology is used for design of the automation system. Automation scenarios are investigated first and then the scenarios are allocated to use cases. Sequences of the use cases are diagramed. Then software components and graphical user interfaces are designed for automation. The automation will be applied to the Communication, Ocean, and Meteorology Satellite (COMS) flight dynamics system for daily routine operations.

본 논문에서는 향후 많은 항법위성이 생길 경우 통합시스템 방식을 사용할 시 원하는 위성을 선택함으로서 고의적인 재밍에 대한 대책 및 위치정보의 정밀도 향상 측면에서 매우 유용할 것으로 판단되어 GPS와 GLONASS의 통합시스템 구축 시 정밀도의 근간을 이루는 DOP 향상에 대하여 연구하였다. 데이터 분석결과 단독 GPS 사용 시 보다 통합 위성항법 시스템이 0.3 ~ 0.8 정도의 GDOP, 0.2 ~ 0.6 정도의 PDOP와 0.1 ~ 0.3 정도의 TDOP의 향상된 정보를 얻을 수 있었다.

한국은 성능기반항행 (PBN; performance-based navigation)으로 전환하기 위한 단계적 PBN 이행계획을 2010년에 수립하고 로드맵에 따른 새로운 비행절차를 개발 중에 있다. PBN 비행절차에는 GNSS (global navigation satellite systems), DME (distance measuring equipment), VOR (VHF omnidirectional range), INS (inertial navigation system) 등의 항행시설 (NAVAID; navigation aid)이 활용되는 것으로 되어있다. 그 중에서 GNSS를 이용한 PBN 업무제공이 중심을 이루고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 위성항법신호의 인위적, 자연적 간섭에 의한 취약성이 발견됨에 따라 세계 각국은 다양한 대안항법(APNT; alternative positioning, navigation and timing) 기술을 연구하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 GNSS 신호가 가용하지 않을 경우 기존의 항행시스템으로 지속적인 PBN 운항이 가능한지를 분석하였으며, 결과적으로 국내 일부 공항은 접근 단계 구역에서 대안항법의 구축이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

This paper presents the development of an end-to-end numerical simulator for signal design of the next generation global navigation satellite system (GNSS). The GNSS services are an essential element of modern human life, becoming a core part of national infra-structure. Several countries are developing or modernizing their own positioning and timing system as their demand, and South Korea is also planning to develop a Korean Positioning System (KPS) based on its own technology, with the aim of operation in 2034. The developed simulator consists of three main units such as a signal generator, a channel unit, and a receiver. The signal generator is constructed based on the actual navigation satellite payload model. For channels, a simple Gaussian channel and land mobile satellite (LMS) multipath channel environments are implemented. A software receiver approach based on a commercial GNSS receiver model is employed. Through the simulator proposed in this paper, it is possible to simulate the entire transceiver chain process from signal generation to receiver processing including channel effect. Finally, numerical simulation results for a simple example scenario is analyzed. The use of the numerical signal simulator in this paper will be ideally suited to design a new navigation signal for the upcoming KPS by reducing the research and development efforts, tremendously.

지난 2014년 한국형 SBAS (satellite based augmentation system)인 KASS (korea augmentation satellite system) 개발 구축 사업을 본격적으로 착수하였다. SBAS는 항공용으로 제정된 규격이지만, 비항공 분야에서도 활용이 가능하다. SBAS 규격으로 정해져 있는 메시지에 전송되는 정보의 종류 및 내용이 한정되어 있다. 전송되는 정보를 통해 센티미터 수준의 고정밀 위치 정보가 요구되는 분야에서 활용하기에는 정확도 수준이 낮기 때문에 추가적인 정보 제공이 필요하다. 비항공 분야에서 활용되는 정보를 항공기 항법에 영향을 주지 않으면서 안전하게 전송하기 위해서는 이에 대한 방법이 필요하다. 따라서, 이 논문에서는 항공용 SBAS 수신기에 대한 안전을 확보하면서 비항공 분야에서 활용할 수 있는 비규격 SBAS 데이터를 전송하는 방법에 대해 고찰하였다.

In this paper, authors introduce about Wide Range Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) system using Automatic Identification System (AIS). In order to develop the prototype of Wide Range VIS system, Korean satellite is used for data communication system for AIS. In this system, ship position obtained by using GPS is reported automatically to VTS center through Korean satellite. By using this system, VTS center can cover more wide area than the case using radar only. And the uncertainty of information is decrease. The results of test show the good possibility of VTS using satellite and AIS.

Global Positioning System (GPS) Precise Point Positioning (PPP) has been extensively used for geodetic applications. Since December 2012, BeiDou navigation satellite system has provided regional positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services over the Asia-Pacific region. Recently, many studies on BeiDou system have been conducted, particularly in the area of precise orbit determination and precise positioning. In this paper PPP method based on BeiDou observations are presented. GPS and BeiDou data obtained from Mokpo (MKPO) station are processed using the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) PPP software. The positions are derived from the GPS PPP, BeiDou B₁/B₂ PPP and BeiDou B₁/B₃ PPP, respectively. The position errors on BeiDou PPP show a mean bias < 2 cm in the east and north components and approximately 3 cm in the vertical component. It indicates that BeiDou PPP is ready for the precise positioning applications in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, BeiDou tropospheric zenith total delay (ZTD) is compared to GPS ZTD at MKPO station. The mean value of their difference is approximately 0.52 cm.

QZSS(Quasi-Zenith Satellite System)는 일본의 위성항법시스템으로 도심지역에서 GPS 시스템의 가시성 향상을 위해 계획되었다. 첫 번째 위성(Michibiki)이 2010년 발사되었으며 이후 정상적으로 항법신호를 방송하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 GPS와 QZSS를 이용한 통합위성항법시스템의 성능을 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 특히 한반도 주변에서의 통합위성항법 시스템 사용 관점에서 연구가 진행되었으며, QZSS 시스템의 특성 분석, 실험 장비를 이용한 실측 및 통계적 분석 등을 통해 체계적인 연구를 하여 GPS와 QZSS 위성항법 시스템이 가시성측면에서 장애를 받는 경우 뿐 아니라 평상의 위치 측정에도 더욱 신뢰성이 높음을 확인하였다. 또한 한반도 영역에서 다양한 항법파라미터 향상에 GPS와 QZSS 통합위성항법시스템이 매우 유용할 것으로 전망된다.

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.

The BeiDou is a satellite-based positioning and navigation system, which is under construction by the China Satellite Navigation Office. Until the June of 2014, the constellation of BeiDou navigation satellite system consists of 14 satellites including five geostationary earth orbit (GEO), five inclined geosynchronous earth orbit (IGSO) and four medium earth orbit (MEO). In this paper, we present the positioning results using BeiDou B1 code measurements obtained from three GNSS reference stations (BHAO, SKMA, MKPO). Combined Beidou/GPS positioning results are also compared to BeiDou and GPS only. BeiDou-only positioning errors for the east-west and north-south direction had less than 2 meter with root mean square (RMS) value. However, the positioning error for the up-down direction had larger than 10 meter at a 95% confidence level. Our results also suggest that the position precision is improved by combined BeiDou/GPS compared to BeiDou-only.
