Recently an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been widely used for military and civil applications. The role of a navigation system in the UAV is to provide navigation data to the flight control computer (FCC) for guidance and control. Since performance of the FCC is highly reliant on the navigation data, a fault in the navigation system may lead to a disastrous failure of the whole UAV. Therefore, the navigation system should possess a fault detection and isolation (FDI) algorithm. This paper proposes an attitude determination GPS/INS integrated navigation system with an FDI algorithm for a UAV. Hardware for the proposed navigation system has been developed. The developed hardware comprises a commercial inertial measurement unit (IMU) and the integrated navigation package (INP) which includes an attitude determination GPS (ADGPS) receiver and a navigation computer unit (NCU). The navigation algorithm was implemented in a real-time operating system with a multi-tasking structure. To evaluate performance of the proposed navigation system, a flight test has been performed using a small aircraft. The test results show that the proposed navigation system can give accurate navigation results even in a high dynamic environment.

기동 플랫폼에 탑재된 레이다는 플랫폼이 이동 및 회전함에 따라 레이다의 좌표계 상태도 같이 변화한다. 이때, 추적을 수행하기 위하여 센서로부터 측정된 플랫폼의 상태 정보를 이용하여 표적의 좌표를 변환하게 되며 센서의 잡음, 통신 지연, 센서 갱신 주기와 같은 원인으로 인하여 추적 성능이 저하될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 센서의 오차로 인한 추적 성능 저하를 최소화하기 위하여 기동 플랫폼의 상태정보를 추정하기 위한 항법 필터를 설계하고 모의 시험을 통해 항법 필터 적용을 통한 추적 성능 개선 효과를 분석하였다. 이러한 항법 필터 설계를 위하여 3가지의 필터 알고리즘을 분석 및 적용하여 각 필터별 플랫폼 위치 및 자세 성능 개선 효과를 확인하였고 가장 높은 성능의 필터 알고리즘을 적용하여 설계된 항법 필터를 추적 모의 시험에 적용하여 항법 필터 적용 전후의 추적 성능 개선을 확인하였다.

eLoran과 GNSS를 통합하여 항법을 수행하는 수신기를 개발하고 있다. 현재 Loran-C 단독 항법의 경우 LORADD 수신기와 유사한 성능을 보이고 있고, GNSS 항법의 경우 GPS만 사용하는 LORADD 수신기에 비해 GPS+GLONASS 또는 GPS+BDS를 사용하기 때문에 더 높은 GNSS 항법 성능을 갖는다. 추후 시각이 동기화되고 TOA를 구할 수 있는 eLoran/GNSS 통합 항법에서 LORADD 수신기에 비해 우수한 성능을 기대할 수 있고, 이를 위해 현재 Loran 데이터 채널 복호화 기능과 간섭 등 오차 요인을 제거하는 기능을 구현 중이다.

In this paper, we theoretically analyzed the self-alignment/navigation performance in the accelerometer resonance state generated by dither motion of ring laser gyroscope in LINS and verified it through simulation. As a result of analysis, it is confirmed that the amplitude of the accelerometer measurement amplified in the accelerometer resonance state is decreased in the process of sampling per the navigation calculation period and that frequency is changed by the aliasing effect too. It was also analysed that the attitude error in self-alignment is determined by the amplitude/frequency of the accelerometer measurement, the gain of the self-alignment loop, and the velocity and position error in the navigation is determined by the amplitude/frequency/phase error of the accelerometer measurement. This analysis and simulation results show that the self-alignment and navigation performance is not be degraded only when the amplification factor of the accelerometer measurement in the accelerometer resonance state is 3 or less

The design of new navigation signals is a key factor in building new satellite navigation systems and/or modernizing existing legacy systems. Navigation signal design involves selecting candidate groups and evaluating and analyzing their signal performances. This process can be easily performed through software simulation especially at the beginning of the development phase. The analytical signal performance analysis software introduced in this study is implemented based on equations between the signal design parameters of Radio Navigation Satellite Service (RNSS) and the navigation signal figures-of-merit (FoMs). Therefore, this study briefly summarizes the RNSS signal design parameters and FoMs before introducing the developed software. After that, we explain the operating sequence of the implemented software including the Graphical User Interface (GUI), and calculate the FoMs of an example scenario to verify the feasibility of the software operations.

This paper describes a DR construction for land navigation and the sigma point based receding horizon Kalman FIR (SPRHKF) filter for DR/GPS hybrid navigation system. A simple DR construction is adopted to improve the performance both of the pure land DR navigation and the DR/GSP hybrid navigation system. In order to overcome the flaws of the EKF, the SPKF is merged with the receding horizon strategy. This filter has several advantages over the EKF, the SPKF, and the RHKF filter. The advantages include the robustness to the system model uncertainty, the initial estimation error, temporary unknown bias, and etc. The computational burden is reduced. Especially, the proposed filter works well even in the case of exiting the unmodeled random walk of the inertial sensors, which can be occurred in the MEMS inertial sensors by temperature variation. Therefore, the SPRHKF filter can provide the navigation information with good quality in the DR/GPS hybrid navigation system for land navigation seamlessly.

차세대 지능형 교통시스템(C-ITS)은 육상교통 환경에서 차로구분 수준의 위치결정 정확도를 요구하며, 이는 위성항법시스템을 활용하는 게 가장 효과적이다. 위성항법 기반 정밀위치결정 시스템에서는 차로구분 성능의 동적환경에 대한 평가가 동반되어야 하며, 이를 위한 평가 시스템 구성이 선행 될 필요가 있다. 또한 동적인 환경에서 교통 상황이나 도로 상황에 따라 변화하는 다양한 환경에 따라 성능이 변화하기 때문에, 다양한 환경에서의 성능 검증이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 위성항법시스템 기반의 차로구분 정밀위치 결정 성능 평가를 위한 시스템과 교통, 도로와 같은 주행환경에 따른 성능 분석을 위한 기준에 대해 설명하였다. 실제 시험 평가 구간 주행을 수행하며 수집한 데이터를 바탕으로, 수치적 성능 평가를 진행 했으며, 실제 주행 궤적과 주행영상의 비교를 통해 실제 차로 구분 성능 평가를 하여 차로구분 정밀위치결정 사용자 시스템의 평가 결과를 도출하였고, 주행환경에 따른 성능을 분석 하였다.

This paper presents relative navigation using intermittent laser-based measurement data for spacecraft flying formation that consist of two spacecrafts; namely, chief and deputy spacecrafts. The measurement data consists of the relative distance measured by a femtosecond laser, and the relative angles between the two spacecrafts. The filtering algorithms used for the relative navigation are the extended Kalman filter (EKF), unscented Kalman filter (UKF), and least squares recursive filter (LSRF). Numerical simulations reveal that the relative navigation performances of the EKF- and UKF-based relative navigation algorithms decrease in accuracy as the measurement outage period increases. However, the relative navigation performance of the UKF-based algorithm is 95 % more accurate than that of the EKF-based algorithm when the measurement outage period is 80 sec. Although the relative navigation performance of the LSRF-based relative navigation algorithm is 94 % and 370 % less accurate than those of the EKF- and UKF-based navigation algorithms, respectively, when the measurement outage period is 5 sec; the navigation error varies within a range of 4 %, even though the measurement outage period is increased. The results of this study can be applied to the design of a relative navigation strategy using the developed algorithms with laser-based measurements for spacecraft formation flying.

A method that applies space-time adaptive signal processing (STAP) algorithm based on an array antenna consisting of multiple antenna elements has been known to be effective to remove wide-band jamming signals in GPS receivers. However, the occurrence of phase distortion in navigation signals has been a problem when navigation signals, from which jamming signals are removed using STAP, are supplied to global positioning system (GPS) receivers. This paper verified the navigation performance degradation as a result of phase distortion. To mitigate this phenomenon, this paper proposes a mode switching scheme, in which a bypass mode is adopted to make the best use of the tracking performance of receivers without performing signal processing when jamming signals are not present or weak, and a STAP mode is employed when jamming signals exceed the threshold value. In this paper, the mode switching scheme is proposed for two environments: when receivers are stationary, and when receivers are moving. This paper confirmed that the performance of position error improved because phase distortion could be excluded due to STAP if the bypass mode was adopted under a condition where the jamming signal power level was below the threshold value in an environment where receivers were stationary. However, this paper also observed that the navigation failed due to the instability of tracking performance of receivers due to phase distortion that occurred at the switching time, although the number of switching could be reduced dramatically by proposing a dual threshold scheme of on- and off-thresholds that switched a mode due to the array antenna characteristics of varying gains according to the jamming signal incident direction in an environment where receivers were moving. The analysis results verified that running the STAP algorithm at all times is more efficient than the mode switching, in terms of maintaining stable navigation and ensuring position error performance, to remove jamming signals in an environment where receivers were moving.

국제해사기구(IMO)는 해양 사고의 예방 및 원인 분석을 목적으로 선박에 항해기록장치(VDR)의 설치를 의무화하였다. 그러나 해양사고의 약 10%를 차지하고 있는 전복 침몰 사고의 경우 기존의 VDR 기록 데이터로는 사고 원인 분석에 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기존의 VDR에 기록되어져야 하는 IMO 권고 기록 데이터 이외에 내항성능 평가에 필요한 선체 상하가속도를 VDR의 추가 기록 데이터로 채택하여 선박의 항해위험도를 평가함으로써 전복 침몰 사고에 대한 정량적인 원인 분석에 적용하고자 한다.
