This study presents the performance analysis of real-time orbit determination and prediction for navigation message generation of Regional Navigation Satellite System (RNSS). Since the accuracy of ephemeris and clock correction in navigation message affects the positioning accuracy of the user, it is essential to construct a ground segment that can generate this information precisely when designing a new navigation satellite system. Based on a real-time architecture by an extended Kalman filter, we simulated orbit determination and prediction of RNSS satellites in order to assess the accuracy of orbit and clock prediction and signal-in-space ranging errors (SISRE). As a result of the simulation, the orbit and clock accuracy was at 0.5 m and 2 m levels for 24 hour determination and six hour prediction after the determination, respectively. From the prediction result, we verified that the SISRE of RNSS for six hour prediction was at a 1 m level.

This paper describes the results of the development of the submarine Free Running Model (FRM). First, the goal of development was set based on the test conditions and the test environment, and the system was obtained accordingly. The target submarine, Joubert BB2 submarine, was selected with a scale of 18.35 in accordance with the development goal. In order to conduct a submarine FRM test underwater, where communication is impossible, the FRM must operate at least semi-autonomously. For this purpose, an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) based underwater integrated navigation system and control system using a sailplane and an X-shaped sternplane were designed respectively. In addition, a ballast system was designed to enable the model to float to the water surface in case of an emergency. To verify its propulsion, navigation, and control performance, the FRM tests were conducted in both indoor and outdoor basins. As a result, the relationship between propeller RPM and vehicle speed was derived, and it was confirmed that the navigation and control performance met the target value.

미래항공항행시스템 (FANS; future air navigation system) 위원회는 전통 시스템의 한계를 극복하고 세계적으로 항공교통관리 발전을 가능하게 할 새로운 시스템 개발이 필요하다고 결정하였다. 급격한 항공기 교통량 증가를 수용하고 안전한 항공 운항의 효율성을 극대화하기 위해 ICAO에서 성능기반 항공통신 및 감시 (PBCS; performance based communication and surveillance) 제도를 새롭게 규정하고 적용하도록 권고하고 있다. 하지만 현재 국내의 경우 무선 데이터 링크를 사용하지만, PBCS의 도입이 정상적으로 수행되지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 PBCS 개념을 살펴보고, 해외 항공선진국이 PBCS를 적용 사례를 살펴본다. 또한 국내에서 PBCS를 도입하기 위한 국내 현황과 문제점을 분석하고 향후 정책방향에 대한 방안을 소개한다.

A Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) is a system that provides positioning information with high and accurate reliability to users who require ensuring high safety such as airplane taking off and landing. A continuous performance evaluation on navigation safety facilities shall be performed to determine whether developed systems meet the required performance before and after the operation. In this paper, SBAS position domain analysis is discussed in relation to analysis items for performance evaluation. The performance evaluation on the SBAS in the position domain shall conduct analysis on accuracy, integrity, continuity, and availability, which are items in the required navigation performance (RNP). In the paper, position domain analysis was conducted with regard to the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) in the USA and the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), which were developed already and now under operation. The analysis result showed that each of the systems satisfied the APV-I performance requirements recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) with regard to daily data. It is necessary to verify using long-term data, whether the performance requirements in the RNP items are satisfied for system certification.

Relative navigation system is presented using GPS measurements from a single-channel global positioning system (GPS) simulator. The objective of this study is to provide the real-time inter-satellite relative positions as well as absolute positions for two formation flying satellites in low earth orbit. To improve the navigation performance, the absolute states are estimated using ion-free GRAPHIC (group and phase ionospheric correction) pseudo-ranges and the relative states are determined using double differential carrier-phase data and singled-differential C/A code data based on the extended Kalman filter and the unscented Kalman filter. Furthermore, pseudo-relative dynamic model and modified relative measurement model are developed. This modified EKF method prevents non-linearity of the measurement model from degrading precision by applying linearization about absolute navigation solutions not about the priori estimates. The LAMBDA method also has been used to improve the relative navigation performance by fixing ambiguities to integers for precise relative navigation. The software-based simulation has been performed and the steady state accuracies of 1 m and 6 mm ($1{\sigma}$ of 3-dimensional difference errors) are achieved for the absolute and relative navigation using EKF for a short baseline leader/follower formation. In addition, the navigation performances are compared for the EKF and the UKF for 10 hours simulation, and relative position errors are mm-level for the two filters showing the similar trends.

Autonomous driving systems are likely to be operated in various complex environments. However, the well-known integrated Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)/Inertial Navigation System (INS), which is currently the major source for absolute position information, still has difficulties in accurate positioning in harsh signal environments such as urban canyons. To overcome these difficulties, integrated Visual/Inertial/GNSS (VIG) navigation systems have been extensively studied in various areas. Recently, a Compressed-State Constraint Kalman Filter (CSCKF)-based VIG navigation system (CSCKF-VIG) using a monocular camera, an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and GNSS receivers has been studied with the aim of providing robust and accurate position information in urban areas. For this new filter-based navigation system, on the basis of time-propagation measurement fusion theory, unnecessary camera states are not required in the system state. This paper presents a performance evaluation of the CSCKF-VIG system compared to other conventional navigation systems. First, the CSCKF-VIG is introduced in detail compared to the well-known Multi-State Constraint Kalman Filter (MSCKF). The CSCKF-VIG system is then evaluated by a field experiment in different GNSS availability situations. The results show that accuracy is improved in the GNSS-degraded environment compared to that of the conventional systems.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a practical underwater positioning system, which is applicable for shallow water depth conditions. In this paper, two strategies are used to enhance the navigation performance. First, a low-cost acoustic-ranging-based precise navigation solution for shallow water is designed. Then, the outlier rejection algorithm is introduced by designing a velocity gate. The acoustic-ranging-based navigation is implemented by modifying the long base line solution. To enhance the tracking precision, the outlier rejection algorithm is introduced. The performance of the developed approach is evaluated using experiments. The results demonstrate that precise shallow water depth navigation can be implemented using the suggested approaches.

The navigation and EDR(Event Data Recorder) have a different roles but also a lot of similar or common functions and elements. A representative element is a GPS. The GPS of navigation is a more higher than the that of EDR in performance. The high performance GPS has a very short initialization time and more accurate than the GPS of EDR. And the informations of OBD(On Board Diagnostics) is able to be shared in navigation and EDR. But these inter-working product between the navigation and EDR has been not yet shown. So, this paper is aimed to show how to interwork in two devices. We utilize USB bulk communication in two devices for inter-working. It is very simple ways and it could interwork in GPS, event video and ODB II data. It could be effective in cost competence and convenience. These was implemented by hardware and software and proved by the standard test.

Autonomous navigating algorithms for mobile robots have been proved to be a difficult task. Based on the excellent homing performance shown by many insects, bio-inspired navigation algorithms for robotic experiments have been widely researched and applied to the design of navigational strategies for mobile robots. In this paper, among them, we analyze two simple landmark navigation methods their strengths and limits. We investigate the effect of the occlusion problem mainly, which is an important yet tough problem in many landmark navigation algorithms. In the point of view of the error of homing vector and the performance of the homing paths in the environment with artificial occlusions, we investigate the effect of occlusion problem in both methods in order to further study on solutions.
