  • It has been recognized that the risk from the vulnerability of GPS can lead to the extreme damage in the infrastructure of the civil and military in recent years. As an example, the intentional interference to GPS signal, named GPS jamming, was really performed to misguide GPS guided weapons during Iraq war in 2003, and the fact has also followed by the serious issues on GPS in civilian community. In the modernized military society, the navigation warfare(NAVWAR) based on the GPS jamming has been emerged and introduced as a military operation. The intentional interference to the future global navigation satellite system(GNSS) involving GPS must be also an important issue to civilian users in near future. This study is focused on the fundamental research prior to the research on "Potential principle of NAVWAR" under NAVWAR of the future warfare. In this paper, we would study on the investigation of NAVWAR based on electronic warfare(EW) and analyze characteristics of the jamming against GNSS's receivers. Then the general mechanism on GNSS jamming is proposed.

  • NAVWAR (NAVigation WARfare) such as an integral part of EW (Electronic Warfare) for making navigation systems malfunctioning expands rapidly in the future military warfare. First of all, Navigation systems of ground radio and satellite were investigated. And the definition of NAVWAR and vulnerability related to GNSS were analyzed. As a result, we propose the development direction for future navigation system such as constructing eLoran system, developing an integrated receiver, establishing alert steps of watch system, and so on.

  • One of the hot issues on GNSS might be that China declared to broadcast the signal of the new Global Navigation Satellite System called Beidou-Compass in December 2011. The multi-GNSS systems with the existing GPS and GLONASS consist of more than 100 GNSS satellites and transmit their signals in near future. Many benefits are expected in accuracy, availability, integrity and increasing anti-jam performance. In this presentation, we have mainly investigated the latest issue for multi- GNSS and discussed spectrum analysis as well as the accuracy improvement issue. The use of the modern weapon system based on satellite navigation information was also briefly investigated in warfare.

  • Clocks for time synchronization using radio signals such as global navigation satellite system (GNSS) may lose reference signals by intentional or unintentional jamming. This is called as holdover. When holdover occurs, a clock goes into free run in which synchronization performance is degraded considerably. In order to maintain the required precise time synchronization during holdover, accurate estimation on main parameters such as frequency offset and frequency drift is needed. It is necessary to implement an optimum filter through various simulation tests by creating clock noise in accordance with given specifications in order to estimate the main parameters accurately. In this paper, a method that creates clock noise in accordance with given specifications is described.

  • Wide area augmentation system is a system that generates and transmits correction and Integrity information for use in wide area. Typical system is SBAS. In the United States, it operates under the name WAAS, EGNOS in Europe, MSAS in Japan, SDCM in Russia, GAGAN in India. it is developing Korean SBAS which named KASS by 2022 in Korea. SBAS is a standard System that is operated as civil aviation service base and set as international standards by ICAO. So the correction data can only is used for civil SPS receiver. In this paper, we discuss C1P1 DCB estimation which need to use SPS correction service for PPS receiver. Then we analyze C1P1 DCB correction effect under standalone Satellite Navigation and method to use PPS receiver under SPS DGPS. Finally we organize wide area augmentation system for PPS receiver and analysis performance.

  • The public open signals from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) including Global positioning system (GPS) are used widely by many peoples in the world except for the public regulated restriction signals which are encrypted. Nowadays there are growing concerns about GNSS signal spoofing which can deceive the GNSS receivers by abusing these open services. To counter these spoofing threats, many researches have been studied including array antenna techniques which can detect the direction of arrival by means of Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm. Originally the array antenna techniques were developed to countermeasure the jamming signal in electronic warfare by using the nulling or beamforming algorithm toward a certain direction. In this paper, we study the anti-spoofing techniques using array antenna to overcome the jamming and spoofing issues simultaneously. First, we will present the theoretical analysis results of spoofing signal response of Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) algorithm in array antenna. Then the eigenvector algorithm of covariance matrix is suggested and verified to work with the existing anti-jamming method. The modeling and simulation are used to verify the effectiveness of the anti-spoofing algorithm. Also, the field test results show that the array antenna system with the proposed algorithms can perform the anti-spoofing function. This anti-spoofing method using array antenna is very effective in the view point of solving both the jamming and spoofing problems using the same array antenna hardware.

  • The progress in science and technology has widened the scope of the battlefield, leading to the emergence of cyber electronic warfare that exploits electromagnetic waves and networks. Drones have become more important due to advancements in battery technology and navigation systems. Nevertheless, tackling drone threats comes with its own set of difficulties. Radar plays a vital role in detecting drones, offering long-range capabilities and independence from weather conditions. However, the battlefield presents unique challenges like dealing with high levels of signal noise and ensuring the safety of the detection assets. This paper proposes various approaches to improve the operation of drone detection radar in cyber electronic warfare, with a focus on enhancing signal processing techniques, utilizing low probability of interception (LPI) radar, and implementing optimized deployment strategies.

  • Even though GNSS provides highly accurate navigation information all over the world, it is vulnerable to jamming in the electronic warfare due to its weak signal power. The United States and Korea have plans to use terrestrial navigation systems as back-up systems during outage of GNSS. In order to develop back-up systems of GNSS, an M&S software platform is necessary for performance evaluation of various vehicle trajectories and integrated navigation systems. In this paper a design method of an M&S software is proposed for evaluation of multiple radio positioning integration systems. The proposed M&S software consists of a navigation environment generation part, a navigation algorithm part, a GUI part and a coverage analysis part. Effectiveness of the proposed design method is shown by implementing an M&S software for the GPS, DME and eLoran navigation systems.

  • Recently, one has realized that the threedimensional positioning technique used in GPS can be effectively applied to the modern two-dimensional positioning. Such a technique might has applied to the twodimensional positioning in fields of the mobile communication, eLORAN and the GPS jamming/ electronic warfare system. In the paper, we have studied on algorithms for two-dimensional positioning based on GPS Pseudorange Technique. The main works and results are summarized below. First, the linearized state equation was mathematically derived based on GPS pseudorange technique. Second, the geometry model with respect to triangles formed using unit-vectors were proposed for investigation of land-based radio positioning. Finally, the corresponding mathematical formulations for DOP values and covariance matrix were designed for two-dimensional positioning.
