Information Grid that connects Sensor Grid and Shooter Grid with network is the core infrastructure to enable the NCW concept. The U.S. DoD(Department of Defense) has developed the GIG(Global Information Grid) as the Information Grid that connects all of the DoD mission areas. Then the U.S. DoD has incrementally constructed GIG. In this respect, the case of the U.S. DoD's GIG construction refers to materializing ROK Information Grid concept. Therefore we studied the U.S. DoD's GIG construction trend and analyzed ROK's GIG construction trend. In result this paper proposes the way to develop and construct ROK's GIG.

All of the military aircrafts in Korea Air Force are administered and operated together in the same system regardless of whether they are equipped with the data communication capability or not. The absence of the data communication capability in some of the aircrafts might increase whole kill chain hour at the point of the Network Centric Warfare achievement. Network synergy effects cannot also be desired if the section which is not connected to the network influences to the whole tactical network. Equipping aircrafts with the data communication capability could be done by upgrading the aircrafts, but resulting in high costs and long updating time. This paper is a research about the design and implementation of the UMPC based Data Link System to aircrafts that do not have the data communication capability. The proposed system grafts the UHF-based wireless modem technology and the aircraft flight mission support software onto the off-the-shelf UMPC and GPS system. The employed UHF radio equipment allows communicating tactic data with another aircrafts on the air, the ground control point, and even the Tactical Air Control Party(TACP) control vehicle that achieve missions with aircrafts. It thereby increases such capabilities as navigation aid, situation awareness, quick target identification and attack. We also applied Closed Air Support(CAS) scenarios, which is very close to the real environment, to the experiments of the proposed system. The experimental results show that the proposed system could support the data communication capability effectively and the flight mission at low costs of money and time.

The recent notion of Network Centric Warfare (NCW) emphasizes the ability to distribute right information at the right time to maximize the combat effectiveness. Accordingly, in the modern combat system the importance of non-physical element, such as communication system is increasing. However, an NCW-support communication network system is expensive. Therefore, it is essential to develop a proper combat system evaluation method to establish an efficient NCW-support combat system. Traditionally, combat system effectiveness is measured in terms of physical elements such as men and fire power. Obviously, such method is hardly applicable to a modern combat system To overcome this difficulty, we propose an evaluation model based on CA (Cellular Automata) simulation. A set of preliminary combat simulations show that CA simulation may be promising in evaluating non-physical element of a modem combat system.

With the development of information and communication technology, the military's battle environment is changing greatly to network centric warfare in where weapon system is connected in a network and carries out mission by exchanging the real-time data. The core of the network centric warfare is Tactical Data Link(TDL) system, and subscribers of TDL exchange tactical information in real time through wireline, wireless and satellite network to share the battlefield situation. The amount of data sent and received through TDL inevitably increase as military's weapon systems equipped with TDL systems increase over time and the performance of communications equipment improves. This study proposes ways to improve the transmission speed and processing capacity of the TDL system by improving the Data Link Processor.

The future warfare will universalize the operation of a combined weapon system that utilizes this technology and create an operational environment that is centered on a network requiring a high level of interoperability between combat elements as well as a high level of operation speed. In this kind of operational environment, future combat will take on the aspects of network centric warfare, which is capable of realizing a real-time sensor to shooter cycle by horizontally connecting operation elements. Therefore, the study attempts to draw out a Korean measurement plan concerning battlefield environment changes in the future by investigating and analyzing all problems occurring during the mass acquisition and processing of battlefield information in battlefield situations of network centric warfare currently conducted by the US military in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Next Generation Weapon system from the center of the platform to share information in real-time Network Centric Warfare(NCW: Network Centric Warfare) has been changed. Data link system is defined as a network. That is, all in real-time battlefield information is to enable sharing. Data link system is classified as a precision strike, Monitoring/control, control of a Patriot missile battery systems. These systems are most effective in a Joint warfare and precision strike. Data Link Systems(Data Communications) implementation is accomplished by using the KDLM(Korean Data Link Modem) and Radio Transceiver. KDLM is operated in conjunction with the legacy Radios(re-using fielded HF/VHF/UHF radio systems). In this paper, we describe in terms of KDLM system design. In this paper, the proposed design structure is how to effectively interact with legacy various radio. First, The results provide an analysis of that Dynamic TDMA system and apply modem structure. Radio characteristics data are necessary for an effective TDMA system design. This article analyzes the test results and describes the structure to improve the receive performance.

Recently, the development of military system is focused on Network Centric Warfare. But, there is no deployed Command and Control System for Missile System in the country. Therefore, Command and Control System for Missile System was simulated to predict feasibility for the future development in this paper. The contents of the design and implementation for simulated system are described in details. Besides, a method for avoiding collisions in 1:N radio communication environment is proposed as the future work. The simulated system in this paper will be a help to developing Command and Control System for Missile System in the future.

In this paper, we revise the JDL data fusion model to have an ability of distributed data fusion(DDF). Data fusion is a function that produces valuable information using data from multiple sources. After the network centric warfare concept was introduced, the data fusion was required to be expanded to DDF. We identify the data transfer and control between nodes is the core function of DDF. The previous data fusion models can not be used for DDF because they don't include that function. Therefore, we revise the previous JDL data fusion model by adding the core function of DDF and propose this new model as a model for DDF. We show that our model is adequate and useful for DDF by using several examples.

Korean military is propelling the M&S on new warfare concept, such as NCW(Network Centric Warfare) which is the aspect of future war. IPv6 is the essential element of next generation defense network which is supporting the future battlefield. There have been many studies on allocating the IPv6 address for next generation defense network. However, they assigned the address by level on the basis of the military organization or assigned it from the service network, so it had the defect, the big size routing table. This study reviews the topology of next generation defense network and adjusts the position of service network ID on the basis of the network topology. Finally, it improved the efficiency of route aggregation and minimized the routing table size in comparison with the previous studies and it was proved by OPNET simulator.
