In the current very deep submicron technology era, fault tolerant mechanisms perform an essential function to cope with the effects of soft errors. To evaluate the effectiveness of the fault tolerant mechanism, reliability engineers use simulated fault injections using either saboteur modules or mutants in the simulation model. However, the two methods suffer from both inefficiency in the simulation mechanism and difficulties with the experimental setups. To overcome these inefficiencies, we propose the Verilog-based simulated fault injection (VFI) technique. VFI has the following advantages. First, modification of the design model is unnecessary. Second, the fault injection simulation procedure is simple and efficient. Third, various types of fault injection experiments can be performed. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, we developed a VFI environment using the ICARUS Verilog Simulator. From the experimental results, we were able to qualitatively evaluate the reliability of the target simulation models and to assess the effectiveness of the employed fault-tolerance mechanisms.

This study quantitatively evaluated the source term of a linear accelerator according to target thickness for a 6-20 MeV electron beam using MCNP6. The elements of the target were tungsten and copper, and a composite target and single target were simulated by setting different thickness parameters depending on energy. The accumulation of energy generated through interaction with the collided target was evaluated at 0.1-mm intervals, and F6 tally was used. The results indicated that less than 3% reference error was maintained according to the MCNP recommendations. At 6, 8, 10, 15, 18, and 20 MeV, the energy accumulation peaks identified for each target were 0.3 mm in tungsten, 1.3 mm in copper, 1.5 mm in copper, 0.5 mm in tungsten, 0.5 mm in tungsten, and 0.5 mm in tungsten. For 8 and 10 MeV in a single target consisting only of copper, the movement of electrons was confirmed at the end of the target, and the proportion of escaped electrons was 0.00011% and 0.00181%, respectively.

Ladar (LAser Detection And Ranging, Lidar)는 레이저 신호를 이용하여 대상지역에 대하여 정밀한 3차원 거리를 취득하는 센서로 최근 들어 미사일, 항공기 등에 탑재되어 자동표적인식 등에 활용되고 있다. 기존의 영상기반센서와 달리 센서와 표적과의 거리를 밝기나 색상 값으로 표현한 range 영상을 제공하며, 이로부터 표적의 정밀한 3차원 모델의 생성이 가능하기 때문에 표적의 인식과 식별을 가능하게 한다. 이러한 Ladar 센서의 데이터를 모의 생성한다면, 센서의 개선 및 개발 또는 센서 데이터 처리 알고리즘의 개발을 더욱 효율적으로 수행할 수 있게 될 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 특히 Linear FM 기반의 Ladar 센서의 신호 생성 및 신호처리 과정을 시뮬레이션하여 Ladar 영상을 모의 생성하고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 우선 FM chirp modulator를 탑재한 시스템의 레이저 신호를 모의로 생성하고, FFT기반 신호처리를 통해 센서와 표적과의 거리를 획득하였으며, 최종적으로 Ladar range 영상을 성공적으로 모의 생성하였다.

In this paper, we contructed extended Kalman filter for the image navigation systems. The conventional extended Kalman filter methode are simulated for nonlinear measurement systems. In addition, we designed a maneuvering target tracking filter using Singer's model technique and input estimation technique by Chan. Simulation results show that Chan's input estimation technique has performed better than Singer's technique.

수동 소나 시스템에서는 표적을 탐지, 추적 및 식별을 위하여 표적의 방사 소음으로부터 발생되는 주파수선을 주요 특징 인자로 활용한다. 이 연구에서는 수중 표적의 방사 소음으로부터 시간 영역의 표본화된 데이타를 이용한 불안정 주파수선의 추출 기법에 대하여 연구하였다. 불안정 주파수선은 시간에 따라 주파수선이 변화되어 나타나므로 불안정 주파수선 추출을 위하여 비선형 시스템에 유용한 확장 칼만 필터 알고리듬을 적용하였다. 모의 실험 및 표적 신호에 적용하여 제시한 방식이 불안정 주파수선을 추출할 수 있음을 보인다.

In this paper, a new type of weapon-target assignment(WTA) problem has been suggested that reflects realistic constraints for sharing target with other weapons and shooting double rapid fire. To utilize in rapidly changing actual battle field, the computation time is of great importance. Several metaheuristic methods such as Simulated Annealing, Tabu Search, Genetic Algorithm, Ant Colony Optimization, and Particle Swarm Optimization have been applied to the real-time WTA in order to find a near optimal solution. A case study with a large number of targets in consideration of the practical cases has been analyzed by the objective value of each algorithm.

This paper proposes a new approach to reduce the target estimation error of the measurement angle, especially applied to the medium and long range surveillance radar. If the target has no maneuver and no change in heading direction for a certain time interval, the predicted angle of interacting multiple model(IMM) from the previous track information can be used to reduce the angle estimation error. The proposed method is simulated in 2 scenarios, a scenario with a non-maneuvering target and a scenario with a maneuvering target. The result shows that the new fusion solution(weighted IMM) with the predicted azimuth and the measured azimuth is worked properly in the two scenarios.

An echo signal in the active sonar using a high frequency is mainly formed of a specular reflection from the surface of an object along with several equivalent scatter inside, which are characterized by the spatial distribution of the highlights on the object. This thesis proposed a model in which the synthesized echo signal can be expressed as a distributed simulated target. The proposed model is obtained after composing a signal based on the movement of highlights relative to the aspect angle from the discontinuous point of an external hull with a strong reflection from a spheroid underwater target. Because the proposed algorithm includes a synthesis of the signals related to the highlight spacial distribution, it can be applied to all kinds of systems used at a short range, and similar results were obtained to the actual measured results of all reflected signals in previous literature referring to the irregular factor application of an envelope.

The acoustic target strength (TS) is one of the most important parameters for a submarine's stealth design. Because modem submarines are larger than their predecessors, TS must be managed at each design stage in order to reduce it. To predict the TS of a submarine, TASTRAN R1 was developed based on a Kirchhoff approximation in a high-frequency range. This program can present TS values that include multi-bounce effect in the exterior and interior of the structure by combining geometric optics (GO) and physical optics (PO) methods, anechoic coating effect by using the reflection coefficient, and response time pattern for a detected target. In this paper, TS calculations for a submarine model with the above effects are simulated by using this developed program, and the TS results are discussed.

항공기 등은 미사일의 추적을 피하기 위해 대응능력(countermeasure)으로 섬광탄(flare)을 운용한다. 일반적으로 적외선 섬광탄은 표적에 비해 높은 방사 에너지를 방출하여, 미사일이 표적 대신 섬광탄을 추적하도록 설계된다. 따라서 섬광탄이 존재하는 상황하에서 표적을 정확하게 추적하기 위해서는 섬광탄 및 배경 등으로부터 표적신호를 분리하여 표적을 인식해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 섬광탄의 영항을 배제하고 정확히 표적을 추적하기 위해 자외선 및 적외선 대역을 이용하는 2-color 로젯 주사 탐색기(rosette scan seeker)를 시뮬레이션 하였다. 각 대역에서 얻어진 표적 및 섬광탄, 구름 신호 특성을 분석하였으며, 이로부터 표적을 정확히 검출함을 확인하였다.
