In this paper, design measure were proposed for the construction of terminal systems for airborne platforms, which are key element in the Joint Tactical Data Link System (JTDLS) complete system. The Korean perfect tactical data link (JTDLS) is a communication system to establish an independent tactical data link network and needs to develop a MIDS-LVT (Link-16) communication terminal for datalink. Once a Ground/Navy JTDLS terminal system is established around airborne platform, it will be possible to break away from reliance on NATO-based tactical data link joint operations and establish independent Korean surveillance reconnaissance real-time data sharing and tactical data link operations concepts. in this paper, the essential development elements of airborne platform mounting and operable JTDLS terminals are presented, and the concept of system design is proposed to embody them. Further, improved system performance was analyzed by applying the concepts of complex relative navigation system and Advanced TDMA protocol for the deployment of airborne tactical datalink networks.

In this paper, I designed the satellite system, using the MF-TDMA (Multi Frequency-Time Division Multiple Access) DAMA (Demand-Assigned Multiple Access) method, that allocates the satellite resources more effectively to prevent a large quantity data discard when Earth Terminals (ETs) request their satellite network resource to Network Controller (NC) by using their history information, such as traffic pattern or traffic class which have been receiving, and the network controller allocates the satellite network resource and send to earth terminals by using his history information that earth terminals have been requested already. The U.S. Military Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) community has selected the L-3 Linkabit MF-TDMA DAMA Network Centric Waveform (NCW) as the networking standard for full-mesh IP over SHF satellite communications. In the MF-TDMA DAMA satellite network, network controller allocates the satellite network resources and enables maximum 255 earth terminals to communicate each other for periodic satellite network resource requests of earth terminals.

This paper introduces several decision-making problems that need to be solved in order to facilitate the efficient operation of container terminals. These decision-making problems include the berth planning problem, the quay crane scheduling problem, the unload/load sequencing problem, the yard allocation problem, and the short-term scheduling of transporters and yard cranes. These problems can be classified into strategic decision problems, tactical decision problems, and real time operational decision problems. This paper proposes definitions of the problems that can be used to develop mathematical models for the problems.

Korean army has been trying to construct a future tactical network in collaboration with TICN at the ground level and the next-generation military satellite system in the space level. However, due to the low bandwidth and high operational cost, the satellite system has the limitation to exchange all kind of tactical information through it. To overcome the limitation, there have been several researches to construct airborne networks. In this paper, we propose an effective interworking architecture and operation scheme between terrestrial tactical networks and aerial relay networks to counteract against the communication breaks of terrestrial terminals. And, we also propose a way to analyze its effectiveness. The experimental results show that the interworking of aerial relay networks can manage the failure situations in terrestrial tactical networks very effectively.

A military tactical information communication network uses no base station and all mobile terminal are independent while mobile networks use an infra structure that a fixed base station supports many mobile terminals. A clustering system is more efficient than the existing one in small Ad-hoc network using a limited message size. The development of an adaptive clustering algorithm is necessary to maximize the network efficiency via a study on a clustering for military tactical information communication network.

In this paper, we present the implementation result of an UWB terminal for mobile tactical networks. Considering the major characteristics of the terminals of tactical networks, i) targeting voice service, ii) pedestrian users, and iii) demanding high network fidelity, we designed all protocol layers from physical layer to applications layer. The designed terminal is implemented in forms of software and hardware with RF ASIC, FPGA, DSP, and GPP. The functionality of the implemented terminal is validated by successfully performing 1 to 1 and multi-hop voice communication test.

The TMFT, a sub-system of TINC, provides voice calls, data transmission and reception, and multimedia services to individual users. At the time of development in 2011, the power circuit of the TMFT was designed to electrical power supply to each device via a charger IC. However, the newly improved power supply circuit allows power to be supplied to each device through the PMIC without configuring the charger IC separately. In this paper, the power circuit design structure of TMFT applied in the development stage and the improved power circuit design structure were compared. And we verified through experiments whether the improved power circuit can be applied to TMFT. The experimental method was verified by directly comparing the current consumption test, charge time comparison test, and rising temperature test during charging each of before and after improvement terminals.

In mobile and secure military networks, full-meshed IPSec tunnels, which do correspond to not physical links but logical links between each IPSec device and its peer, are required to provide multicast communications. All IPSec devices need support in changing IPSec tunnels by a way of using a multicast group key which is updated dynamically. Tactical terminals, which often constitute a group, need also secure multicast communications in the same group members. Then, the multicast group key is required to be updated dynamically in order to support group members' mobility. This paper presents challenging issues of designing a secure and dynamic group key management of which concept is based on the Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange algorithm and key trees. The advantage of our dynamic tree based key management is that it enables the dynamic group members to periodically receive status information from every peer members and effectively update a group key based on dynamically changing environments.

In order to performing the joint operation of Korean army efficiently, informations about surveillance, reconnaissance, and situation awareness need to be possessed jointly. In the first development phase (basis type) of the Korean joint tactical data link system (JTDLS-K), essential tactical information and recognized situation are owned among platforms in common by using existing wireless terminals. In the second development phase (completion type) of the JTDLS-K, a JTDLS which can perform network centric warfare (NCW) will be developed in due consideration of technology development of the basis type and common technology maturity degree. This is a joint battlefield system that can show fighting power simultaneous and polysynthetically through providing command and control messages effectively to each platform, which is participating in the joint and combined operations. In this paper, the development of JTDLS-K with a common data processor based on common link integration processing (CLIP) is described. From the test results of the system presented in this paper, it is demonstrated that quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) signals can be applied to the system.

Recently, as the tactical environment has changedto one of network-centric warfare, where all components are connected through a network, much emphasis has been placed on the use of an artificial satellite for achieving high communication speeds. To provide a high-quality artificial satellite link, stabilization is very important in a platform. Previous stabilization control techniques used PI control, which is commonly used for vessels. However, for ground terminals that require a higher communication speed, the antenna should move faster to track an artificial satellite within a short period of time. Moreover, the terminals must be equipped with proper sensors and algorithms so that they can detect and compensate for external disturbances while tracking the artificial satellite. In this study, through the analysis of the dynamic model of an antenna system, a stabilization algorithm for ground terminals was proposed;this algorithm shows high isolation performance in the low-frequency range and includes $PI^2$ control.
