  • 전쟁양상이 네트워크 중심 전으로 발전되기 위해서는 기동중에도 멀티미디어 등 대용량의 정보를 실시간으로 소통할 수 있는 정보통신기반체계가 필수적으로 요구된다. 이러한 기반을 구축하기 위해 개발 중인 전술정보통신체계(TICN: Tactical Information and Communication Network)의 부체계 중 하나인 전술이동통신체계는 이동하는 전장가입자에게 음성서비스이외 전장상황 공유를 위한 대용량의 데이터 서비스를 제공해야 하므로, 주파수 효율성이 좋은 Mobile WiMAX 기술을 기반으로 구현되었다. 구현된 장비는 전장 환경과 비슷한 산악지형의 테스트베드에 설치되어서 운용 가능성을 검증하였다. 본고에서는 Mobile WiMAX기반의 전술이동통신체계의 가용성을 확인하기 위해 수행한 이론적인 분석과 테스트베드에서 확인한 성능에 대해 소개한다.

  • This paper presents a novel hybrid authentication scheme in the next-generation Tactical Mobile Communication Systems(TMCS) with wireless MSAP mesh networks. The existing centralized and distributed authentication methods for security between MSAPs may have their pros and cons. The centralized authentication method induces overhead from frequent MSAP association which leads to long authentication delay. On the other hand, the distributed authentication method requires initial sharing of the authentication information. Therefore, a more efficient authentication scheme is needed to protect the network from malicious MSAPs and also maximize efficiency of the network security. The proposed scheme provides a hybrid method of efficiently managing the authentication keys in the wireless MSAP mesh network to reduce the induced authentication message exchange overhead. Also, as the authentication method between MSAP and TMFT is different, a method of utilizing the ACR for handling the EAP packets is proposed. In overall, the proposed scheme provides efficient mutual authentication between MSAPs especially for tactical environments and is analyzed through performance evaluation to prove its superiority.

  • This paper's aim is to suggest the Expert System for analyzing relative combat power in ground operations. Since relative combat power analysis in terms of comparing combat power of friendly forces with one of the enemy can determine how the commander and staffs operate their unit afterwards, it requires fast and rational decision-making process. However, it has relied on manual method so far though Tactical Information Communications Network(TICN) into which numbers of applications can be loaded has been developed over a decade. 3 methods for analyzing relative combat power were expressed as mathematic rules to be used knowledge in the expert system after reviewing previous studies, and it studied how intangible power as well as tangible were reflected on total combat power. The expert system that will be built using EXSYS Corvid tool is expected to lessen error rate, provide faster decision-making, and reflect both intangible combat power and tangible one by using an appropriate weights in analyzing relative combat power. Next research filed includes how to build expert systems related with military personnel and intelligence areas for fast and rational decision-making processes.
