This paper presents a multi-sensor data simulator and a data fusion algorithm for tracking high dynamic flight target from Radar and Telemetry System. The designed simulator generates time-asynchronous multiple sensor data with different data rates and communication delays. Measurement noises are incorporated by using realistic sensor models. The proposed fusion algorithm is designed by a 21st order distributed Kalman Filter which is based on the PVA model with sensor bias states. A fault detection and correction logics are included in the algorithm for bad data and sensor faults. The designed algorithm is verified by using both simulation data and actual real data.

In this paper, we proposed an enhanced monopulse MIMO radar system for the tactical scenario where the ground receivers are connected wireless backhaul and closely spaced. By applying the ${\alpha}{\beta}$ filter to the conventional monopulse MIMO radar, we show that the localization performance can be improved significantly. We also propose an efficient localization algorithm for a system with lower rate feedback. Using numerical simulations, we demonstrate that the proposed scheme can improve the localization performance while reducing the feedback over conventional scheme.

Estimating the mutual time delay between two acoustic sensors is used in various fields such as tracking and estimating the location of a target in room acoustics and sonar. In the time delay estimation methods, there are a non-parametric method, such as Generalized Cross Correlation (GCC), and a parametric method based on system identification. In this paper, we propose a time delay estimation method based on the parametric method. In particular, we propose a method that considers the noise in each receiving acoustic sensor. Simulation confirms that the proposed algorithm is superior to the existing generalized cross-correlation and adaptive eigenvalue analysis methods in white noise and reverberation environments.

The asynchronous bistatic sonar needs to estimate direct blast arrival time at a receiver to localize targets, and therefore the direct blast arrival time estimation error could be added to target localization error in comparison with synchronous system. Direct blast especially appears as several peaks at the matched filter output by multipath, thus we compared the first peak detection technique and the maximum peak detection technique of those peaks for direct blast arrival time estimation through sea trial data. The test was performed in a shallow sea with bistatic sonar made up of spatially separated source and line array sensors. Line array sensors obtained the target signal which is generated from the echo repeater. As a result, the first peak detection technique is superior to maximum peak detection technique in direct blast arrival time estimation error. The result of this analysis will be used for further research of target tracking in the asynchronous bistatic sonar.

In this paper, a simulation test bed is presented which operates to provide full-scale simulation of airborne multi-function phased array radars. This simulation test bed provides a capability to evaluate the target tracking performance. To realize aircraft operation scenario, we developed 6DOF aircraft dynamics model which can generate trajectories and attitude of an aircraft. This procedure includes steady state flight trim search, autopilot design, and aircraft guidance command design. Also, the radar-environment integrated simulator includes target detection/measurement model and tracking filter. Developed simulator is validated by creating an air-to-air scenario.

This paper describes the results of the development of the submarine Free Running Model (FRM). First, the goal of development was set based on the test conditions and the test environment, and the system was obtained accordingly. The target submarine, Joubert BB2 submarine, was selected with a scale of 18.35 in accordance with the development goal. In order to conduct a submarine FRM test underwater, where communication is impossible, the FRM must operate at least semi-autonomously. For this purpose, an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) based underwater integrated navigation system and control system using a sailplane and an X-shaped sternplane were designed respectively. In addition, a ballast system was designed to enable the model to float to the water surface in case of an emergency. To verify its propulsion, navigation, and control performance, the FRM tests were conducted in both indoor and outdoor basins. As a result, the relationship between propeller RPM and vehicle speed was derived, and it was confirmed that the navigation and control performance met the target value.

본 논문에서는 한 쌍의 센서를 이용하여 미지의 수중 음향 신호의 시간지연의 차 (Time Delay Difference)를 추정하고 탐지하는 알고리즘을 다루고 있다. 전형적인 시간지연 차의 최적화 추정 기법은 두 신호의 상관관계(Cross Correlation)에 의한 ML(Maximum likelihood)추정으로 구할 수 있지만, 실제 수중 음향 환경 하에서 시간 지연뿐만 아니라 표 적의 이동에 의하여 발생하는 도플러 효과로 신호의 주파수도 변하게 된다. 이러한 신호 주 파수의 올바른 고려 없이 단순히 두 신호의 시간지연만을 추정하는 방법은 불가피한 에러를 생성하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 시시각각 변하는 시간지연의 차를 구하기 위한 준 최적화 기 법인 확률분포 함수의 Recursive Filter에 시간 지연 차와 도플러효과의 2차원 확률분포 함 수를 적용한 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 관측된 신호의 리샘플링(Resampling)을 통하여 도 플러 효과를 보상한 후 2차원 Conditional likelihood를 구하고 Projection과 Correction 과정 을 통하여 시간지연과 도플러 효과에 대한 사후확률을 구한다. 그리고 이러한 알고리즘을 가상 시나리오에 대한 모의실험을 통하여 평가한다.

This paper describes and analyzes a various generation methods of the mutually orthogonal polyphase sequences with low cross-correlation peak sidelobe and low autocorrelation peak sidelobe levels. The mutual orthogonality is the key requirement of multi-static or MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Output) radar systems which provides the good target detection and tracking performance. The polyphase sequences, which are generated by SA(Simulated Annealing) and GA(Genetic Algorithm), have been analyzed with ACF(Autocorrelation Function) PSL(Peak Sidelobe Level) and CCF(Crosscorrelation Function) level at the matched filter output. Also, the ambiguity function has been introduced and simulated for comparing Doppler properties of each sequence. We have suggested the phase selection rule for applying multi-static or MIMO systems.

본 논문에서는 비선형 기동표적의 추적에 대한 새로운 접근 방식을 소개한다. 이 논문에서는 표적의 가속도를 시변 변수인 표적의 추가적인 잡음으로 두고 각각의 가속도 간격의 정도에 따라 얻어지는 모든 잡음에 대한 변수에 의해 각각의 하부 모델들을 특성화시켰다. 표적의 기동중에 나타나는 가속도를 효과적으로 다루기 위하여, 잡음의 크기가 급격히 증가할 경우 증가분을 가속도로 인식하여 기동표적 관계식에 이용하였다. 또한 모르는 가속도에 따른 시변 변수를 적응적으로 어립잡기는 어렵기 때문에 정밀한 계산을 위하여 퍼지 뉴럴 네트워크와 적응 상호작용 다중모델 기법을 이용하였다. 퍼지 뉴럴 네트워크의 동정을 위해서는 오차 역전파 학습법을 사용하였다. 그리고 제안된 알고리즘의 수행 가능성을 보여주기 위하여 몇 가지 예를 제시하였다.
