  • 많은 무선 센서 네트워크의 연구가 진행되고 있지만, 해양 환경에서의 무선 센서 네트워크에 대한 연구는 이제 막 초기 단계에 접어들었다. 따라서 아직 모든 것이 해결해야할 과제이며. 최상의 네트워크 구조 및 네트워크를 구성하는 노드들이 정해져 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 제안된 해양 무선 네트워크의 구조를 비교 분석하고, 문제점 및 개선사항을 포함한 새로운 센서 네트워크 구조를 제안한다. 그리고 열악한 해양 환경에서의 네트워크를 구성하는데 필요한 센서, 센서 노드, 싱크 노드, 릴레이 노드, 게이트웨이 노드들의 특징을 기술한다. 특히 기존의 연구와 차별화된 릴레이 노드를 두어서 좀 더 유연하고, 연결성이 높은 네트워크를 형성하는 구조를 제안한다.

  • A side scan sonar system uses the towfish installed sonars, It is an equipment that search images of the bottom surface of the sea in real time. It is a typical equipment that is related to a sea investigation such as a geological survey, seabed communication cable and power line cable placing repair investigation, fish breeding ground investigation, sea purification, relic and mineral investigation, and mine and submarine search. It used to fined objects and investigate on the seabed surface. But, recently, it is used to sea purification and geological survey that require information of the correct surface of the seabed. So, it needs various filtering technique and image processing techniques development to acquire high resolution image. therefore, this research develops a side scan sonar using multi-beam sensors that supply various information with the fast scan speed and correct high resolution that is not a simple underwater investigation equipment.

  • Traditional methods for estimating the location of underwater target, i.e. the triangulation method and the wavefront curvature method, have been utilized. The location of a target is defined by the range and the bearing, which estimates can be obtained by evaluating the time delay between neighboring sensors. Many components of error occur in estimating the target range, among which the error due to the fluctuation of heading angle is outstanding. In this paper, the wavefront curvature method was used. We considered the error due to the heading fluctuation as the $\beta$-density process, from which we analized the range estimates with $\beta$-density function exist in some finite limits, and its mean value and variation are depicted as a function of true range and heading fluctuation. Given heading angles and sensor separation, maximum estimated heading errors are presented as a function of true range.

  • Parametric density concept is proposed for a long-range pipeline health monitoring. This concept is designed to obtain the attenuation of ultrasonic guided waves propagating in underwater pipelines without complicated calculation of attenuation dispersion curves. For the study, three different pipe materials such as aluminum, cast iron, and steel are considered, ten different transporting fluids are assumed, and four different geometric pipe dimensions are adopted. It is shown that the attenuation values based on the parametric density concept reasonably match with the attenuation values obtained from dispersion curves; hence, its efficiency is proved. With this concept, field engineers or inspectors associated with long-range pipeline health monitoring would take the advantage of easier capturing wave attenuation value, which is a critical variable to decide sensor location or sensors interval.

  • 최근 대두되고 있는 무선 센서네트워크는 지상뿐만 아니라 해양에서도 필요성이 점차 커지고 있다. 해양에서의 무선통신을 하기 위해서는 지상에서 사용하는 RF와 같이 높은 주파수를 사용할 수 없기 때문에 낮은 주파수 대역을 사용하여야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 낮은 주파수 대역을 사용하는 초음파를 센서노드에 장착하고 이들 센서 노드들의 통신 수행을 위하여 수중통신모듈을 설계 및 구현하였다. 그리고 실험을 통하여 텍스트 기반의 통신이 성공하였음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 구현된 수중통신 모듈은 추후 해양 센서네트워크 서비스를 위한 해양 센서노드 제작에 기반이 될 것이다.

  • This paper describes the operational concept of the Aegis ship's missile defense. Recently, North Korea conducted a fourth nuclear-weapon test that involved the launch of a long-range missile and the underwater launch of an SLBM. The ground-based BMD (Ballistic Missile Defense) system is very limited for the SLBM of a miniaturized nuclear warhead; therefore, it is necessary to build a reliable sea-based missile-defense system. The ROK Navy has, however, only utilized the Aegis ship that is designed with a search-and-tracking sensor but is without a ballistic-missile interception capability. Given this information, this work focuses on the operational concept of the Aegis BMD by comparing the BMD capabilities of the ROK with those of the U.S.

  • A portable apparatus mounting Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) to any small boat was developed to effectively measure currents in shallow and narrow coastal seas like the west coasts of Korea. Characteristics of the apparatus is that an underwater fish-shaped body protecting an ADCP is designed to reduce the drag during the cruise, which can be freely mounted and detached from a boat with a clamp. Several cruise outputs prove themselves that the apparatus is properly designed for the intended purpose, to minimize air bubbles and to control the submerged depth of the sensor.
