In electronic warfare settings, battlefield helicopters identify various threats based upon threat data, which are acquired using their multi-sensors of aircraft survivability equipment (ASE). To continually function despite of potential threats and successfully execute their missions, the battlefield helicopters have to repeatedly report threats in simulated battlefield situations. Toward this ends, the paper presents threat unification using multi-sensor simulator and its implementation. The simulator consists of (1) threat attributes generator, which models threats against battlefield helicopters and defines their specific attributes, (2) threat data generator, which generates threats, being similar to real ones, using normal, uniform, and exponential distributions, and (3) graphic display for threat analysis and unification, which shows unified threat information, for example, threat angle and its level. We implement a multi-sensor threat simulator that can be repeatedly operable in various simulated battlefield settings. Further, we report experimental results that, in addition to tangibly modeling the threats to battlefield helicopters, test the capabilities of threat unification using our simulator.

In this study, in order to test the performance of the aircraft system, a threat signal simulator that can transmit a signal similar to the actual threat to the aircraft under test with high power was designed. The high-power threat signal simulator should be able to transmit broadband (UHF band, L band, S band, X band) communication signals and radar signals, and control to transmit signals accurately directed to the aircraft through interfacing tracking radar. The signal strength of the developed equipment is 63 dBm to 93 dBm or more depending on type of signal, and the tracking precision is less than 0.1 degree, which satisfies the required performance. And it was confirmed that the antenna of the high-power threat signal simulator can accurately direct the signal to the aircraft position through the tracking radar interfacing.

A threat of the EMP(Electromagnetic Pulse) is recently increasing, so the development of electromagnetic security technology against the EMP is needed. However, the state of the domestic electromagnetic security technology against the EMP is lower level than the foreign. In this paper, the bounded-wave EMP simulator antenna for the development of electromagnetic security technology against a threat of the EMP is designed. The structure of the designed antenna is from a sort of the basic form of the bounded-wave EMP simulator such as a parallel-plate simulator for testing EMP immunity performance within the EUT(Equipment Under Test). The design processes of the designed simulator is including wave launcher, transmission line and termination taper. In the working volume of the designed antenna, the test object within 30 cm is forming predominant TEM field, so it is confirmed that the designed EMP simulator antenna can be used as the EMP simulator.

Navigation simulators have been used in many marine schools and manne training centers since the early 1960's. But these simulators were very expens~ve and were almost limited only in one engine system. In this paper, a catamaran with twin engine system. controlled by two remote control levers and its economic simulator based on a personal computer shall be introduced. One of the main features of catamaran is to control variously its progressing direction. In the static state, a catamaran can move into all the directions and in the dynamic state, ship can change immediately the heading and speed. Although a good navigator can skillfully operate one engine system, it is difficult to control smoothly the catamaran of twin engine system without any threat for the safety of passengers. Thus. in order to bring up the expert navigators. the development of a simulator which makes the training effective is necessary, Therefore, in this paper, a Fuzzy Inference Technique based Maneuvering Simulator for catamaran with twin engine system was developed. In general. in order to develop a catamaran simulator for effective training, first of all. its mathematical model must be acquired. According to the acquired system modeling. the dynamics of simulator is determined, But the proposed technique can omit a complex and tedious mathematical modeling procedures by using the fuzzy inference, which dependent upon only experiences of an expert and can design an efficient training program for unskillful navigators. This developed simulator was consisted of two fuzzy inference routines and two remote control levers, and was focused on effective training of navigators for the safe maneuvering to avoid a collision in a harbor.

While radar operator recognizes and tracks threat targets through the scope, it is essential to overcome the jamming signal that disturbs the normal operation of the radar. Therefore, to train operator and test the EW capability of the radar, this paper proposed the jamming signal simulation algorithm and design results to generate the deception jamming(range, velocity, angle deception and multiple false targets) and noise jamming signals(spot, barrage, swept spot and cover pulse noise). And also, the radar jamming signal simulator composed of the 6 constituents is developed on basis of the proposed algorithm and digital circuit design technique and confirmed the validity of the developed simulator by means of the test results to generate the various jamming signal.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate effect of driver's cognitive distraction on driver's physiological state and driving performance, and then to determine parameters appropriate for detecting the cognitive distraction. Background: Driver distraction is a major cause of traffic accidents and poses a serious threat to traffic safety due to ever increasing use of in-vehicle information systems and mobile phones during driving. Cognitive distraction, among four different types of distractions, prevents a driver from processing traffic information correctly and adapting to change in surround vehicle behavior in time. However, the cognitive distraction is more difficult to detect because it normally does not involve significant change in driver behavior. Method: A full-scale driving simulator was used to create virtual driving environment and situations. Participants in the experiment drove the driving simulator in three different conditions: attentive driving with no secondary task, driving and conducting secondary task of adding numbers, and driving and conducting secondary task of conversing with an experimenter. Parameters related with driver's physiological state and driving performance were measured and analyzed for their change. Results: The experiment results show that driver's cognitive distraction, induced by secondary task of addition and conversation during driving, increased driver's cognitive workload, and indeed brought change in driver's physiological state and degraded driving performance. Conclusion: The galvanic skin response, pupil size, steering reversal rate, and driver reaction time are shown to be statistically significant for detecting cognitive distraction. The appropriate combination of these parameters will be used to detect the cognitive distraction and estimate risk of traffic accidents in real-time for a driver distraction warning system.

To cope with the explosive growth of traffic which is considered as one of the most biggest threat to current mobile communication systems, various solutions such as small cell and device-to-device communication have been exploited. Directional transmission in which transmission power of base station is focused onto the direction where the mobile station is located, can be used to increase throughput of the system. In this work, we develop a system-level simulator for cellular mobile communication systems using directional transmission and adaptive interference estimation scheme for directional transmission has been proposed. By using the developed simulator, the performance of cellular mobile communication systems with directional transmission is examined. Moreover, it is shown that the overall throughput of cellular system can be improved by utilizing directional transmission.

The roll- and pitch-induced eddy currents create a magnetic field that contributes to the total magnetic signature of naval vessels. The magnetic signature is of concern, as it exposes the ship to the threat of modern influence mines. It is estimated that the eddy current is the second most important source contributing to a ship's underwater magnetic field following the ferromagnetic effect. In the present paper, the finite element (FE) method is used to predict the eddy current signature of a real ship. The FE model is validated using the measurements of the Canadian research vessel CFAV QUEST at the Earth's Field Simulator (EFS) in Schirnau, Germany. Modeling and validation of the eddy current magnetic signature for a real ship represents a novelty in the field. It is shown that the characteristics of this signature depend on frequency. Based on these results, a ship's degaussing system could be improved to cancel both the ferromagnetic and the eddy current contribution to the magnetic signature simultaneously, reducing the susceptibility to sea mines.

In the field of civil aviation in Korea, inappropriate crew resources management(CRM) constantly occurs between captains and first officers during flight. Therefore, the active role of first officers is emphasized in pilot training for CRM, threat & error management(TEM), safety management system(SMS), fatigue risk management system(FRMS), and training in simulators. Thus, it is urgent for captains to change their transformational leadership to emotional leadership, advantages of which include horizontal interpersonal relationship, open-mindedness, leading by example, considerateness, mutual respect, and using informal language. For the direction to improve 'the cockpit culture' in civil aviation, the key idea of the current thesis paper is the influence of captains' transformational and emotional leadership on the emotions of first officers.
