This research paper on Tac-ELINT SW development method using M&S system describes the validation and verification methods of Tac-ELINT ground operating software development each stages, and the method of improving reusability of software using SBD(Simulation Based Design/Development) concept. In this project, We obtain the EW software SBD technologies and improved Tac-ELINT ground operating software through software crisis mitigation. This method and technology will expect to support a future EW system and any other various weapon software development.
In order to study air traffic control of UAS’s (Unmanned Aerial Systems) in very low altitudes, the UTM (UAS Traffic Management) simulator has to be as flexible and expandable as other research simulators because relevant technologies and regulations are not matured enough at this stage. Available approaches using open sources and platforms are investigated to be used in the UTM simulator. The fundamental rationale for selection is availability of necessary resources to build a UTM simulator. Integration efforts to build a UTM simulator are elaborated, using Ardupilot, MavProxi, Cesium, and VWorld, which are selected from the thorough field study. Design requirements of a UTM simulator are determined by analyzing UTM services defined by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and Eurocontrol. The UTM simulator, named eUTM, is composed of three components: UOS (UTM Operating System), UTM, and multiple GCSs (Ground Control Stations). GCSs are responsible for generation of flight paths of various UASs. UTM component copies functions of a real UTM such as monitoring and controlling air spaces. UOS provides simulation of environment such as weather, and controls the whole UTM simulator system. UOS also generates operation scenarios of UTM, and resides on the same UTM computer as an independent process. Two GCS simulators are connected to the UTM simulator in the present configuration, but the UTM simulator can be expanded to include up to 10 GCS simulators in the present design. In order to demonstrate the flexibility and expandability of eUTM simulator, several operation scenarios are realized and typical deconfliction scenarios among them are tested with a deconfliction algorithm. During the study, some limits are identified with applied open sources and platforms, which have to be resolved in order to obtain a flexible and expandable UTM simulator supporting relevant studies. Most of them are related to interfacing individual sources and platforms which use different program languages and communication drivers.
We research and develop a SW-based virtual testing product that can be commonly used in the design/ development of non-communication EW systems before the production of physical test products. Through this study, we have developed M&S technology to improve the accuracy of EW weapon system analysis/design and to verify and predict the performance of EW equipment, and to develop proven engineering module models and model base systems. It proposes a technology to build an EW M&S framework that can flexibly link/integrate various engineering/engage-level EW heterogeneous M&S systems.
