Abstract

Tactical Data Links are standardized radio communication data links for military armed forces and used to transmit and receive data. Because they are the core elements of achieving information superiority in a NCW environment, various kinds of TDL are used by the Korean armed forces. Operating various types of TDL is very helpful in getting more information; however, at the same time, it is hard to integrate and make them co-operate with other TDLs or C4ISR systems. In this paper, we propose a XML based messaging system to make various types of TDL interoperable in a NCW environment. For the messaging system between TDL and C4ISR systems, we define XML message processing interfaces and suggest binary XML for serialization to save transmission loads over constrained military communication bandwidth. Our experiment results show that the TDL message can be transformed into generalized XML data that is interoperable with other TDLs and binary XML serialization, and it saves parsing and transmission time.

전술데이터링크(TDL)는 전술정보 및 상황정보를 실시간으로 교환하기 위한 통신체계이며, 네트워크 중심전(NCW)에서 정보우위를 점하는데 필요한 주요 요소이다. 한국군에서도 정보우위를 위해 다양한 전술데이터링크를 사용 중이나 이러한 다양한 전술데이터링크의 사용은 전체 C4I 시스템의 통합과 다른 전술데이터링크와의 연동을 어렵게 만들어 전체 시스템의 상호운용개념에 반하게 되는 문제점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크 중심전 환경에서 다양한 전술데이터링크간의 상호운용이 가능한 XML 기반의 메시징 시스템을 제안한다. 제안 시스템은 전술데이터링크와 C4I시스템에서 사용하는 메시지와 인터페이스를 XML로 정의하여 이용한다. 그리고 제한된 네트워크 대역폭을 가지는 군 환경을 고려하여 바이너리 XML을 통해 네트워크 부담을 줄이는 것을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 실험결과를 통해 전술데이터링크 메시지가 XML 스키마에 정의된 대로 상호운용이 가능한 메시지 형태로 변환됨과 바이너리 XML serialization을 통해 파싱과 전송시간의 감소를 가져오는 것을 보여준다.
