Abstract

The maritime ICT-convergence equipment are essentially required to a type approval (TA) certification that needs environmental and functional tests, to install in vessel. The environmental test is to experiment the possession for required durabilities of the target device in maritime environment, and the functional test is to check the required functions of target equipment based on international standard. In Korea, the environmental testing facilities amount to 227 sites, but there is no functional testing facility. Because of this, we establish a function test facility for the maritime ICT-equipment. In this paper, we analyze and design the functional testing requirement and required interlocking simulators for digital interfaces and navigation communication equipment. We propose the 2-steps of functional testing procedures, which are single test and integration test, to improve the reliability of testing result. The single test is to examine own functions of the target device, and the integration test is to check harmonized operation with other navigation and communication devices.

선박 ICT융합 장비를 개발하여 선박에 탑재하기 위해서는 형식승인이 필수적으로 이루어져야 하며, 이를 위해서는 환경시험과 기능시험이 요구된다. 환경시험은 대상 장비가 선박 및 해상환경에서 동작하기 위해 요구되는 내구성을 만족하는지 시험하는 것을 의미하며, 기능시험은 대상 장비가 국제표준을 준수하여 고유 기능을 정확하게 수행하는지 시험하는 것을 의미한다. 국내 선박 ICT융합 장비에 대한 환경시험 가능 기관은 227여 곳에 달하는 반면, 기능시험 가능 기관은 전무한 실정이다. 이러한 이유로 현재 선박 ICT융합 장비 기능시험 시설을 구축 중에 있으며, 본 논문에서는 우선적으로 추진 중인 선박 디지털 인터페이스 및 항해통신장비의 기능시험 체계의 개발에 관한 내용을 다룬다. 주요 내용은 대상 장비의 기능시험을 단일 테스트 및 통합 테스트의 두 단계로 수행함으로써 시험 결과의 신뢰성을 향상시키는 것으로, 단일 테스트는 대상 장비의 고유 기능이 정상적으로 동작하는지를 확인하는 것이고, 통합 테스트는 정상적으로 다른 항해통신장비와 조화롭게 동작하는지를 검증하는 것이다. 이를 위해 단일 테스트에 요구되는 부가 연동 장비 등의 필수 기능 요소와 통합 테스트에 요구되는 연계 및 확장 요소를 분석한다.
