Variable Message Format(VMF) is a communications protocol that allows computers to exchange tactical military information over low-data-rate bearers. VMF is designed to define message length and structure variably in order to allow the user to transmit only the relevant information by using indicators. However, flexibility of messages makes it difficult to analyze messages structure and figure out meanings. Furthermore, whenever messages are added or modified, message processing software should be updated and distributed to systems. In this paper, we propose a systematic approach to defining VMF messages that uses the international standard notation ASN.1. By describing VMF messages in ASN.1, protocol architects can deal with VMF messages accurately and conveniently, and use various ASN.1 tool. This paper develops ASN.1 description templates for VMF message segments, and presents an approach to describing VMF messages in ASN.1 by combining the templates.

현대 미래전에서 디지털화된 네트워크 중심의 합동작전을 수행하기 위하여 NCW가 중요한 이슈로 대두되고 있다. 미군에서는 NCW를 구현하기 위하여 다양한 분야에 기술개발을 집중적으로 투자하고 있으며, 특히 감시체계에서 타격체계에 이르기까지 물흐르듯이 정보 유통을 보장하기 위하여 VMF 전술데이터링크를 개발하여 운용 중에 있다. 그리고 기존 무기체계의 다양한 전술데이터 링크를 표준화된 VMF 전술데이터링크로 점진적으로 전환 중에 있다. 한국군도 이러한 전장양상에 대비하고 NCW를 조기에 구현하고 복합 무기체계간에 상호운용성을 확보하기 위하여 한국형 VMF 전술데이터링크 기술개발을 추진 중에 있다. 본 고에서는 무기체계간의 원할한 정보유통을 보장하기 위하여 소요되는 미군의 VMF 전술데이터링크 기술을 분석하고, 한국군 환경에 적합한 한국형 VMF 전술데이터링크 확보방안에 대하여 기술한다.

In processing space geodetic data, mapping functions are used to convert the tropospheric signal delay along the zenith direction to the line of sight direction. In this study, we compared three mapping functions by evaluating their effects on the tropospheric signal delay and position estimates in GPS data processing. The three mapping functions tested are Niell Mapping Function (NMF), Vienna Mapping Function 1 (VMF1), and Global Mapping Function (GMF). The tropospheric delay and height estimates from VMF1 and GMF are compared with the ones obtained with NMF. The differences among mapping functions show annual signals with the maximum occurring in February or August. To quantitatively estimate the discrepancies among mapping functions, we calculated the maximum difference and the amplitude using a curve fitting technique. Both the maximum difference and amplitude have high correlations with the latitude of the site. Also, the smallest difference was found around $30^{\circ}N$ and the amplitudes increase toward higher latitudes. In the height estimates, the choice of mapping function did not significantly affect the vertical velocity estimate, and the precision of height estimates was improved at most of the sites when VMF1 or GMF was used instead of NMF.

In this paper, we presented the result of the study on high-power handling capability of the X-band circular waveguide cavity filter configured at the output of high power amplifier(120 W) for geostationary satellites. The dual mode circular waveguide cavity filter with 6th order is selected and the physical model of the filter is designed after determination of the size of resonator from mode chart. Multipactor margin analysis is performed by the SEM method and the VMF method. The result shows that the VMF method predicts lower multipactor breakdown thresholds than the SEM method. Evaluating the multipactor margin obtained by the VMF method to ECSS criteria, we could decide to perform multipactor test. The multipactor test conducted in ESA facility shows that multipactor did not occur even until the RF power increased up to 540 W. In consequence, by both analysis and test, we could verify that the X-band circular waveguide cavity filter has the sufficient high-power handling capability to operate on orbit.

In this paper, we analyses transmission performance of communication security(COMSEC) bit synchronization information over the single channel found and airborne radion system in variable message format system. Experimental results demonstrate the robust characteristics of the COMSEC bit synchronization information in $10^{-1}\sim10^{-5}$ of bit error channel and the relationship of time duration of bit synchronization and probability of synchronization detection.

Magnetic nerve stimulation treatment is much backward real condition than other field. Specially, successful medical treatment introduction of magnetic field (MF) can was refered long ago in Avicenna's work, and is thought as age of medicine magnetology development recently. These development is achieved through biologist and biophysicist and clinician's joint effort, but, new mountings and relationship air tassel are developed steadily. Magnetic nerve stimulation treatment field designs treatment system by each function during long wave high-amplitude (traditional magneto therapy of greatly great that strong that) short time that CMF, VMF, PMF field etc. are representative but are HPMT technology in this research and manufacture and special quality did comparative analysis.

During the ground operation of Korean army, the voice message is mainly used for exchanging informations related to the surveillance and reconnaissance, command and control, and precision strike. However, in order to the battlefield visualization among fighting powers participating in the ground force operation, automatic situational awareness and variable message format (VMF) for command and control are required. For securing core technologies necessary for the battlefield visualization, message standard and message handler are established through several applied researches. Besides, the VMF for equipping a weapon system is in development. In this paper, a study on the Korean variable message format (KVMF), where interoperability of integrated battle management system (BMS) is guaranteed due to performing joint, ground, and combined operations so that the situation awareness and strike system can be automated in almost real time, is presented. From the modeling and simulation (M&S) results of the message processor, delay time is varied in accordance with the number of nodes in unit platoon network, message length, and generation interval of routine messages. Therefore, it is shown that the system performance can be optimized by establishing proper network protocol for each situation.

The performance of up-to-date mapping functions and various mean temperature equations were analyzed to derive optimal mapping function and mean temperature equation when GNSS precipitable water vapor (PWV) was investigated in the Korean Peninsula. Bernese GNSS Software 5.2, which can perform high precision GNSS data processing, was used for accurate analysis, and zenith total delay (ZTD) required to calculate PWV was estimated via the Precise Point Positioning (PPP) method. GNSS, radiosonde, and meteorological data from 2009 to 2014 were acquired from Sokcho Observatory and used. ZTDs estimated by applying the global mapping function (GMF) and Vienna mapping function 1 (VMF1) were compared with each other in order to evaluate the performance of the mapping functions. To assess the performance of mean temperature equations, GNSS PWV was calculated by using six mean temperature equations and a difference with radiosonde PWV was investigated. Conclusively, accuracy of data processing was improved more when using VMF1 than using GMF. A mean temperature equation proposed by Wu (2003) had the smallest difference with that in the radiosonde in the analysis including all seasons. In summer, a mean temperature equation proposed by Song & Grejner-Brzezinska (2009) had the closest results with that of radiosonde. In winter, a mean temperature equation proposed by Song (2009) showed the closest results with that of radiosonde.
