The present invention is mounted on TICN (Tactical Information Communication Network) equipment, receives power status information through communication with the TICN equipment, and displays the power status information for each power status item, providing stable operation to the communication equipment of the Tactical Information Communication Network (TICN). It is about an integrated power control and diagnosis system that can not only supply power to the Tactical Information and Communication System (TICN), but also check and monitor the status of the power equipment of the Tactical Information and Communication System (TICN) in real time.

As is well known, the Tactical Information Communication Network (TICN) is a high-speed wired and wireless communication system that digitally integrates military communication networks through which large-capacity data is transmitted and received, and provides military command and control using technologies such as WiBro and microwave. It is possible to connect wired or wirelessly to a weapon control system.

After World War I, tactical communication technology began to be developed in earnest after realizing the impact of communication between operational units on the battlefield on the outcome of battle, and is currently making rapid progress. Currently, the tactical information and communication system (TICN) on the battlefield is a reconnaissance satellite. , Through the real-time transmission of numerous large amounts of information data captured by aircraft, etc., weapon systems in the air, sea, and land are connected into a single network to enable strategic command and control.

Meanwhile, the Tactical Information and Communication System (TICN), which is responsible for communication within a specific range, supports mobile communication around the command center and can be composed of a mobile base station (MSAP) mounted on a vehicle, a VoIP switch (TIPS), and a small-capacity wireless transmission system. , can support base station installation in multiple operational areas.

In addition, in the case of secondary batteries, although they are expensive equipment, separate information cannot be confirmed, resulting in many complete discharges or errors, and the lack of smooth maintenance for safety reasons, which incurs a lot of costs. Since various power status information corresponding to the secondary battery can be easily checked, secondary battery maintenance can be performed effectively.

Meanwhile, the power control device mounted on conventional TICN equipment has a display device, but not only is it impossible to determine the overall power flow or situation without directly checking the display device with the naked eye, but only when a problem occurs can measures be taken. Therefore, while its usability for preventive maintenance is low, in the present invention, power status information of various equipment mounted on TICN equipment can be checked and monitored in real time.

In addition, repair parts for the power control device mounted on conventional TICN equipment are steadily being supplied to the field, but due to a lack of information on the faulty part, the faulty part is predicted in the field based on empirical judgment and carried out in a random replacement method, resulting in unnecessary maintenance. On the other hand, in the present invention, various power states of the TICN equipment can be checked and identified in advance, thereby preventing unnecessary maintenance time from occurring.
