AB  - This study proposes a design and implementation technique for a network performance testing tool to evaluate network performance in naval ship systems. The proposed implementation technique measures the network performance among nodes, including network equipment that constitutes each system within the naval ship. The naval ship network is composed of numerous network devices and various nodes that perform missions, exchanging tactical and operational information between nodes. Network communication issues play a crucial role in operational situations, so it is necessary to ensure the network’s reliability through various tests in advance. This study defined requirements from the characteristics of the naval ship network for the verification of network performance and proposed a design and implementation technology for a testing tool that satisfies these requirements. In this study, the proposed network testing tool was tested by simulating an actual naval ship network environment, and the results were confirmed. Using the proposed testing tool, it is possible to conduct a preliminary test of the naval ship network status, secure the stability of the network structure, and predict its availability.
