This research investigates a kill probability model for the performance evaluation of guided missile system, and also develops the user interface implementation for the output of the model based on the visual object-oriented programming application. This paper describes in detail the methodology for the kill probability attained by a missile warhead detonating near an airborne target. The major simulation events used in this research are missile guidance homing point, burst points, and kill mechanism(direct kill, blast kill and fragment kill). For the user interface, we also design and implement the visualization system that can show the graphic style of the kill probability attained by the model. This research will bridge the gap between the sophisticated kill probability model and users who want to see the results interactively with visualization, which can benefit many of other military systems. Some examples are shown, but these will be improved to be better with visual simulation which can visualize all the simulation process of the model.

This study is to develop an optimal surveillance units assignment model in order to obtain the maximized surveillance efficiency with the limited surveillance units. There are many mathematical models which deal with problems to assign weapons such as aircrafts, missiles and guns to targets. These models minimize the lost required to attack, the threat forecast from the enemy, or both of them. However, a problem of the efficient assignment of surveillance units is not studied yet, nevertbless it is important in the battlefield surveillance system. This paper is concerned with the development of the optimal surveillance units assignment model using integer programming. An optimal integer solution of the model can be obtained by using linear programming and branch and bound method.

In this paper, we consider a tow-person zero-sum game in which an attack helicopter with a missile wishes to destroy a tank. The tank has much small-caliber ammunition for protection itself from the attack helicopter. And the attack helicopter possesses a missile for attacking the tank. We develop models for the behavior of the attack helicopter, in terms of missile launch time, and of the tank, in terms of ammunition firing rate, in several situations. In particular, we examine the Weiss-Gillman model.

This paper is aimed to investigate the applicability of SMG method to the development of an object-oriented simulation software in the MODSIM II environment. SMG method is an object-oriented simulation software development method proposed by System Modeling Group(SMG), National Defense University of Korea. Through this study, we concluded that SMG method can be a powerful method for the development of object-oriented simulation software in the MODSIM II environment. However, SMG method lacks in depicting some of messages in the MODSIM II, for example, ASK method, TELL method, WAITFOR method, interrupt. In the future, SMG method is expected to extend for incorporating those things presumably by referring to Professor Baileys pictures, OOSPICs.

This study is concerned with a few models for optimal requirement level of CSP by improving and adjusting the existing models to determine CSP items and quantity as follows. First, by building a model with a objective function of the operating level and constrains of budget, quantity and items of CSP are simultaneously determined. Second, we removed some steps to improve initial solution by using a constraint of usable budget level. Third, we demonstrated a model to be applied with real operating situation by combining two models of Lee(1994) and above. Lastly, by assuming a failure probability distribution is a binomial distribution, the better solution can be obtained. Some facts with necessity of policy improvement were raised as follows: (1) necessity of improvement of the CSP acquisition system, (2) in case of the same kind, permission of diversion in order to execute budget effectively, (3) getting accurate failure rate.

This paper deals with reliability and MTTF analysis of a non-repairable man-machine system operating under different weather conditions. The system consists of a hardware(machine) and a two-operator standby subsystem such as the air combat maneuvering of fighters with dual seat. The failure times for the subsystems follow the exponential distribution with constant parameter. By considering not only the effect on hardware component but also the weather conditions and human performance factors such as the operator's errors, a Markov model is presented as a method for evaluating the system reliability of time continuous operation tasks. Laplace transforms of the various state probabilities have been derived and then reliability of the system, at any time t, has been computed by inversion process. MTTF has also been computed.

Due to the various requests from consumers and rapidly changing market, the product design is continuously changing and the new products are manufactured in various forms. To satisfy this condition, companies must make the product design robust with better quality. However, considering many parameters and increasing the level of each parameter in product design can lead us to a difficult situation. In order to solve this problem, this paper attempts to develop an algorithm that takes into account more parameters and increased level of parameters using Genetic Algorithms. As a result of this study, we can use this algorithm for designing the parameters of new product since it can search the level of parameters in more detail and wider range.

The network for proving information exchange function in distributed system is interconnected among other networks which are in the state of independent construction and operation. However, due to various network protocols and distributed applications, Problems occurred in the area of network interconnectivity and interoperability of distributed applications in internetworking which should provide a good interoperability. This paper proposed an improved method for finding route which has the highest interworkability between end-systems using the interrelationship of network protocol. An algorithm and method of constructing a virtual network which is suitable for required distributed application are also proposed in this research.

It was required Integrated Network Management Architecture(INMA) with consistency and standardization in order to support efficiently communication service for operators and users. In such ITU-T(International Telecommunication Union - Telecommunication) recommended TMN(Telecommunication Management Network) which is Network management architecture for telecommunication, and intended to achieve uniform and comprehensive network management using standardized network management interface. This paper proposes C31 management services and management functions based on ITU-T and RACE project. This designs C31 INMA based on TMN concept in order to manage efficiently C31 communication network. The C31 INMA supports to manage C31 LAN and WAN devices and lines with global and correspondence, and helps Integrated Network Management system design and implementation.

The life-cycle of the K-1 tank has been 10 years simply applying that of the U.S. M-1 tank. Therefore, this paper is focused on determination of an economic life-cycle for the K-1 tanks. The current operation cost is adjusted by interest rate and the depreciation cost is applied in this study for more reliable estimation of the life-cycle cost. The Equivalent Annual Method is utilized and then various regression techniques are applied for deriving an effective economic life-cycle. The economic life-cycle of the K-1 tank results in 13 years in this study. considering 95% confidence interval, the life cycle of the K-1 tank is between 10.5 years and 15.5 years.
