Drone based Magnetic Anomaly Detection measure a magnetic anomaly signal from the ferromagnetic target on the ground. We conduct a magnetic anomaly detection with 9 ferromagnetic targets on the ground. By removing the magnetic field measured in the absence of ferromagnetic targets from the experimental value, the magnetic anomaly signal is clearly measured at an altitude of 100 m. We analyze the signal characteristics by the ferromagnetic target through simulation using COMSOL multiphysics. The simulation results are within the GPS error range of the experimental results.

The COVID-19 pandemic is not over despite the emergency use authorization as can see recent COVID-19 daily confirmed cases. The viruses are not only difficult to diagnose and treat due to random mutations, but also pose threat human being because they have the potential to be exploited as biochemical weapons by genetic manipulation. Therefore, it is inevitable to the rapid antibody-based therapeutic platform to quickly respond to future pandemics by new/re-emerging viruses. Although numerous researches have been conducted for the fast development of antibody-based therapeutics, it is sometimes hard to respond rapidly to new viruses because of complicated expression or purification processes for antibody production. In this study, a novel rapid antibody-based therapeutic platform using single B cell sorting method and mRNA-antibody. High immunogenicity was caused to produce antibodies in vivo through mRNA-antigen inoculation. Subsequently, antigen-specific antibody candidates were selected and obtained using isolation of B cells containing antibody at the single cell level. Using the antibody-based therapeutic platform system in this study, it was confirmed that novel antigen-specific antibodies could be obtained in about 40 days, and suggested that the possibility of rapid response to new variant viruses.

In the future battlefield centered on the concept of mosaic warfare, the need for an unmanned combat system will increase to value human life. It is necessary for Multiple/Heterogeneous Unmanned Combat Systems to have suitable mission planning method in order to perform various mission. In this paper, we propose the MTSR model for mission planning of the unmanned combat system, and introduce a method of identifying a task by a combination of services using a request operator and a method of allocating resources to perform a task using the requested service. In order to verify the performance of the proposed task-resource matchmaking algorithm, simulation using occupation scenarios is performed and the results are analyzed.

This report describes the test results of decontamination of Bacillus atrophaeus spores. The spore solution at 10⁹ cfu/mL concentration was treated with chemical decontaminants, hydrogen peroxide, DF-200, sodium dichloroisocyanurate(NaDCC), and perasasfe. DF-200 was not suitable for decontamination of the spore solution. Among them, the optimal decontamination reaction conditions of perasafe and NaDCC were established from test tube experiments in a mL-scale, and they were validated in a bio-reaction system in a L-scale. The optimal conditions of perasafe and NaDCC were 1.0 % of concentration with 5 minutes of reaction time and 0.3 % of concentration with 10 minutes of reaction time, respectively. Also, both decontaminants required adequate agitation for decontamination. The results in the bio-reaction system were similar with the results from the smaller scale using test tubes, showing that the optimal conditions from the smaller scale experiments can be applied to the larger scale.

The defense IT master plan is the plan for promoting defense informatization and is established by the Ministry of National Defense every five years. In addition, an implementation plan has been established in accordance with the master plan every year to promote the informatization project. However, since there is no systematic methodology to check and analyze the master plan comprehensively, it is difficult to judge whether the goals suggested in the master plan are achieved, and continuous monitoring of the project is limited. This study proposes a concept and framework for defense IT investment management and proposes a methodology for examining and analyzing the progress of the defense IT plan by referring to the U.S. Department of Defense's IT Plan and the performance management structure of the national IT master plan. As a methodology for managing defense IT investment, we propose an IT investment management code system from the perspective of an IT portfolio and verify its applicability through case studies. The results of this study are expected to improve the defense IT performance management system and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the defense IT project.

The defense M&S system, which has been classified as a weapon system between requirements determination and project implementation, is being developed by applying the weapon system development procedure of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration. The M&S system abstracts and models the real world to suit the intended use and proceeds with the process of developing it as a software-oriented system. Overseas, the conceptual model development stage is staged before entering the design stage after the requirements analysis. In addition, each step includes verification and validation processes. In Korea, while establishing and applying the weapon system development procedure based on the SE process, the M&S system is also applied in the same way as the general weapon system, limiting appropriate development outputs and verification and validation. In this study, the system development procedure of the M&S system is established and presented based on the relevant standards and SE process of developed countries.

The ship wake generated by rotation of the propeller yields changes of characteristics of sound wave such as attenuation and scattering. To develope a battle field environment simulator for military purposes, it is very important to understand acoustical properties of ship wake. Existing research results have limitations in direct application because they performed under simple conditions or model ships were applied. In this study, we developed a ship wake generation model based on the ship's geometric wake distribution theory. The model can provide spatial distribution and void fraction with various marine environments as well as ship size. Through the developed model, geometric distribution features of ship wake according to the ship's maneuvering conditions were successfully simulated. In addition, changes of the bubble void fraction with time at any location within the battle field environment were identified. Therefore, the developed model is expected to be used in the development of a simulator to measure the acoustic characteristics of the ship wake.

There has been necessity to supplement the fin database to improve the accuracy of low-fidelity aerodynamic solver for missile configuration. In this study, fin database is expanded by in-house solver, utilized in the triservice data the previously established into regions beyond means of CFD. Fin alone data of CFD analysis results in the original region is matched well with triservice data originated from the wind tunnel tests. Extensive fin aerodynamic data from CFD analysis is added to the existing database of the low-fidelity solver. For confirmation, aerodynamic characteristics of body-tail and body-canard-tail missile configurations is computed using upgraded low-fidelity solver at transonic region. The result using improved solver shows good agreements with wind tunnel test and CFD analysis results, which implies that it becomes more accurate.

In the air power, UAVs have played a large and diversified role in performing missions from simple to high-level complex ones. In particular, the suppression of enemy air defenses(SEAD) is very dangerous for a pilot so it is expected that the manned-unmanned teaming(MUM-T) system with tailless stealthy unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) will greatly enhance effectiveness of the mission while ensuring the pilot safe. This paper describes simulation studies of remote airborne control(RAC) environment for performing the SEAD mission by MUM-T, by which the air force pilot remotely controls tailless UAVs individually or small UAVs in swarm. Through this simulation, air force pilot can derive the concept of MUM-T mission operation with various UAVs in the future, and it can be used to upgrade the MUM-T system by verifying the effectiveness of the mission.
