Purpose: The purpose of this study is to propose a method to calculate the optimal preventive maintenance cycle of radar used in the aviation weapon system of ROKAF. Methods: A hybrid model is used to estimate the optimal preventive maintenance cycle in a system that can perform condition based predictive maintenance (CBPM) through continuous diagnosis. The failure data of the radars operating in the military were used to calculate the reliability. Results: According to the research results, the reliability threshold of the radar began to decrease after 5 flights, and decreased rapidly after 12 flights. Since the second check, costs have continued to decline. Conclusion: A method is proposed to determine the cycle of optimal preventive maintenance of radar within operational budget through modeling results between reliability limit and cost for radar. The results can be used to determine the optimal preventive maintenance cycle and frequency of various avionics equipment.

자동사격통제기능 및 탄의 자동장전기능을 가진 최신 무기체계의 동력장치는 엔진, 변속기 및 냉각장치로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 동력장치를 정비하기 위해서는 엔진과 변속기를 결합 및 분리할 수 있는 특수공구의 사용이 필수적이다. 하지만, 기존 제품은 사용 특성에 따라 비틀림이 심하여 쉽게 마모되는 현상을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 강도저하로 인한 잦은 파손현상과 엔진 우측 연결부 조임 시 간접 현상에 자유로운 공구를 제안하고자 한다. 구조해석 프로그램(ABAQUS)을 통한 비틀림 강도 해석과 이를 바탕으로 최적 설계를 진행하여 제작된 공구는 기존 문제점을 해결하고 공인인증기관에서 토크의 130%의 비틀림 실험에서 문제없음을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과물은 동력장치 정비를 위한 특수공구의 국산화로 인한 경제적 측면에서 큰 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

The United States has implemented the TLCSM (Total Life Cycle System Management) to minimize the total lifecycle cost of aircraft and to improve operating availability. As a practical strategy, CBM + is required to be applied to new weapons systems. The F-35 aircraft applied PHM under CBM + concept from the development stage. In this study, we analyzed the technology trends, the level of PHM technology in Korea, and the development trends of foreign technology. Then, we analyzed the PHM technical elements and constructed the 5 phases of technical elements acquisition roadmap for military fixed wing aircraft parts PHM.

In the recent weapon system trend, it is required to develop small and low cost guidance missile to track and strike the enemy target effectively. Controling the such small drone typed weapon demands a integrated electronic device that equipped with not only a wireless network interface, a high resolution camera, various sensors for target tracking, and position and attitude control but also a high performance processor that integrates and processes those sensor outputs in real-time. In this paper, we propose the android smartphone as a solution for that and implement the guidance and control application of the missile. Furthermore, the performance of the implemented guidance and control application is analyzed through the simulation.

In this paper, there is a research for providing environmental data to reflect environmental effects to the simulation for the aviation weapon systems by the construction of the synthetic battlefield. The results of the aviation engagement simulation are able to differ by environmental effect. This paper analyzes the real aviation battlefield and designs the synthetic battlefield based on the analysis. In order to construct the designed synthetic battlefield, we collects the real environmental data for the atmosphere and structures the collected data using GIS (Geographic information system interpolation). The main objective of this paper is to design the synthetic battlefield based on the derived environmental factors from the analysis of the real aviation battlefield, and it constructs the designed synthetic battlefield by the collection of real atmosphere data. The constructed synthetic battlefield provides the environmental data which are requested from the distributed simulation system, and it makes the system reflect environmental effects to the simulation.

The real-time distributed simulation at the present age concentrates on the construction of a system development environment in order to accomplish a synthetic battlefield environment connected with Live-Virtual-Constructive simulation and to realize the Simulation Based Acquisition which supports the life cycle of weapon system. Accordingly this paper describes the development environment of the UML modeling and simulation which integrates the system analysis and design methods performed during the conceptual design phase of the reconnaissance UAV system development. An integrated framework linked with the UML simulation and X-plane visualization is suggested to efficiently perform the system analysis and design, and finally the implementation contents, the analysis of experiment results and concluding remarks are described.

MRO is important concept in military logistics. It is required to reforming military budget and manpower because of decreasing troops and other factors. For this reason, military logistics needs to change and improvement. MRO is necessary concept in this situation. In that case, How improve Naval Weapons Systems MRO for this changing time? For example, ROK air force applies Aerospace MRO industries in their Weapons Systems. But, ROK navy's MRO concept is uncertain and current MRO is divided just three step, Organizational Maintenance, Field Maintenance, Depot Maintenance. So it is time to develop systematic MRO concept for improving Naval Weapons Systems and Logistics. In this research, This0 study is about expanded application of PBL and the need to make relationship between Private enterprise and Military.

In modern international law, the absence of legal definition regarding drone(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) has made legal scholars work on an typical analogy between aircraft codified in the international document and drone. The wording of the Convention on International Civil Aviation is limited to two categories of aircraft, such as civil aircraft and state aircraft, whereas military aircraft is not legally defined. As such it is, the current practices of the State regarding the drone flight over foreign territory have proven a hypothese that drone is being deemed as military aircraft. Principal usage of drone lies in reconnaissance and surveillance mission as well as so-called targeted killing, which is prohibited if the killing is treacherous. Claimed war against terrorism, however, is providing a legal rationale that targeted killing is not treacherous, and that the targeted person is not civilian but combatant. In such context, armed attack of drone is deemed legal and justified. Consequently, such attack is legal in the general context of the war. The rules that govern targeting do not turn on the type of weapon system used, and there is no prohibition under the laws of war on the use of technologically advanced weapons systems in armed conflict so long as they are employed in conformity with applicable laws of war. Drones may present interesting new challenges because of their sophistication and the technological advantage they convey to their operators.

In this paper, the structural-thermal-optical performance analysis of the mirror was performed by setting the laser heat source as the boundary condition of the thermal analysis. For the laser heat source model, the Beer-Lambert model considering semi-transparent optical material based on Gaussian beam was selected as the boundary condition, and the mechanical part was not considered, to analyze the performance of only the mirror. As a result of the thermal analysis, thermal stress and thermal deformation data due to temperature change on the surface of the mirror were obtained. The displacement data of the surface due to thermal deformation was fitted to a Zernike polynomial to calculate the optical performance, through which the performance of the mirror when a high-energy laser was incident on the mirror could be predicted.

This paper describes the verification and the validation about the development of the integrated interoperability system for live, virtual, and constructive simulations on the aircraft weapon system. The proposed integrated interoperability system provides the framework and application softwares for implementing a synthetic environment emulating real-world environment among distributed simulation models, which are a mission model and an air combat model of a constructive level, an tactical simulator of a virtual level, and simulated ACMI of a live level. In this paper, we verify requested functions through an developmental test and evaluation, and validate operability and usability through conducing integrated LVC scenarios on the integrated interoperability system.
