Gas turbines operating in dusty or sandy environment polluted with micron-sized solid particles are highly prone to blade surface erosion damage in compressor stages and molten sand attack in the hot-sections of turbine stages. Commercial/Military fixed-wing aircraft engines and helicopter engines often have to operate over sandy terrains in the middle eastern countries or in volcanic zones; on the other hand gas turbines in marine applications are subjected to salt spray, while the coal-burning industrial power generation turbines are subjected to fly-ash. The presence of solid particles in the working fluid medium has an adverse effect on the durability of these engines as well as performance. Typical turbine blade damages include blade coating wear, sand glazing, Calcia-Magnesia-Alumina-Silicate (CMAS) attack, oxidation, plugged cooling holes, all of which can cause rapid performance deterioration including loss of aircraft. The focus of this research work is to simulate particle-surface kinetic interaction on typical turbomachinery material targets using non-linear dynamic impact analysis. The objective of this research is to understand the interfacial kinetic behaviors that can provide insights into the physics of particle interactions and to enable leap ahead technologies in material choices and to develop sand-phobic thermal barrier coatings for turbine blades. This paper outlines the research efforts at the U.S Army Research Laboratory to come up with novel turbine blade multifunctional protective coatings that are sand-phobic, sand impact wear resistant, as well as have very low thermal conductivity for improved performance of future gas turbine engines. The research scope includes development of protective coatings for both nickel-based super alloys and ceramic matrix composites.

The major elements of avionics system architecture are requirements, Real Time Operating System, message communication, memory, and data format etc. Herein describes a state-of-the-art development trend for the avionics system architecture, system requirements and data bus among the major elements of avionics system. While, domestic technology has been tried to Integrated Modular Avionics(IMA) system based on the Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet(AFDX) technology during Light Attack Helicopter(LAH) project in Korea, but not yet proved as the product case in Full Scale Development Phase. The avionics system architecture considering the domestic inexperience of the IMA system architecture are suggested for the Next-generation Corps Unmanned Aircraft System.

무장 헬리콥터에서 발사되는 무유도 로켓은 로터 블레이드에 의한 내리흐름과 전후좌우 기동으로 인한 외풍에 의해 전체 궤적 및 사거리가 변화하므로, 내리흐름 효과를 고려하여 무유도 로켓의 궤적을 예측하는 것이 중요하다. 내리흐름 효과를 고려한 무유도 로켓의 궤적 및 사거리를 예측하기 위해, 본 연구에서 여러 외풍 조건에 따른 후류 영역을 Actuator Disk Model(ADM)로 계산하고 6 자유도 (6 DOF) 운동 해석으로 무유도 로켓의 자세 및 전체 비행 궤적을 예측할 수 있는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 개발된 알고리즘은 ADM 해석 결과를 6 자유도에 반영하여 다양한 초기 발사조건에서 무유도 로켓의 전체 궤적을 예측할 수 있고, 기존 Inflow model을 이용한 내리흐름 해석과는 다르게 동체와의 간섭효과를 고려하여 비교적 정확한 내리흐름 및 다양한 외풍 환경 조건으로 궤적을 예측 할 수 있다. 개발된 알고리즘을 이용하여, 내리흐름 효과에 의한 무유도 로켓의 자세 및 궤적 변화 메커니즘을 유효 받음각 변화와 기수 자세 안정성으로 규명하였다. 그리고 외풍으로 인해 변화하는 내리흐름 효과를 고려하여 무유도 로켓의 궤적변화와 사거리를 계산한 결과, 후방 외풍 시 최대 13% 사거리 증가를 보였다. 사거리 증가의 주요 요인으로 내리흐름 영역과 강도, 부차적 요인으로 외풍과 동체와의 간섭효과, 동압의 크기인 것을 밝혔다. 또한 사거리 변화량이 가장 큰 후방 외풍에서, 후방 외풍의 풍속이 증가함에 따라 로켓의 사거리가 증가하였다. 하지만 특정 후방 외풍 크기 이상에서 더 이상 로켓 사거리가 증가하지 않는 한계를 보였다.

본 연구에서는 헬리콥터 하중 해석을 위한 통합해석코드에서 사용되는 에어포일의 공력 성능 테이블 작성 자동화를 위한 GUI 프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발 후 상용화를 위해 PC환경에서 사용이 보편화 되어 있는 윈도우 운영체제 기반으로 프로그램을 개발하였다. 또한, 별도의 과정을 거치지 않고도 계산 과정 및 생성된 격자 표시등의 결과를 확인할 수 있는 후처리 기능을 포함하여 사용자의 편의를 도모하였다. 기 검증된 기존의 전산유체역학 코드를 기본으로 하여 다양한 받음각과 마하수 영역에서 공력해석이 자동적으로 수행되도록 하였으며, 계산 격자는 에어포일 표면 좌표가 입력되면 자동으로 생성되도록 하였다. FORTRAN 으로 작성된 전산유체역학 코드를 별도의 변환 과정 없이 C++ 기반의 GUI 프로그램과 연동시키기 위하여 Mixed-Language 기법을 사용하였다.

Withe increased North Korea's security threats, the South Korean navy has been faced with deteriorating security environment. While North Korea has increased asymmetric forces in the maritime and underwater with the development of nuclear weapons, and China and Japan have made a large investment in the buildup of naval forces, the power of the Pacific fleet of the US, a key ally is expected to be weakened. The biggest threat comes from China's intervention in case of full-scale war with North Korea, but low-density conflict issues are also serious problems. North Korea has violated the Armistice Agreement 2,660 times since the end of Korean War, among which the number of marine provocations reaches 1,430 times, and the tension over the NLL issue has been intensifying. With tension mounting between Korea and Japan over the Dokdo issue and conflict escalating with China over Ieo do Islet, the US Navy has confronted situation where it cannot fully concentrate on the security of the Korean peninsula, which leads to need for strengthening of South Korea's naval forces. Let's look at naval forces of neighboring countries. North Korea is threatening South Korean navy with its increased asymmetric forces, including submarines. China has achieved the remarkable development of naval forces since the promotion of 3-step plan to strengthen naval power from 1989, and it now retains highly modernized naval forces. Japan makes an investment in the construction of stat of the art warship every year. Since Japan's warship boasts of its advanced performance, Japan's Maritime Self Defense Force is evaluated the second most powerful behind the US Navy on the assumption that submarine power is not included in the naval forces. In this situation, naval power construction of South Korean navy should be done in phases, focusing on the followings; First, military strength to repel the energy warship quickly without any damage in case of battle with North Korea needs to be secured. Second, it is necessary to develop abilities to discourage the use of nuclear weapons of North Korea and attack its nuclear facilities in case of emergency. Third, construction of military power to suppress armed provocations from China and Japan is required. Based on the above naval power construction methods, the direction of power construction is suggested as follows. The sea fleet needs to build up its war potential to defeat the naval forces of North Korea quickly and participate in anti-submarine operations in response to North Korea's provocations. The task fleet should be composed of 3 task flotilla and retain the power to support the sea fleet and suppress the occurrence of maritime disputes with neighboring countries. In addition, it is necessary to expand submarine power, a high value power asset in preparation for establishment of submarine headquarters in 2015, develop anti-submarine helicopter and load SLAM-ER missile onto P-3C patrol aircraft. In case of maine corps, division class military force should be able to conduct landing operations. It takes more than 10 years to construct a new warship. Accordingly, it is necessary to establish plans for naval power construction carefully in consideration of reality and future. For the naval forces to safeguard maritime sovereignty and contribute to national security, the acquisition of a huge budget and buildup of military power is required. In this regard, enhancement of naval power can be achieved only through national, political and military understanding and agreement. It is necessary to let the nation know that modern naval forces with improved weapon system can serve as comprehensive armed forces to secure the command of the sea, perform defense of territory and territorial sky and attack the enemy's strategic facilities and budget inputted in the naval forces is the essential source for early end of the war and minimization of damage to the people. If the naval power construction is not realized, we can be faced with a national disgrace of usurpation of national sovereignty of 100 years ago. Accordingly, the strengthening of naval forces must be realized.
