Miniature smart-bullet is a human-carrying guided missile designed to hit a target easily while having a miniature size. Contrary to the normal missiles, miniature smart-bullet is highly expected to enhance the military strength and survival rate of troops by its compact size readily carriable to a single soldier. In this paper, previously developed techniques, activities and patents of miniature smart-bullet, particularly its structural shape and actuators are surveyed. Furthermore, analysis of required techniques to develop a miniature smart-bullet are also discussed for upcoming conceptual design.

Miniature guided-bullet is an advanced military technology of developing guided missile which is designed to hit a target precisely while having easily carriable miniature size. A key issue of developing such system involves size reduction of the original guided missile system, and this in turn arouses stiffness issue regarding small and thin sized control surface. In this study, procedures on how to calculate the critical flutter speed of special type of control surface with the change of its dimension or material property is arranged. During this procedure, design parameters related to critical flutter speed are abridged to help preliminary design of similar structure even faster than time-consuming, and cumbersome computer analysis.

In this paper, a subminiature solid rocket motor(SSRM) was designed to develop a miniature smart-bullet and the designed propellant grain was made of thermoplastic propellant for production convenience of inner shape. The internal ballistics analysis and ground test were performed to investigate the performance of SSRM. And a numerical simulation was carried out to obtain basic data on the design of safety distance between the nozzle outlet and a gunner, the temperature distribution of exhaust gas was analyzed by comparing a numerical simulation and the results of IR camera.

As weapons systems are fused with advanced technologies, many of the expenses for research and development are favorites, and that group demands high reliability of weapons systems before the lifecycle. However, empirical studies on the reliability of defense weapons systems are restricted to lack of attention and limitation of data. In this research, we proposed the process of collecting field operation specifications based on the experience gathered by visiting directly to the weapons system operator's trap, strategy and maintenance support force (COMROKFLT, Naval Logistics Command, Naval Shipyard, production company). We used this to derive the operation MTBF of the solubility inducing bullet shooting system and compared it with the target value at the time of development.

When enemy drones infiltrate large urban areas, various forms of great republics are deployed in large areas to respond. Due to the characteristics of a large number of government-run aircraft, the residual coal, other than the hit bullet, falls into various sizes of debris after its own explosion. The damage rate was analyzed by dividing the debris into anti-aircraft guns and guided weapons by deriving four factors: critical speed, fragmentation mass, initial speed of debris, and object collision speed, which can cause damage to human life as the debris falls to the ground. In the future, the North is expected to infiltrate the capital city of Seoul by operating unmanned aerial vehicles, which are asymmetric forces, and the damage could be minimized by setting up pre-fatal and fire-restricted zones to minimize casualties between responses.
