In this paper, we have proposed a methodology which can make effective test for system integration of complex guided missile system. System integration test play a significant role in the development of weapon system, providing the means to detect and isolate faults on first linkage between sub-systems. Integration tests for domestic weapon system has executed not a technology-intensive method based on tool but labor-intensive method based on experience. Higher cost, longer period, and more resource are required to execute system integration test for complex guided missile system comparing with past weapon systems, because recently weapon systems have more complex and more networked functions. Because the proposed design method for system integration test decreases number of test case, it lead to a decrease of cost, period, and resource for integration test of weapon system. The proposed configuration for system integration test will ensure reliability through detection and isolation of fault on linkage between sub-systems.

Reliability is the priority matter in guided weapon systems. The reliability prediction data is used during the devel opment stage as the manufacturing cost is very high and the production quantity if quite limited. At the same time it takes relatively a long period of time to acquire a reliable operation data set after deployment such that in order t o determine the operational reliability, weapons must be tested and analyzed in real operating environments. For the research, the life distributions were estimated by using actual operation data and the reliability was calculated by ap plying the method of least squares and maximum likelihood estimation. Also, the comparisons were made between pr edicted reliability and actual operational reliability. As a result, the actual reliability of each system was higher than predicted reliability and it was considered that such a difference was caused by the fact that the application of the l atest designing technology and improved parts to the guided weapon systems was not reflected on the estimation of predicted reliability. It was possible to confirm the actual operational reliability of domestic (ROK) guided weapon sy stems through this research and the methods used here will contribute to the reliability analyses for the future guide d weapon systems to be developed.

The guided missiles and decoy systems that have been developed have been likened to a spear and shield. When a new attack system appears, another defense system is developed, and the attack system is once again upgraded to neutralize it. Now, due to the limitations of the decoy system, guided weapons have become the main force of both the defense and attack systems. Also, these systems have been expanded to use Space systems as a means of defending against a guided weapon system that is too fast for terrestrial-based systems. Induced weapon systems started at the sub-sonic level, and have become so important that their speeds have become super-sonic and hyper-sonic. The concept of Space has been included in the range of guided missiles, and satellite systems have become essential elements of guided missiles. Focusing on the correlation between the guided missile system and the satellite system, we analyze the characteristics of modern guided munitions and the direction of development of the guided weapons system.

This research describes the ConOps(Concept of Operations) of sea-based guided weapon systems. The ConOps describes how the proposed system is to be used and is more descriptive than technical in terms of various stakeholders. It should be prepared to support the concept of the life cycle stage of the system. Developing ConOps plays an important role in ensuring that operational/maintenance, maintenance, and acquisition and development areas are better understood by users' needs and expectations. In this point of view, this work presents the process of deriving ConOps and aims to derive operational concept of maritime guided weapon system by using tools.

In government procurement programs, cost estimation and analysis support funding decisions and are the basis for other major decisions, too. Such estimating and analyzing the cost of the weapon systems are crucial in execution of the defense budget. However, existing cost estimations and analyses have focused on domestic R&D projects, thus those are not valid in application to foreign weapon acquisitions. This study aims at foreign weapon systems that are acquired from Direct Commercial Sales. Because the data for price estimation of a foreign weapon is usually not available, we suggest a price estimation model based on performance factors of the weapon. In this study, the proper price of the weapon system is estimated using the parametric cost estimating model. Using the data of helicopter-launched anti-tank guided missiles worldwide, we analyze the effect of each performance factor on the weapon system price by regression analysis, and use step-wise and ridge regression analysis to remove multi-collinearity. This study hopefully contributes to more reasonable decision making on proper price of weapons.

State-of-the-art design S/W and other 3D systems are used for design and development of weapon system. It is possible to detect problems of design through 3D or VR(Virtual Reality) in advance, and then reduce the development cost by finding solutions before prototype production. Therefore, we can increase efficiency for supportability of weapon system. In this study, we first propose a design verification procedure. Then we verify design of weapon system, underwater guided weapon, as a case study. Finally, we suggest alternatives for underwater guided weapon under development with DMS(Digital Maintenance System) and ICIDO from the point of view of ILS(Integrated Logistics Support). Developed S/W, DMS, draws maintenance procedures for components. Commercial S/W, ICIDO, verifies cable maintainability.

In this paper, we proposed the DFMEA Implementation Method for safety design of Weapon System. First, we presented the process for DFMEA. And then, the case analysis of OOO missile was performed in accordance with the process presented. After defining the system requirements of OOO missile, failure definition scoring criteria was set. In order to clarify the definition of failure, the failure was classified into safety, reliability, maintainability and others. After performing the function analysis, the relationship matrix analysis was performed to identify the failure mode according to the function without omission. After clarifying the failure classification, mode of failure, cause of failure and effect were analyzed to calculate the severity, occurrence and detection values. After the action priority was judged, the recommended action according to the failure classification was identified for the determined action priority. The results of this study can be used as a relevant basis for the design reflection and resource re-allocation of stakeholders.

To improve the reliability of a weapon system, we perform the activities: setting the target reliability, reliability allocation, and reliability management, etc. Before starting weapon system development, the target reliability of system is set through advanced research and is allocated to its subsystems at the beginning of development. Then we manage the reliability of system and subsystems to meet the target reliability until completion of system development. In this paper, we research representative reliability allocation methods and introduce the suitable reliability allocation method followed by its application to the underwater guided weapon system. The purpose of this research is to review the proposed reliability allocation techniques and find an appropriate method for underwater weapon systems followed by the validation of its application.
