Crimes with explosives is one of the mass-destructive crimes that involves the most victims. It is heavily punished under the Korean laws. Mid-eastern area is one of the leading places that are home to improvised explosive device attacks, in the form of religious or political terrorism because of its convenience of use, production and disguise. Improvised bombs are permeating into domestic crimes in Korea as their tools. Use of explosive substances are strictly restricted in this country, but it is not impossible to find its information online and to create private explosives with a bit of interest. And they are being traded in the grey market. For this reason, this thesis offers the method of an efficient safety control of explosive substances, which can be used as raw materials for improvised explosive devices, in order to protect citizens' lives and properties and to promote national security down the road.

In this study, two aspects were analyzed about the robot for removal of explosive devices. First, the cost analyses were performed to provide a reasonable solution for the acquirement of the system. It is processed by an engineering estimate method and the process was consisted of two ways : a system development expense and a mass production unit price. In additions, the resultant cost analyses were compared between the cases excluding and including a mines detection system. As results, in the case of the acquirement of the robot system for removal of explosive devices, it is recommended that the performance by improving the mines detection ability should be considered preferentially rather than the cost because the material cost for the mines detection system is negligible compared to the whole system cost. Second, as a way for improving the system performance by the mine detection function, the carbon nanotube (CNT) based sensor technology was studied in terms of sensitivity and simple productivity with presenting its preliminary experimental results. The detection electrodes were formed by a photolithography method using a photosensitive CNT paste. As results, this method was shown as a scalable and expandable technology for the excellent mines detection sensors.

In this paper, mechanism design of the explosive ordnance disposal(EOD) manipulator for small unmanned ground vehicle(SUGV) is presented from the conceptual to detailed design. EOD manipulator has been widely developed in the world due to the growing threat of the improvised explosive devices at war. It has distinctive characteristics, such as small size and high loading performance, compared to the industrial manipulator which is fixed on the floor. Design of new EOD manipulator must take into account various functional requirements and constraints simultaneously. We focused on developing the EOD manipulator that has suitable size for the SUGV and maximum 15kg payload capacity. Design approach taken in this paper is based on axiomatic design procedure and comparison among many possible candidates of each joint structure to obtain appropriate entire structure of EOD manipulator.

본 연구는 서울시 노원구 지역을 대상으로 차량 급조폭발물(IED)을 이용한 테러 발생 시 잠재피해인구를 추정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 정사영상을 바탕으로 객체기반 건물추출법을 활용하여 아파트의 면적을 구하였고, 고도자료를 바탕으로 건물의 높이와 층수를 추정하였다. 연면적기반 건물인구 추정법을 이용하여 각 아파트에 대한 거주인구를 추정한 후, 시나리오 분석법을 통해 연구지역 내 인구밀집지역인 지하철역을 중심으로 테러 발생 시 잠재적 피해인구를 추정하였다. 차량 급조폭발물(IED)을 이용한 테러 피해는 적재 가능한 폭약 량에 큰 영향을 받는 바, 테러에 이용 될 수 있는 차량의 종류에 따라 테러 발생 시 잠재적인 피해인구를 산출하였다. 분석결과, 노원구 마들역 주변에서 테러발생 시 가장 큰 잠재피해인구가 발생할 것으로 추정되었다. 본 연구에서 사용한 방법은 차후 연구에서 대단위 지역의 인구분포 추정 및 재난 피해 분석에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

As many of armored vehicles are seriously exposed to threat of IEDs(Improvised Explosive Devices) in the Afghanistan war and the Iraq war. V-shaped military vehicles are deeply studied in order to protect crews and mounted soldiers against land mines. Generally the experiment on full-scaled V-shaped structure needs excessively high cost, which becomes a huge barrier to study. In this paper, we explore the possibility to make a half-scaled model of the V-shaped structure by using the geometric similarity scaling. We demonstrate the geometric similarity scaling between the original model and the half-scaled model is established on the momentum and deflections of structure via computer simulations and experiments. At this stage, we conduct only numerical analysis of predicting vibration of V-shaped structure because measuring vibration of structure is difficult in the mass-explosion experiment, which is remained as future work.

Mines, torpedoes and improvised explosive devices (IED) pose a serious threat to the survivability of naval combatants. Inasmuch, a major goal in the design of modern combatant ships has been to eliminate or at least reduce the devastating damage caused by underwater explosion events. Even though there has been extensive research performed on the various underwater explosion phenomena and their associated effects, effective shock testing and shock proofing strategies for naval ship systems have proven to be illusive. Through the use of modeling and simulation (M&S), live fire test and evaluation (LFT&E) and laboratory testing, general guidelines for the shock hardening of shipboard equipment and systems have been developed. In this paper, current aspect of ship survivability has been addressed and future direction is discussed.

Fractures of the orbital floor and walls are among the most frequent maxillofacial fractures. Virtual three-dimensional (3D) planning and use of patient-specific implants (PSIs) could improve anatomic and functional outcomes in orbital reconstruction surgery. The presented case was a victim of a terrorist attack involving improvised explosive devices. This 58-year-old female suffered severe wounds caused by a single piece of metal from a bomb, shattering the left orbital floor and lateral orbital wall. Due to remaining hypotropia of the left eye compared to the right eye, late orbital floor reconstruction was carried out with a personalised 3D printed titanium implant. We concluded that this technique with PSI appears to be a viable method to correct complex orbital floor defects. Our research group noted good aesthetic and functional results one year after surgery. Due to the complexity of the surgery for a major bony defect of the orbital floor, it is important that the surgery be executed by experienced surgeons in the field of maxillofacial traumatology.

In this study, two important requirements for the home production of a robot to detect and remove improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are presented in terms of the total cost for robot system development and the performance improvement of the mine detection technology. Firstly, cost analyses were performed in order to provide a reasonable solution following an engineering estimate method. As a result, the total cost for a mass production system without the mine detection system was estimated to be approximately 396 million won. For the case including the mine detection system, the total cost was estimated to be approximately 411 million won, in which labor costs and overhead charges were slightly increased and the material costs for the mine detection system were negligible. Secondly, a method for fabricating the carbon nanotube (CNT) based gas detection sensor was studied. The detection electrodes were formed by a photolithography process using a photosensitive CNT paste. As a result, this method was shown to be a scalable and expandable technology for producing excellent mine detection sensors. In particular, it was found that surface treatments by using adhesive taping or ion beam bombardment methods are effective for exposing the CNTs to the ambient air environment. Fowler-Nordheim (F-N) plots were obtained from the electron-emission characteristics of the surface treated CNT paste. The F-N plot suggests that sufficient electrons are available for transport between CNT surfaces and chemical molecules, which will make an effective chemiresistive sensor for the advanced IED detection system.

최근 무선통신 장비를 이용하여 원격으로 폭발시킬 수 있는 무선 급조폭발물 (RCIED)에 의한 테러의 위협이 전 세계적으로 증가하고 있다. 이에 대응하기 위해 급조폭발물을 기폭 시키는 무선 트리거 신호를 정상적으로 수신하지 못하게 하는 재밍 기법이 사용되고 있다. 기존의 재밍 기법으로는 전 대역에 항상 재밍 신호를 방출하는 상시 광대역 재밍(active barrage jamming) 기법이 주로 사용되고 있으나, 전력 소모가 매우 커서 주요 운송 수단인 차량 탑재용으로 사용하기에는 운용시간이 너무 짧다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 기존 기법의 단점을 극복하기 위하여 최근에 반응 재밍(reactive jamming) 기법이 관심을 받고 있다. 반응 재밍은 폭발 트리거 신호를 감지하여 신호가 존재하는 대역을 선별적으로 대응하는 재밍 기법으로서, 기존 재밍기법에 비해 전력 효율이 높기 때문에 차량 탑재용으로도 운용 시간을 대폭 늘릴 수 있다. 하지만, 반응 재밍은 폭발 트리거 신호를 포착한 뒤 재밍 신호를 방사하기 때문에, 폭발 트리거 신호 환경에 대한 정보를 바탕으로 반응 재밍이 이루어져야 하는 반응시간에 대한 기준이 필요하다. 이를 위해서 본 논문에서는 반응 재밍을 활용할 수 있는 이동통신 환경에 대해서 필요한 반응시간을 이동통신 시스템에서의 호 처리시간(call processing time) 정보를 바탕으로 도출하고, 반응 재밍에서 사용될 수 있는 repeater 재밍에 대해 시뮬레이션을 통해 성능 분석을 수행한다.
