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.

Since the basic built-in-test, prognostic health management (PHM) has evolved into more sophisticated and complex systems with advanced warning and failure detection devices. Aerospace and military systems, manufacturing equipment, structural monitoring, automotive electronic systems and telecommunication systems are examples of fields in which PHM has been fully utilized. Nowadays, the automotive electronic system has become more sophisticated and increasingly dependent on accurate sensors and reliable microprocessors to perform vehicle control functions which help to detect faults and to predict the remaining useful life of automotive parts. As the complication of automotive system increases, the need for intelligent PHM becomes more significant. Given enormous potential to be developed lays ahead, this paper presents findings and discussions on the trends of automotive PHM research with the expectation to offer opportunity for further improving the current technologies and methods to be applied into more advanced applications.

The interview for the selection of army officers had a lot of interview questions and topical content, so it was difficult to prepare for military officers applicants. Applicants who pass the written evaluation will be selected after passing the final interview. However, as the number of applicants is relatively decreasing due to the improvement of the treatment of the soldiers, it is expected that there will be a shortage of executives to operate advanced equipment in the future. To ensure that excellent applicants do not drop out of the final interview, we intend to provide interview-related data and suggest a unique interview direction for applicants.

This paper is about designing and implementing the simulation training equipment (simulator) for the CBRN Reconnaissance Vehicle-II (armor type). The simulation training equipment (simulator) is a military training equipment in a virtual environment that analyzes the training using various CBRN equipment according to the CBRN situation and make a professional report. The controller or training instructor can construct a scenario using the instructor control system for a possible CBRN situation, spread the situation, and observe the process of the trainee performing the propagated situation appropriately. All process can be monitored and analyzed by the system, and it can be recorded, so it is also used for AAR (After Action Review). To implement CBRN situation training in a virtual environment, instructor control (IOS), host (HOS), video (IGS), input/output device (IOC), and sound (ACS) were implemented, a long-range chemical automatic detector (LCA), a combined chemical detector (CAD), a control (MCC) and an operation (OCC) computer were developed as simulators. In this paper, the design and development of simulation training equipment for CBRN Reconnaissance Vehicle-II (armor type) was conducted, and the performance was verified through integrated tests and acceptance tests.

Engine oil leaks comprise the largest percentage of the major quality problems that have occurred during the engine production process for military land system equipment over the last two years. To minimize this, it is essential to understand the root cause of the engine oil leakage and perceive the more common leakage area, as well as reduce the quality costs of pre-identification for leaks in the engine assembly process and single items. Therefore, in this study, the mass production quality of engines installed and operated in power equipment was improved by visualizing the engine oil leakage injected with the fluorescent dye and increasing the identification of the engine oil leak phenomenon. For this reason, the possibility of substituting the engine oil was considered and the engine oil was injected with the fluorescent dye. The maintenance was improved by reforming the engine oil injection process and leakage inspection process. Finally, these results suggest that the quality costs between mass production processes can be minimized by ensuring the reliability of military engines by reducing the user's complaints and improving the quality control capabilities of engine manufacturers.

Military camera equipment has a problem that observability is inferior due to various shaking factors. In this paper, we propose an image stabilization algorithm considering performance and execution time to solve this problem and implemented it in Zynq SoC. We stabilized both the simple shaking in the fixed observation position and the sudden shaking in the moving observation position. The feature of the input image is extracted by the Sobel edge algorithm, the subblock with the large edge data is selected, and the motion vector, which is the compensation reference, is calculated through template matching using the 3-step search algorithm of the region of interest. In addition, the proposed algorithm can distinguish the shaking caused by the simple shaking and the movement by using the Kalman filter, and the stabilized image can be obtained by minimizing the loss of image information. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, experiments on various images were performed. In comparison, PSNR is improved in the range of 2.6725~3.1629 (dB) and image loss is reduced from 41% to 15%. On the other hand, we implemented the hardware-software integrated design using HLS of Xilinx SDSoC tool and confirmed that it operates at 32 fps on the Zynq board, and realized SoC that operates with real-time processing.

It is essential that weapons which are mounted on aircraft need to prove its reliability and safety during its developments. A guided missile should have high reliability and safety throughout various tests which are including ground tests, captive flight tests, detailed technical tests and operational tests. In these various tests, it is vital that software of each component in the guided missile should be easily updated in order to correct algorithms or errors. In this paper, we propose a software update technique based on MDTP(mass data transfer protocol) which are defined in MIL-STD-1760. The proposed techniques have the following advantages: First, software of each unit in a weapon can be updated through a test equipment without disassemble a guided missile. Second, development periods for a software update can be reduced by reusing MDTP. Third, we can easily maintenance of the software because it is based on standard. We proved its efficiency and validity through experiments. Therefore, the proposed technique should be effectively utilized for software update of a weapon mounted on an aircraft during development processes.

With the development of information and communication technology, the military's battle environment is changing greatly to network centric warfare in where weapon system is connected in a network and carries out mission by exchanging the real-time data. The core of the network centric warfare is Tactical Data Link(TDL) system, and subscribers of TDL exchange tactical information in real time through wireline, wireless and satellite network to share the battlefield situation. The amount of data sent and received through TDL inevitably increase as military's weapon systems equipped with TDL systems increase over time and the performance of communications equipment improves. This study proposes ways to improve the transmission speed and processing capacity of the TDL system by improving the Data Link Processor.

The rapid growth of smartphone-to-Internet of Things (IoT) connections and the explosive demand for data usage centered on mobile video are increasing day by day, and this increase in data usage creates many problems in the IP system. In a full-based environment, in which information requesters focus on information providers to receive information from specific servers, problems arise with bottlenecks and large data processing. To address this problem, CCN networking technology, a future network technology, has emerged as an alternative to CCN networking technology, which reduces bottlenecks that occur when requesting popular content through caching of intermediate nodes and increases network efficiency, and can be applied to military information and communication networks to address the problem of traffic concentration and the use of various surveillance equipment in full-based networks, such as scientific monitoring systems, and to provide more efficient content.

In this paper, the effect of high voltage current pulse against shaped charge jet was analyzed through the visualization of jet behavior using flash X-ray and comparison of depth of penetration(DOP) into RHA(Rolled Homogeneous Armor) witness plates. The behavior of jet particles has been acquired using a flash X-ray equipment when current pulse was applied into the metal jet of a shaped charge(SC) warhead. Typical results such as jet breakup and radial jet dispersion, which are due to electromagnetic pressure by current pulse, have been obtained. Dozens of penetration experiments using a shaped charge with 55 mm diameter were performed according to various combinations of major parametric variables such as electrode spacing, standoff distance from SC warhead to electrode, and charge voltage. Subsequently, interrelations between major parametric variables and DOPs into RHA were analyzed.
