In this paper, a high reliability 30W DC-DC converter is designed considering military standard (MIL-STD) for military applications such as guided weapon and aircraft. The performances and specifications of conventional military grade DC-DC converter are practically analyzed. The requirements for military grade DC-DC converter are established in consideration of MIL-STD and analysis results of conventional product. Two isolated DC-DC converter, forward and fly-back converter, are designed and compared to determine topology. From experimental results under various operating conditions, the forward topology satisfied performances and specifications of MIL-STD for military DC-DC converter.

Developers generally use test standards suggested by military standards such as MIL-STD-810G when performing vibration tests in the materiel development. However, according to MIL-STD-810G, it is recommended to test by tailoring the test standard suitable for the developed materiel, and it is specified to apply the suggested test standard only when there is difficulty in tailoring. In addition, the test standards presented by MIL-STD-810G are standards created under operating conditions different from the actual operating environment of each developed materiel, so the test according to this standard may be excessive or understated. Therefore, the developer must create an appropriate vibration test standard for the developed materiel as similar to the operating conditions as possible. In this paper, the procedure for creating the functional test standard and durability test standard suitable for the operating environment of the equipment to be mounted on the propeller aircraft under development is described, and the created standard is introduced.

Environmental tests should be carried out to show that design performance is in an operational condition in an actual operational environment to assure maintainability and reliability. Aero-products electromagnetic compatibility tests are performed mainly for the individual parts and Specifications MIL-STD-461E and RTCA DO-160E are developed for the military and commercial parts tests respectively. The MIL-STD-461E which is a military environmental test standard is targeting all munitions and that user can apply by selecting applicable requirements from this specification. On the other hand, requirements are applied exclusively for the Avionics Equipments in commercial test standard.

Radar is a ground defense system that detects enemy aircraft and receives power from a mobile power supply in an emergency. Serious problems may occur if the equipment is damaged by impact during transportation for use. The US military standard MIL-STD-810H contains information on environmental tests such as shock and vibration applied to munitions. Therefore, in this study, the transient analysis of ANSYS 19.2 was performed using the impact data specified in MIL-STD-810H as an input value. Through this, the maximum stress generated in the impact environment of the mobile power supply container was derived, and the safety margin was calculated to confirm the reliability of the container.

In this paper, the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test standard is described, and the purpose and test configuration for the electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) test of the missile component and the missile system are confirmed. The test configuration and specifications are suggested by the configuration of the missile component and the missile system based on the US military standards MIL-STD-461F and MIL-STD-464C, and explained that the ungrounded state, the final operating state of the missile component and the missile system, was constructed. In addition, the methods for checking the steady state and the points to be considered during the immunity test were introduced.

MIL-STD-461E, EMI military standard for the equipment and subsystems, requires reception characteristic tests to verify the susceptibility of a receiver against the jntermodulation and spurious signals. Because the CS103 and CS104 of MIL-STD-461E show the test configuration of the equipment unit like a traditional receiver, it is possible to verify the susceptibility only for the reception signal through analog filters. However, at present when software programming techniques make a progress, the CS103 and CS104 tests need to evaluate the reception signal of the subsystem which includes both the digital filtering effects and analog filter characteristics. These test and evaluation techniques applied to a surveillance radar subsystem. This paper researched the EMI test methods in order to confirm feasibility of these test and evaluation techniques. Also the test results are compared and analyzed.

An environmental test has been performed in order to improve the lifetime and reliability of the electrical units on aircraft. However, faults occurring in the field of aircraft have been difficult to predict and prevent, and new concepts for reliability testing are desired. Therefore, a composite reliability test sequence was proposed in the conventional studies. This study introduces test sequence guidelines based on relevant principles and considerations for electronic testing according to International Standard IEC-60068-1 and the United States Military Standard MIL-STD-810G. In addition, we analyze possible causes of failure using two-step QFD based on aircraft operation scenarios. Finally, the proposed test sequence can reproduce various and realistic failure modes for electrical units on aircraft.

TACAN(TACtical Air Navigation) was created to support military aircraft's short range navigation (200~300 mile). TACAN must fulfill a condition of MIL-STD-291C, the U.S. Military Standards, which addresses the sum of 15Hz and 135Hz should be within 55%, following the factor of modulations for both to be $21{\pm}9%$ each. Within the existing TACAN antenna, modulation factor for 15Hz and 135Hz are created differently depending on its diameter, wavelength, angle of gradient, internal modulation method or using frequency code. It brings up a problem where applications needed to be stopped and repaired when modulating signal exceeds the standard of MIL-STD-291C since the existing TACAN antenna does not have coordination function. Hence, plan and produce a modulating signal generator using FPGA, and check the changes in the modulation factor for 15HZ and 135Hz, depending on the values that have been set in each criteria. Moreover, allow the modulating signal generator to be automatically adjusted based on the monitoring signal emitted by antenna, and place alarm sound just in case if it exceeds the standard.

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.

In this paper, safety evaluation method simulating battlefield environment was studied to verify military operability of commercial lithium secondary battery. Based on the MIL-STD-2105D and STANAG standards, safety tests of lithium secondary battery module were conducted, such as bullet impact, fragment impact, fast cook-off and slow cook-off. All results satisfied the safety evaluation criteria, founded on military standard. It suggests that the lithium secondary module has high potential to be applied in a military power source. The safety evaluation methods developed in this paper can be valuable to propose the new military standards for commercial lithium secondary batteries.
