A Ballistic Missile(BM) is a missile that follows a sub-orbital ballistic flightpath with the objective of delivering one or more wardheads to a predetermined target and An Anti-Ballistic Missile(ABM) is a missile designed to destroy a ballistic missile before reaching its target. The main objective of this study is to assess the requirement of ABM by considering both flight characteristic of the SCUD-B/C, Nodong missiles and intercept performance of ABM in the Lower tier Ballistic Missile Defense(BMD). The Ballistic Missile's flight characteristics, such as trajectory, velocity etc., are estimated by simulation using the physical motion equations. The requirement of ABM is calculated by evaluating whether the BMD forces can defend those when the ballistic missiles attack prime facilities.

For a lower tier defense, the distance between a launcher and an engagement control station is quite important to estimate the proper defense area and to effectively arrange missile launchers. In this paper, we have analyzed an effectiveness of anti-ballistic missile launcher arrangement for the lower tier defense against the ballistic missile. The operation concept, specific configuration and aerodynamic characteristics of the ballistic missile such as SCUD-B/C, Nodong are considered in order to develop a realistic engagement simulation. The diverse engagement results through numerical simulations are provided to conduct the effectiveness analysis of anti-ballistic missiles.

제2차 세계대전 중에 최초의 탄도미사일인 V-2가 등장한 이후 발전하는 과학기술에 힘입어 미사일의 사거리, 정밀도 등이 비약적으로 향상됨에 따라 탄도미사일의 위협은 나날이 커지고 있다. 미국은 탄도미사일의 위협으로부터 자국 및 동맹국을 보호하기 위해 탄도미사일 방어체계(BMDS, Ballistic Missile Defense System)를 운용하고 있다. 센서에 의해 탐지된 탄도미사일은 요격 체계의 종류에 따라 부스트단계(Boost phase), 중간단계(Midcourse phase), 종말단계(Terminal phase) 등에서 요격하게 되며, THAAD(Terminal High Altitude Area Defense)는 고고도 종말단계에서 요격하는 체계이다. 본 논문에서는 미국의 탄도미사일 방어체계의 개념에 대해 간략히 설명하고, 그 중 THAAD의 운용 및 기술적 특징에 대해 집중적으로 조사하여 정리하였다.

미국은 직접적 잠재적 위협국에서 발사하는 탄도미사일 공격으로부터 본토를 방어하기 위해 탄도미사일 방어체계를 구축하여 운용하고 있다. 미사일 방어국(Missile Defense Agency)은 해상에서는 탄도미사일 방어체계가 탑재된 이지스함(Aegis BMD), Sea-Based X-band 레이더(SBX) 등을, 육상에서는 Ground-Based Interceptor(GBI), Early Warning 레이더, THAAD 등을 운용하고 있으며, 이에 추가하여 하와이에 탄도미사일 방어용 레이더(HDR-H)를 설치 할 예정이다. HDR-H가 전력화되면 아시아-태평양 지역에서의 탄도미사일 도발에 대한 대응 능력이 향상될 것으로 기대된다.

미국은 러시아, 중국, 북한 등 주변국으로부터 탄도미사일의 위협이 증가함에 따라 미사일 방어체계를 구축하고 있다. 미국의 탄도미사일 방어체계는 미사일방어국(MDA, Missile Defense Agency)을 중심으로 통합 대공 및 미사일 방어(IAMD, Integrated Air and Missile Defense) 개념으로 이루어지며, 해군은 탄도미사일을 해상에서 탐지, 추적 및 요격하는 임무를 담당하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 미 해군의 이지스 탄도미사일 방어(Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense)의 개념과 구축 현황 및 계획을 조사하여 기술하였다.

With the development of modern science and technology, weapon systems such as tanks, submarines, combat planes, radar are also dramatically advanced. Among these weapon systems, the ballistic missile, one of the asymmetric forces, could be considered as a very economical means to attack the core facilities of the other country in order to achieve the strategic goals of the country during the war. Because of the current ballistic missile threat from the North Korea, establishing a missile defense (MD) system becomes one of the major national defense issues. This study focused on the optimization of air defense artillery units' deployment for effective ballistic missile defense. To optimize the deployment of the units, firstly this study examined the possibility of defense, according to the presence of orbital coordinates of ballistic missiles in the limited defense range of air defense artillery units. This constraint on the defense range is originated from the characteristics of anti-ballistic missiles (ABMs) such as PATRIOT. Secondly, this study proposed the optimized mathematical model considering the total covering problem of binary integer programming, as an optimal deployment of air defense artillery units for defending every core defense facility with the least number of such units. Finally, numerical experiments were conducted to show how the suggested approach works. Assuming the current state of the Korean peninsula, the study arbitrarily set ballistic missile bases of the North Korea and core defense facilities of the South Korea. Under these conditions, numerical experiments were executed by utilizing MATLAB R2010a of the MathWorks, Inc.

In most cases, the trajectory of a ballistic missile is well explained by the Kepler's laws. It implies that the remaining trajectory of the ballistic missile including its final destination can be easily predicted if the position and velocity vector of the ballistic missile at any point on its path can be exactly known. Hence, an effective tracking algorithm based on an exact radar measurement model is very important for developing Ballistic Missile Defense(BMD) system. In this paper, we address to design a nonlinear filter, Unscented Kalman Filter(UKF), to track the ballistic missile.

This paper provides an empirical assessment of the development of North Korea's Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile (ASBM), and its influence on South Korea's maritime strategy. While research studies on North Korea's ballistic-missile capabilities and South Korea's ballistic-missile defense systems are proliferating, less analytical attention has been given to the way that the strengthening of North Korea's ballistic-missile capacities presents a critical threat to the ROK's navy and lines of communication. The authors of this paper identify the continuing development of unique ASBM capabilities by China and Iran, and determine that such processes are mutually interactive and in accordance with threat perceptions; furthermore, North Korea can enact the same process by learning lessons from these nations. The findings of this paper provide an implication for the formulation of South Korea's maritime strategy and the related assets in consideration of the ASBM as a future threat.

The low-altitude PAC-2 Patriot missile system is the backbone of ROK air defense for intercepting enemy aircraft. Currently there is no missile interceptor which can defend against the relatively high velocity ballistic missile from North Korea which may carry nuclear, biological or chemical warheads. For ballistic missile defense, Korea's air defense systems are being evaluated. In attempting to intercept ballistic missiles at high altitude the most effective means is through a multi-layered missile defense system. The missile defense problem has been studied considering a single interception system or any additional capability. In this study, we seek to establish a mathematical model that's available for multi-layered missile defense and minimize total interception fail probability and proposes a solution based on genetic algorithms. We perform computational tests to evaluate the relative speed and solution of our GA algorithm in comparison with the commercial optimization tool GAMS.

North Korea has developed ballistic missiles over the past 30 years. It is believed that they have a variety of ballistic missiles more than 1,000. Because these ballistic missiles threaten South Korea directly, accurate analysis of them is essential. Flight trajectories of the ballistic missiles are generally changed by means of adjusting payload weight, Isp, flight path angle, and cut-off time. The flight path angle is widely used to control the missile range. However it is difficult to predict the missile trajectory exactly in real operational environment because the missile could be launched according to its intention and purpose. This work analyzed the 1,000 km range MRBM's trajectory characteristics from adjusting flight path angle which is depressed as well as lofted method. The analysis of missile trajectory characteristics is based on the simulation of the missile trajectory model developed by KNDU research team.
