This paper describes the development of the dual-thrust flight motor for enhancing the hit probability of unguided rockets. We designed dual-thrust flight motor by shape modification of the double base propellant with high burning rate, and confirmed the dual-thrust performance by static firing tests. The test results showed the thrust ratio of about 1:7.6 between sustaining phase and boosting phase, and had a quietly normal dual-thrust characteristics. And the results showed that there was not the fire extinction phenomenon of propellant due to the pressure drop.

Simulative target generators are needed for testing and calibrating various radar systems. The generator in this study discriminates the transmitting frequency from a radar and simulates parameters like target range, range rate, and atmospheric attenuation using the digital RF memory technique. The simulative target echo is then sent to the radar for testing and evaluation. This paper proposes a novel architecture for controlling the digital RF memory so it continually writes ADC data to the memory and reads it for the DAC with increasing one step address in order to control the delay of target range in a simple way. The target echo is programmed according to various preprogrammed scenarios and is generated in real time using a wireless local area network (LAN). To analyze the detected and generated target information easily, the system times for the radar and simulative target generator are synchronized using a global positioning system (GPS).

With the recent development of defense technology, various aircraft armaments/equipments are being developed. Among them, cruise guided weapons(missile) for launching aircraft can be installed on aircraft aftersecuring reliability and safety through varioustests. In order to avoid collision with aircraft, missile separated from aircraft must release restraint of wing at the specified time, control wing in the specified direction. In order to confirm this, a test system that can control MIL-STD-1760 according to safety separation procedure and verify release performance is required. test system needs a function to check circuit for release of restraints and a function to check driving performance by controlling MIL-STD-1760. In addition, test system should be simulate environment separated from aircraft. This paper presented a testsystemthat can verify circuit and driving performance mounted on missile according to the safety separation procedure, and it was confirmed that it was normally separated from aircraft through flight tests.

Defense R&D is a key process for securing weapons systems determined by mid- and long-term needs to cope with changing future battlefield environments. In particular, the test and evaluation provides information necessary to determine whether or not to switch to mass production as the last gateway to research and development of weapons systems and plays an important role in ensuring performance linked to the life cycle of weapons systems. Meanwhile, if you look at the recent changes in the operational environment of the Korean Peninsula and the defense acquisition environment, you can see three main characteristics. First of all, continuous safety accidents occurred during the operation of the weapon system, which increased social interest in the safety of combatants, and the efficient execution of the limited defense budget is required as acquisition costs increase. In addition, strategic approaches are needed to respond to future battlefield environments such as robots, autonomous weapons systems (RAS), and cyber security test and evaluation. Therefore, in this study, we would like to present strategies for improving the testing and evaluation of weapons systems by considering the characteristics of the security environment that has changed recently. To this end, the improvement strategy was derived by analyzing the complementary elements of the current weapon system operational test and evaluation system in a multi-dimensional model and prioritized through the hierarchical analysis method (AHP).

In this study, two types of thrust stand modeling were proposed for the design of a thrust stand using flexure. Type A model generate combined load for tangential (thrust) and axial compressive load (self weight). And type B generate combined load for tangential and axial tensile load. The research was done by comparing the influence of the load between the models through a 1D calculation and computational analysis. The 1D calculated value and the computational analysis value were compared for a total of 10 sections and the results were confirmed to be very similar. In order to prove the validity of the analysis results, the equivalent stress was confirmed from the computational analysis of the flexure, and the production of the Type B model was selected from the evaluation of the yield condition (Von-Mises Yield Criterion).

This paper presents a system that measures the acceleration of the shock caused by the explosion of the precursor warhead for the tandem projectile. The proposed system, which is implemented based on the MIL-STD-810G, Method 517.1, consists of a miniaturized shock measurement device, a cable, accelerometers, and a trigger circuit. The shock measurement device has a size of ¢102 × 171 mm and cable has a length of 3 m. The operational confirmation test is conducted by implementing the measurement system. The Analysis of shock data(accelerometer output data) is carried out using Shock Response Spectrum(SRS), pseudo velocity and plot of acceleration time transient. Through measurement analysis, one can predict the damage of electronics in projectile when precursor warhead is exploded.

To predict flow fields and chemical agent dispersion in urban area, wind tunnel experiments was performed. The agent was adopted MS (methyl salicylate) because the real chemical agent is unsafe. The exact concentration of methyl salicylate was generated by the commercial gas generator (STI-2500) and three different obstacle shapes were applied (i.e., rectangular, cylinder and pyramid). The concentration was measured with the qualified ion mobility sensor and gas chromatography. The data necessary for virtual test method of the real chemical agent were obtained.

In this paper, a command and control (C2) system development using a network emulator is treated. Due to the development of information and communication technologies enabling reinforcement of information exchange and computational capability, an operational concept network centric warfare (NCW) was introduced. In here, it summarizes a developmental test environment build based on dummynet, one of the software based network emulator, and an operational concept of target command and control system. Moreover, I explain command and control system developmental test cases and results, and suggest an operational concept to overcome limitations of target communication system. I expect this concept will reduce data traffic of proposed C2 system especially plot messages which is distributed same data with short interval.

Mutli-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were surface-modified by a hydrofluoric acid solution to remove impurities and improve interfacial bonding and dispersion of nanotubes in an epoxy matrix. The crystallinity on the surface of treated MWCNTs was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The mechanical properties were characterized by tensile test, and the enhancement of mechanical properties of the modified MWCNTs/epoxy composites was indicated by a 33% increase in tensile strength. The electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI-SE) of modified MWCNTs/epoxy composites was improved with an increase in concentration of hydrofluoric solution, and EMI-SE showed the maximum increase with 25% HF. However, mechanical and EMI-SE properties didn't show further increase with over 50% HF concentration because the properties of MWCNTs were influenced by degradation of crystallinity and intrinsic properties of MWCNTs. The mechanical and electrical property enhancements of the polymer composites are attributed to the modification of MWCNTs which improve crystallinity of MWCNTs and dispersion in the epoxy resin.

The gas-gun test is a experimental approach employed to validate the operational or structural stability when subjected to the impact energy encountered during launch or target collision. Predicting the outcomes of the gas-gun test has traditionally relied on empirical knowledge, due to numerous factors such as the bird assembly's shape, weight, material, and flight velocity. However, due to the nonlinearity and complex interactions between these variables, numerous tests are necessary to identify the necessary requirements, resulting in significant expense and time consumption during the process. The objective of this study is to forecast the variations in impact energy in future tests by developing a numerical model and analysis that aligns with the test outcomes, utilizing the ABAQUS Explicit. The outcome of the numerical analysis produced a framework that anticipates the peak g and the duration of the actual gas-sun test results, throughout post-processing techniques using FFT and LPF filters.
