In this paper, the structural-thermal-optical performance analysis of the mirror was performed by setting the laser heat source as the boundary condition of the thermal analysis. For the laser heat source model, the Beer-Lambert model considering semi-transparent optical material based on Gaussian beam was selected as the boundary condition, and the mechanical part was not considered, to analyze the performance of only the mirror. As a result of the thermal analysis, thermal stress and thermal deformation data due to temperature change on the surface of the mirror were obtained. The displacement data of the surface due to thermal deformation was fitted to a Zernike polynomial to calculate the optical performance, through which the performance of the mirror when a high-energy laser was incident on the mirror could be predicted.

With the increase in the risk of GPS jamming, the development and application of anti-jamming GPS techniques have been actively performed. As the objective performance verification of developed techniques is important, equipment development for verification and discussion on anti-jamming performance test method and procedure have also been conducted. However, most tests are related to the specification of equipment and therefore detailed procedure of the performance verification of an anti-jamming system needs to be developed. In this study, requirements for anti-jamming performance verification were described, and test configurations and performance evaluation items depending on three kinds of test methods (lab test, basic outdoor test, and chamber test) were suggested for anti-jamming performance verification.

In this paper, we propose a developing approach of 600 W super high frequency(SHF) traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA) for communications. Also, we make a TWTA called the experimental-TWTA(ETWTA), which uses a cathode ripple reduction technique to improve RF performance. After implementation, we discuss, and compare it with some other TWTAs. Its RF performance is better than that of other TWTAs. Therefore, this methodology can be used to develop the high power SHF TWTA for communications.

This research is about the inspection system which is for maintenance of laterals of local RBF(River bed Filtration). Inspection system is designed for local use in order to endure water resistance up to 50m and it also can examine the internal condition and colgging of laterals by moving inside of the laterals about 100m back and forward. We will conduct performance test of inspection system at the lacal RBF site and present its result.

In recent SONAR (sound navigation and ranging) systems, wideband active SONAR systems has received more attention than narrowband SONAR systems due to the remarkable detection performance in terms of range resolution. However, the wideband SONAR systems usually requires a huge amount of computational burden in order to achieve their own superiority. To cope with this drawback of the wideband SONAR systems, this paper proposes a fast target detection and velocity estimation method using an extended replica in wideband hyperbolic frequency modulation active SONAR system. Computer simulation shows that the proposed method can be implemented by a highly reduced computational complexity with a little performance degradation in target detection and velocity estimation compared to the conventional filter bank method.

A multiple radar system is comprised of early warning radar for fast detection of a target and air defense radar for precision intercept. For this reason, target take-over process is required between the two radars. The target take-over should be performed at an appropriate time by consideration of stable tracking and effective fire control. In this paper, operation characteristics of multiple radar system are analyzed and target take-over time determination method using estimation of target tracking performance is proposed for high-velocity targets. The proposed method is validated with ballistic target defense scenarios in the developed integrated simulator.

This paper is studied on the effect of the bolt joint stiffness on the Thrust Measurement Stand(TMS). TMS is a test stand for thrust performance of the propulsion system, which depends on two factors: The $1^{st}$ is the parallel degree between directions of the thrust vector and action lines of the corresponding measuring load cells for the vector, and the $2^{nd}$ is the orthogonality between action lines of the measuring load cells. Therefore, it is essential to maintain the original shape of the TMS under operating conditions. In this paper, it is examined how the geometric tolerance of the bolt joints and threads of the load cell trains affect the performance of the TMS. Also, some techniques to overcome related problems are proposed.

Natural disasters often lead to regional failures that can cause network nodes and links co-located in a large geographical area to fail. Novel approaches are required to assess the network vulnerability under such regional failures. In this paper, we investigate the vulnerability of networks by considering the geometric properties of regional failures and network nodes. To evaluate the criticality of node locations and determine the critical areas in a network, we propose the concept of ${\alpha}$-critical-distance with a given failure impact ratio ${\alpha}$, and we formulate two optimization problems based on the concept. By analyzing the geometric properties of the problems, we show that although finding critical nodes or links in a pure graph is a NP-complete problem, the problem of finding critical areas has polynomial time complexity. We propose two algorithms to deal with these problems and analyze their time complexities. Using real city-level Internet topology data, we conducted experiments to compute the ${\alpha}$-critical-distances for different networks. The computational results demonstrate the differences in vulnerability of different networks. The results also indicate that the critical area of a network can be estimated by limiting failure centers on the locations of network nodes. Additionally, we find that with the same impact ratio ${\alpha}$, the topologies examined have larger ${\alpha}$-critical-distances when the network performance is measured using the giant component size instead of the other two metrics. Similar results are obtained when the network performance is measured using the average two terminal reliability and the network efficiency, although computation of the former entails less time complexity than that of the latter.

Static dischargers should be installed on air vehicle to emit a static electricity during flight. Especially, If static electricity is not removed by static discharger on the air vehicle, it makes ionization and corona effect on the edge of antenna and wing. Those phenomenon bring about performance degradation for radio communication and equipment operation. In this paper, the conditions such as climate, air vehicle's speed and frontal area were analyzed to design static dischargers. As a result, the static dischargers would be optimally designed for air vehicles and the performance of the static dischargers can verify according to the functional experiment. Therefore the result of this research will be used to make static discharger installation design for new air vehicle that have different size and mission.

In RADAR and SONAR detection systems, noise environment can be classified into homogeneous and heterogeneous environment. Especially heterogeneous environments are modelled as target masking and clutter edge. Since the variability-index (VI) CFAR, a composed CFAR algorithm, dynamically selects one of the mean-level algorithms based on the VI and the MR (mean ratio) test, it is robust to various environments. However, the VI CFAR still suffers from lowered detection probabilities in heterogeneous environments. To overcome these problems, we propose an improved VI CFAR processor where TM (trimmed mean) CFAR and a sub-windowing technique are introduced to minimize the degradation of the detection probabilities appeared in heterogeneous environments. Computer simulation results show that the proposed method has the better performance in terms of detection probability and false alarm probability compared to the VI CFAR and single CFAR algorithms.
