Recently, several studies were conducted on the micro-Doppler(MD) phenomenon to identify a warhead from decoys. Both, the warhead and decoy, can be modeled as various shapes and maneuver with their own micro-motion. Their MD phenomenon can be demonstrated by amplitude modulation and phase modulation. Most studies have utilized approximate solutions to express the amplitude modulation regardless of various warhead and decoy shapes. However, the exact solution of the amplitude modulation is required for more effective warhead identification. In this study, we proposed a new modeling method of receiving radar signals from warheads and decoys based on physical optics. The proposed solution was evaluated using an electromagnetic prediction technique and computer-aided design models.

When a radar tracks the warhead of a ballistic missile, decoys of a ballistic missile put a heavy burden on the radar resource management tracking the targets. To reduce this burden, it is necessary to be able to separate the signal of the warhead from the received dynamic radar cross section (RCS) signal on the radar. In this paper, we propose the method of separating the dynamic RCS of each target from the received signal by the Hough transform which extracts straight lines from the image. The micro motion of the targets was implemented using a 3D CAD model of the warhead and decoys. Then, we calculated the dynamic RCS from the 3D CAD model having micromotion and verified the performance by applying the proposed algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed method can separate the signals of the warhead and decoys at the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 10dB.

Modal parameters of a structure are the important factor to control the missile maneuver. In general, a dummy structure is used for the modal test of missile structure instead of the real warhead and propellant because there may be the danger of a explosion by the electric shock of test equipment, such as the exciter and the power amplifier. However, the modal testing of a real missile structure is required to acquire the modal parameters and to analyze the missile performance accurately. The new test system and technique are developed to get rid of the danger and secure the safety during the testing. This test system is made of with the computer network system and controlled remote from test site. Using His new test system, the modal test of real missile structure is performed successfully and its validity is proven.

This paper is concerned with the numerical simulation result of pressure propagation to the main charge by warhead penetration into concrete targets. In this study, we developed on-line pressure measurement method in the main charge during warhead penetration. Using the on-line pressure measurement method, we successfully recorded the pressure-time history in the main charge during the field penetration test. Then we compared result of numerical simulations with test data and found that the simulation results are in good agreement with the test results. Finally, through the numerical calculations it is concluded that the installation of liner is effective in reducing pressure level produced in the main charge.

The design of missile require extremely small warheads that must be highly efficient and lethal. The penetration characteristics of each penetrator and the total number of penetrators on the warhead are obvious key factors that influence warhead lethality. The design of the penetrator shape and size are directly related to the space and weight of the warhead. The design of the penetrator L/D was directly related to the space and weight of the warhead. L and D are the length and the diameter of the projectile, respectively. The AUTODYN-3D code was used to study the effect of penetrator penetration. The objective of numerical analysis was to determine the penetration characteristics of penetrator produced by hypervelocity impacts under different initial conditions such as initial velocity, obliquity angle and L/D of penetrator. The residual velocity and residual mass were decreased with increasing initial impact velocity under $L/D{\leq}4$.

The Arena Fragmentation Test(AFT) is one of the important tasks for designing a high-explosive warhead. In order to measure the statistics of a warhead in the test, fragments of a warhead that penetrate steel plates are detected by using complex and expensive measuring equipment. In this paper, instead of using specific hardware to measure the statistics of a warhead, we propose to use an image processing based object detection algorithm to detect fragments in AFT. To this end, we use a hard-thresholding method with a brightness feature and apply a morphology filter to remove noise components. We also propose a simple yet effective temporal filtering method to detect only the first penetrating fragments. We show that the performance of the proposed method is comparable to that of a hardware system under the same experimental conditions. Furthermore, the proposed method can produce better results in terms of finding exact positions of fragments.

In the performance analysis of a weapon system, the combat effectiveness is difficult to go beyond the conceptual level in the early stages of development. This is especially true in the case of new concept of weapon system that has never existed before. In this study, with the aim of analyzing the effectiveness of small personal guided weapons, the design of the warhead and the detonation test were carried out and the results were analyzed. Afterwards, trajectory of fragments were calculated from the results, and it is applied to the anti-personnel effectiveness logic which is a part of combat simulation tool. At the same time, delivery accuracy logic was constructed from Monte-Carlo simulation with 6-DOF trajectory model. Subsequent simulated experiments were conducted with test scenarios to confirm the simulation logic reflecting the results of the warhead detonation tests for verifying the simulation approach of weapon systems, and it was confirmed that the simulation logic incorporating the results of the warhead detonation tests functioned properly.

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.

This study investigated Kevlar fabric impregnated with shear thickening fluid (STF). The STF performance was assessed by comparing bullet-proof characteristics of STF impregnated and pure Kevlar material. The analysis employed a circular steel ball as the nominal warhead, and bulletproof characteristics were evaluated by the warhead residual velocity. Various initial velocity conditions were employed, with different bulletproof characteristics apparent for each velocity region. The results of this study provide effective data for future bulletproof material design and application.
