Abstract

An air-burst munition is limited in space, so there is a limit on the size of the fuze and the amount of ammunition. In order to increase a firepower to a target with limited ammunition, it is necessary to concentrate the firepower on the ground instead of the omnidirectional explosion after flying to the target. This paper explores the design and verification of a ground-detection sensor that detects the direction of the ground and determines the flight-distance of an air-burst munition using a single axis geomagnetic sensor. Prior to the design of the ground detection sensor, a geomagnetic sensor model mounted on the spinning air-burst munition is analyzed and a ground-detection algorithm by simplifying this model is designed. A high speed rotating device to simulate a rotation environment is designed and a geomagnetic sensor and a remote-recording system are fabricated to obtain geomagnetic data. The ground detection algorithm is verified by post-processing the acquired geomagnetic data. Taking miniaturization and low-power into consideration, the ground detection sensor is implemented with analog devices and the processor. The output signal of the ground detection sensor rotating at an arbitrary rotation speed of 200 Hz is connected to the LED (Light Emitting Diode) in the high speed rotating device and the ground detection sensor is verified using a high-speed camera.

공중폭발탄은 소총용 탄으로 공간의 제약이 크기 때문에 탑재하는 신관의 크기와 탄약의 양에 제한이 있다. 제한된 양의 탄약으로 위력을 높이기 위해 표적의 위에서 지면 방향으로 공중폭발탄을 기폭시켜 화력을 집중하는 새로운 기법을 개발하였다. 본 논문은 1축 지자기 센서를 이용하여 공중폭발탄의 비행거리를 구하고 지면방향을 감지하는 초소형 저전력 지면감지 센서의 설계와 검증 방법에 관해 제시한다. 지면감지 센서를 설계하기 위해 회전하는 탄의 지자기 센서 모델을 분석하고 이 모델을 단순화하여 지면감지 알고리즘을 설계하였다. 공중폭발탄의 회전 환경을 모사하는 고속회전 시험치구를 제작하고 데이터를 획득하기 위한 지자기 센서와 원격측정 장치를 제작하여 지자기 데이터를 획득하고 이 데이터를 후처리하는 방법으로 지면감지 알고리즘을 검증하였다. 검증된 지면감지 알고리즘에 따라 소형 저전력을 고려하여 센서 일부를 아날로그 소자로 구현하고 나머지를 프로세서에서 프로그램으로 구현하여 지면감지 센서를 설계 제작하였다. 지면감지 센서의 출력신호를 육안으로 확인할 수 있게 LED에 연결하고 고속회전 시험치구에서 임의의 속도인 200 Hz로 회전시켰다. 고속카메라로 회전하는 지면감지 센서를 촬영하여 지면감지 출력신호가 발생한 시점을 지자기 센서 모델과 비교하여 검증하였다.
