Air-to-ground missile(AGM), which can be operated by being mounted on the outside of the aircraft, is capable of precision strikes, ensuring high survivability. Helicopter, which is one of the AGM operating platforms, is reported to experience a lightning strike once between 1000 and 20000 flight hours in average. When the lightning strikes the helicopter fuselage, lightning transient signal can be induced to internal and external electronic equipment cables through the skin of the helicopter. If the transient signal exceeding the criteria to electrically initiated device(EID) related to the explosive in the AGM can affect the safety of the helicopter by a warhead explosion, etc. In this paper, we suggest an indirect lightning test method to prove the safety of AGM on helicopter, and present the indirect lightning test results.

A weapon control algorithm equipped on a fighter is closely related to the mission accomplishment and fighter survivability during the engagement. In the case of a air-to-surface missile, the weapon control algorithm typically provides a pilot the target shoot-down possible region known as launch acceptability region(LAR) in the multi function display(MFD). LAR is produced by the range table(RT) through computation of an engagement range. In this paper, the operation system of AGM-84 and AGM-88 air-to-surface missiles is introduced. And the engagement range computation and LAR algorithm based on the real-time pseudo 6-DOF simulation are proposed. In order to verify the performance of the algorithm, numerical engagement simulations of air-to-surface missiles to produce LAR have been done.

2차대전 중에 감행된 항공기에 의한 대지상공격의 특징은 수십, 수백 대의 폭격기들을 동시에 동원한 대공습으로 많은 인명이 살상되었습니다 그러나 걸프전에서 다국적군은 항공기가 파격될 위험을 감내하면서 정밀한 타격능력을 가진 유도탄이나 공대지미사일로 민간인 지역을 피해가며 목표물만 정확히 공격하였습니다 그 결과로 다수의 나라로부터 역침공에 대한 외교적 묵인 또는 지원을 얻어내는데 성공하여, 전장에서의 승리와 함께 외교전에서도 완벽한 승리를 할수 있었습니다

Fighter jets employ guided missiles equipped with seekers to counter enemy air threats. Short range guided missiles(SRM) usually carry infrared(IR) seekers and are used to engage targets within visual range. On the other hand, medium range guided missiles(MRM) often utilize radio frequency(RF) seekers to engage targets beyond visual range. Medium range guided missiles do not activate their seekers until they reach the detection range of the seeker, and the aircraft's radar guides them for a certain distance. This guidance method is called Missile Data Link(MDL), and it can be implemented in either one-way or two-way communication modes, depending on the missile's communication system. In this paper, we discuss MDL based on these two communication modes, along with the integration of RADAR, mission computers, and guided missiles.

An attack aircraft such as a fighter needs an accurate location information of a target for the exact air-to-air or air-to-ground attack. In this paper a method is proposed that generates a location information of an air-to-ground target just in use of HMD without the target tracking sensors such as the radar and the FLIR. HMD is an embedded device to induce the seeker header to indicate the direction of a pilot's head. As a simulation result, it is founded that the target location information is able to be generated with a high degree of precision by using of HMD as a passive sensor.

The North Korea nuclear issue is now posing a serious security threat to the Korea and Northeast Asia. Accordingly, the South Korean military is pushing for the introduction of long-range air-to-surface flights and the development of domestic nuclear facilities that can precisely hit North Korea headquarters building and nuclear facility even hundreds of kilometers above the border. In this paper, we removed the cable braid for securing the weight of the missile among several design elements for long-range air-to-surface missile development and estimated and analyzed the resulting performance. The possibility of braid removal was analyzed in terms of crosstalk inside the cable and CS114, RE101 of MIL-STD-461F.

In the case of aircraft-launched guided weapons, various interface tests such as MIL-STD-1760 based power source, discrete signal, MUX communication as well as BIT of missile can verify system safety and reliability. The purpose of this case study is to develop a test bench based on MIL-STD-1760E for interoperability testing between aircraft and weapons. We proposed a testing method of the launch sequence based on the defined TIME LINE in the development phase of the missile system from the application of the power of the missile to the targeting, the transfer order, and the missile separation process. Furthermore, it will be a reference model that can maximize the verification scope in the development phase of the air to surface missile system by simulating abnormal situation to the inert missile using the error insertion function.

Recently, the domestic demand for weapon systems based on aircraft platforms is gradually increasing. In particular, the demand for effective precision guided missile(PGM) which cruises for several hundred kilometers after launch to strike the ground target is rising drastically, but it is in the early stages of development, and research based on it are limited. This paper is a study on the power converter unit(PCU) within PGM which is mounted on an aircraft platform based on MIL-STD-1760, which is an interface between an aircraft and PGM. We investigated the electrical properties and structure of the umbilical connector, and the aircraft/store electrical interconnection system. Also, the focus on the design specifications of the PCU that supplies power were described. This result 3 phase AC input, which is the state for the guided simulation power supply in the state of being mounted on an aircraft that rectification method with power factor correction(PFC) compared to bridge rectifier circuit. In the future, it may be used as a basis for power supply design on aircraft mounted weapon systems.

A composite guidance scheme is proposed for air-to-ground anti-tank missiles launched from an airborne platform. Long-range anti-tank missiles usually use a fiber optic line (FOL) for the datalink between an operator and the missile to obtain real-time target information and to command the missile. Also, impact angle control is used to maximize the warhead effectiveness, but it should be carefully implemented due to interference between the launch platform and the FOL. Thus, the proposed guidance scheme takes into account both impact angle and FOL constraints. Under system lag and acceleration limits, a selection method of guidance gains and calculation logic of the maximum achievable impact angle are proposed for a guideline of practical implementation. The performance of the proposed guidance scheme is investigated by nonlinear simulations with various engagement conditions.
