최근 정보통신 기술 및 사물인터넷 기반 기술 등의 발달로 다양한 디바이스들이 네트워크로 연결되는 초연결 사회로 진입하고 있다. 이렇게 무선 통신 기술의 보편적 적용과 그에 따른 보안 기술의 중요성이 확대되고 있는 실정에서 국방 분야도 예외는 아니다. 이러한 흐름 속에서 국방 분야에 블록체인을 활용한 인증 기법에 대한 연구가 점차 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 기존 연구에서는 블록체인을 국방 분야에 적용하기 위한 기반 연구로서 지상 무기체계에 적용 가능한 블록체인 기반의 네트워크 인증 기법을 제안하였다. 이에 대한 후속 연구로서, 본 논문에서는 지상 무기체계에서 블록체인 기반의 메시지 인증 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법에서는 기존 연구에서 수행된 네트워크 인증 기법 하에서 메시지 단위 인증을 수행한다. 이를 통해 체계 연동 장비에서 전송되는 메시지에 대한 위변조 공격을 방지함으로써 데이터를 안전하게 전송하는 것이 가능하다. 제안하는 기법을 통해 무기체계에서의 데이터 전송의 신뢰성이 향상될 것으로 예상된다.

In this paper, a photonic-based microwave system technology is described, and a traveling-wave electro-optic modulator is designed and manufactured as a key component. The fabricated modulator is composed of a metal diffusion waveguide for optical transmission and a planar waveguide electrode on lithium niobate substrate for microwave transmission. The electro-optic response bandwidth of I and Q channels in a fabricated dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator were measured for 27.67 and 28.11 GHz, respectively. Photonic four times up-converted X-band frequency and linear frequency modulated signal were confirmed using the fabricated electro-optic modulator by S-band input signal. The confirmed broadband signal can be applied to a microwave system for surveillance and high-resolution ISAR imaging.

This paper proposes an improved test and evaluation methodology to be conducted for a in-flight threat-countermeasure encounter scenario. Although the conventional test method adopted in the precedent researches allows high precision and safety, such full-scale method is practically not appropriate to apply to small-scale test rounds for evaluating the subparts of the ammunition. To address this problem, this study suggests a readily-applicable, small-scale test and evaluation method of the subpart of the ammunition in firing test. In the threat-countermeasure encounter scenario, the results of several tests demonstrate that the proposed technique does not deteriorate the precision when the engagement point should be adjusted.

The COVID-19 pandemic is not over despite the emergency use authorization as can see recent COVID-19 daily confirmed cases. The viruses are not only difficult to diagnose and treat due to random mutations, but also pose threat human being because they have the potential to be exploited as biochemical weapons by genetic manipulation. Therefore, it is inevitable to the rapid antibody-based therapeutic platform to quickly respond to future pandemics by new/re-emerging viruses. Although numerous researches have been conducted for the fast development of antibody-based therapeutics, it is sometimes hard to respond rapidly to new viruses because of complicated expression or purification processes for antibody production. In this study, a novel rapid antibody-based therapeutic platform using single B cell sorting method and mRNA-antibody. High immunogenicity was caused to produce antibodies in vivo through mRNA-antigen inoculation. Subsequently, antigen-specific antibody candidates were selected and obtained using isolation of B cells containing antibody at the single cell level. Using the antibody-based therapeutic platform system in this study, it was confirmed that novel antigen-specific antibodies could be obtained in about 40 days, and suggested that the possibility of rapid response to new variant viruses.

최근의 전장 환경은 전투 공간에서 파악 가능한 모든 요소를 효과적으로 연계하여 정보의 우월성을 기반으로 전투력을 향상시키는 네트워크 중심전 체제로 진화하고 있다. 이에 우리 군은 네트워크 중심 전장 환경의 핵심 요소로서 전술다대역다기능무전기를 개발해왔으며, 기존 아날로그 방식 무전기를 기반으로 네트워크를 구성하여 운용하는 체계에 순차적으로 적용될 예정이다. 이는 지상 무기체계도 예외는 아니다. 이러한 상황에 따라, 본 논문에서는 지상 무기체계 환경에서 전술다대역다기능무전기의 성능 평가 및 분석을 수행한다. 성능 평가에서는 실제 전술다대역다기능무전기를 기반으로 지휘통제체계와 무장통제장치 간의 무선 통신환경을 모의 구성하여 성능 시험을 수행하였으며, 결과 분석을 통해 전술다대역다기능무전기의 지상 무기체계 적용 가능성을 확인한다.

In this study, the high-temperature dielectric constant of Si₃N₄ ceramics, a representative non-oxide-based radome material, was evaluated and the cause of the dielectric constant change was analyzed in relation to the oxidation behavior. The dielectric constant of Si₃N₄ ceramics was 7.79 at room temperature, and it linearly increased as the temperature increased, showing 8.42 at 1,000 ℃. As results of analyzing the microstructure and phase for the Si₃N₄ ceramics before and after heat-treatment, it was confirmed that oxidation did not occur at all or occurred only on the surface at a very insignificant level below 1,000 ℃. Based on this, it is concluded that the increase in the dielectric constant according to the temperature increase of Si₃N₄ ceramics is irrelevant to the oxidation behavior and is only due to the activation of charge polarization.

Ricin is a highly toxic protein which is produced in the seeds of the castor oil plant. Ricin toxin A chain has ribosomal RNA N-glycosylase activity that irreversibly hydrolyses the N-glycosidic bond of the adenine residue at position 4324 within the 28S rRNA. In this study, we developed non-toxic recombinant ricin vaccine(R51) in E. coli expression system, and evaluated efficacy of the R51 according to adjuvants. When the R51 was administered using aluminum hydroxide as an adjuvant, the vaccine efficacy was higher than that of TLR agonists or aluminum phosphate. Because it is time-consuming to administer the vaccine three times at three-week intervals, we investigated the survival rate and antibody titer of mice according to the change of time interval of vaccination. Interestingly, there was no difference in survival rate and antibody titer when R51 was administered at 0, 1, and 3 weeks or 0, 2, and 4 weeks compared to when administered at 0, 3, and 6 weeks. Therefore, the developed R51 vaccine is promising to protect soldiers from Ricin attack.

In the future battlefield centered on the concept of mosaic warfare, the need for an unmanned combat system will increase to value human life. It is necessary for Multiple/Heterogeneous Unmanned Combat Systems to have suitable mission planning method in order to perform various mission. In this paper, we propose the MTSR model for mission planning of the unmanned combat system, and introduce a method of identifying a task by a combination of services using a request operator and a method of allocating resources to perform a task using the requested service. In order to verify the performance of the proposed task-resource matchmaking algorithm, simulation using occupation scenarios is performed and the results are analyzed.

Drone based Magnetic Anomaly Detection measure a magnetic anomaly signal from the ferromagnetic target on the ground. We conduct a magnetic anomaly detection with 9 ferromagnetic targets on the ground. By removing the magnetic field measured in the absence of ferromagnetic targets from the experimental value, the magnetic anomaly signal is clearly measured at an altitude of 100 m. We analyze the signal characteristics by the ferromagnetic target through simulation using COMSOL multiphysics. The simulation results are within the GPS error range of the experimental results.
