In this paper, nonlinear transonic flutter analyses of a composite missile fin considering the effect of delamination are conducted. An effective modal analysis methodology is adopted and verified with the experimental modal test data for laminated composite plates with delamination. Extended version of the in-house computational aeroelastic analysis program with the transonic small-disturbance (TSD) code is used in order to predict the flutter dynamic pressure of the delaminated composite fin models. In the subsonic, transonic, and supersonic flow regions, nonlinear time-domain flutter analyses are performed for various delamination conditions, and aeroelastic characteristics due to the delamination phenomena are examined in detail.

To predict the aerodynamic characteristics of the grid fins from subsonic to supersonic speeds, low fidelity SW as well as CFD SW were applied. VLM(Vortex Lattice Method) and SE(Shock-Expansion) method were used at subsonic and supersonic speed domain respectively for the rapid prediction of low fidelity SW. For 2 configurations of the grid fins, the CFD computations and tests using the trisonic wind tunnel were also performed to compare the results of the grid fins. The results of low fidelity SW, CFD SW and the wind tunnel tests data were agreed well each other. Through further research on the grid fins, the effective parameters of the grid fin configurations according to the speed regime will be investigated.

미사일의 표적 충돌각을 원하는 각도로 제어하는 것은 표적의 취약점을 공략하기 위해 필수적인 기술이다. 표적 타격 지점 및 충돌각을 고려하지 않으면 타격에 성공하였다고 하더라도 표적의 방어 능력이 좋거나 신관이 충돌각에 민감하면 표적의 효과적인 파괴에 실패할 수도 있다. 이런 경우 유도 미사일의 종말 유도 효율을 증가시키기 위해 미사일이 표적을 타격하는 각도인 표적 충돌각(Impact Angle)을 제어할 수 있으면 적정 비행경로의 설정에 유리하고 우회공격 등이 가능할 뿐 아니라 미사일 탄두의 효과를 극대화할 수 있다. 하지만 이러한 장점을 갖는 표적 충돌각 유도 기법에 대한 연구는 아직 활발하게 행해지고 있지는 못하다. 기존 연구 결과들은 2차원 평면상에서의 충돌각 제어만을 다루고 있어, 요와 피치 채널의 커플링 문제가 있는 BTT 미사일에 적용하기가 어렵다는 문제점을 갖고 있다. 또한 미사일 동역학을 무시하거나 단순화하여 문제를 풀고 있기 때문에 실제 상황에 적용이 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 3차원 공간상에서의 롤 명령을 모두 포함하면서 동시에 미사일 자동조종제어기, 핀 구동기 동역학을 모두 고려한 새로운 BTT 미사일의 표적 충돌각 유도 기법을 제안한다.

A GPS receiving antenna installed in the missile's warhead is designed and fabricated at a center frequency 1.575 GHz. The circular shaped antenna is installed in the middle of the warhead where the antenna's patch and the ground plane are connected with a hollow cylindrical shaped short pin. Using the dual feeding and phase difference method, an omni-directional radiation pattern which direction is normal to the missile's axis(H-plane) is obtained. The optimized diameters of the circular patch and the cylindrical ring typed shorting pin of the GPS receiving antenna which use the FR4.material(dielectric constant $\varepsilon_r=4.6$) are 59.5 mm and 14 mm, respectively. The cylindrical body with diameter 100 mm and height 500 mm is attached to the lower part of the warhead in order to complete the missile figure. The radiation patterns are measured by changing the angle and phase between the dual feeding points. When the phase difference of dual feeding is $100^{\circ}$ and the angle between the dual feeding points is $100^{\circ}$, the nearly omni-directional radiation pattern in the H-plane is obtained. In this case, the antenna gain is -5.55 dBd and the relative level difference between the maximum and the minimum radiation intensity is 3.98 dB.

Three dimentional unsteady Euler equations are solved and an integration method is presented to predict the dynamic stability derivatives of transonic missiles. Results for the Basic Finner model are compared with several experimental data to vaildate the prediction capability of the present method. The variations of dynamic stability derivatives are discussed with respect to angle of attack, Mach number, and rotation rate. Results show that shock waves between fins enhance the pitch-damping characteristics in transonic region. Results also imply that the Euler equations can give the damping coefficients with comparable accuracy.

The recently developed autopilot controller can make the input-output (I/O) dynamic characteristics of the nonlinear missile dynamics linear and independent of flight conditions. However, significant fin actuator dynamics can degenerate the I/O dynamic performance of the overall system. In this paper, we propose a singular perturbation-like method to compensate the effect of significant fin actuator dynamics in nonlinear missile control. The proposed compensation method does not require the time derivatives of fin angles but can maintain the linear I/O dynamic characteristics provided by the recently developed autopilot controller.
