In this study, we analyzed the relation between physical/mechanical properties and ballistic properties for several engineering ceramics that were expected to use as armor material. After physical/mechanical measurement, we measured ballistic properties about KE(Kinetic Energy, L/D=10.7, tungsten heavy alloy) and HEAT(High Explosive Anti-Tank, K215) projectiles. Increasing Young's modulus/density, hardness/density and flexural strength/density ratios, ballistic properties were generally increased. Especially it appeared that the ballistic property about KE projectile was lineally increased, as HEL/density ratio increased.

In this study, we tried to invent ceramic armor material with brilliant ballistic properties by the silica of the high compression-expansion ratio and based on alumina that has the most economical and higher ballistic efficiency. After we choose three compositions, proper sintering temperature for each composition was decided. After physical/mechanical measurement, we measured ballistic properties about KE(Kinetic Energy, L/D=10.7, tungsten heavy alloy) and HEAT(High Explosive Anti-Tank, K215) projectiles. As a result, $46\%\;Al_2O_3\;-\;51\%\;SiO_2$ of three compositions had the highest ballistic efficiency md better properties than alumina.

155mm 탄에 항력감소장치를 부착하여 탄의 비행중에 형성되는 탄저부의 항력(Base drag)을 감소시켜 사거리를 연장한 무기체계가 미국 등을 비롯한 많은 국가에서 실용화되고 있다. 국과연은 이미 155mm 신형 자주포탄에 적용되는 항력감소장치(항력감소제 그레인, Base & Closure, 점화장치)는 개발하여 사거리를 연장(약 35%)한 것으로 보고하고 있다. 본 연구는 추후 실용화가 예상되는 155mm 성능개량형 DPICM탄(미제 M864급)에 적용할 수 있는 항격감소제용 저연소속도 혼합형 추진제 개발을 목표로 하여, 이에 동등한 추진제 특성(기계적성질, 연소특성, 접착력, 발열량 등)을 가지는 추진제, 라이너(Inhibitor)의 조성개발을 실시하였다. 그리고 개발된 혼합형 추진제 조성의 성능(사거리 및 분산도)을 확인하기 위하여 항력감소제용 그레인을 제작, 155mm 성능개량형 DPICM탄에 적용하여 발사시험을 실시하였다.

미국, 스웨덴, 이스라엘을 비롯 일부 국가에서는 재래식 155mm 곡사포탄에 항력감소장치(일종의 가스발생기)를 부착하여 탄의 비행 중에 형성되는 탄저부 항력(Base Drag)을 감소시켜 사거리를 연장한 무기체계가 실용화되어 있다. 국과연은 155mm HE탄에 적용되는 항력감소장치를 개발하여 약 35% 정도 사거리를 연장한 것으로 보고되고 있다. 당사는 '96년 11월 미제 155mm M864(DPICM)와 동등한 성능을 갖는 항력감소장치 개발에 착수, 발사시험을 통해 미제 M864와 동등한 성능의 항력감소제를 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 항력감소장치의 사거리 연장 원리와 본 항력감소제 개발내용 및 시험결과를 기술하였다.

회전익항공기의 연료셀 내부는 연료보관 및 연료를 엔진으로 공급하기 위한 배관과 구성품들이 배치되어 있다. 특히, 기동헬기는 전장에서 사용되는 헬기로써, 수 km 고도에서 비행하는 고정익기보다 비행고도가 낮기 때문에 피탄될 가능성이 높다. 따라서, 항공기의 생존성을 극대화하기 위해서는 피탄시 유체내부 상승압력에 의한 내부 LRU 가 받는 영향성을 검토하여 설계되어야 함은 주지의 사실이다. 그러나, 내탄시험은 연료셀 자체의 제작비용 및 준비기간이 상당히 소요되고, 실탄사용에 따른 시험수행의 제약 때문에 수치모사를 통한 관련 데이터의 확보가 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 유체-구조 수치모사 프로그램인 Autodyn을 이용하여 회전익항공기 연료셀의 내탄 수치모사를 수행하여, 피탄 후 연료셀 내부에서의 탄 거동을 분석하고 유체내부의 압력과 연료 셀 자체의 등가응력을 평가하였다.

This paper presents results of flight experiments on a navigation algorithm including multiplicative extended Kalman filter for estimating attitude of the guided munition. The filter describes orientation of aircraft by data fusion with low-cost sensors where measurement update is done by multiplication, rather than addition, which is suitable for quaternion representation. In determining attitude from vector observations, the existing approach utilizes a 3-axis accelerometer as a 2-axis inclinometer by measuring gravity to estimate pitch and roll angles, while GNSS velocity is used to derive heading of the vehicle. However, during accelerated maneuvers such as coordinated flight, the accelerometer provides inadequate inclinometer measurements. In this paper, the measurement update process is newly defined to complement the vulnerability by using different vector observations. The acceleration measurement is considered as a result of a centrifugal force and gravity during turning maneuvers and used to estimate roll angle. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through flight experiments.

In this report, the process characteristic(viscosity), mechanical properties, combustion characteristics, ground and flight test results of propellants used for a rocket-assisted projectile are described according to several aluminum contents. As the aluminum content increased, initial viscosity decreased, viscosity build-up accelerated, and combustion rate and pressure exponent decreased. In the ground fire test, the total impulse of the rocket-assisted projectiles containing 10 wt% of aluminum were 5% higher than that of the rocket-assisted projectiles containing 2 wt% and 18 wt% of aluminum. The motor efficiency compared to the theoretical performance was 85.6% with 18 wt% of aluminum, the lowest value among the propellant compositions.

Tests and evaluations following the U.S. MIL-HDBK/STANDARD were successfully conducted to assure the performance of the air-to-surface guidance kit which was developed first in Korea. Various ground tests confirmed the operation capability and reliability of the guidance kit, and flight tests proved very good mid-range gliding performance and accuracy of the gliding bomb which was a general purpose bomb with the guidance kit.

The characteristics of ballistic missiles are changing rapidly but studies have mostly focused on fragmentary flight trajectory analysis estimating the changing characteristics of some types, while there is a lack of research on comprehensive and efficient ballistic search, detection and prediction for missiles including the new types that have been gaining attention lately. This paper analyzes the flight trajectory characteristics of ballistic missiles at various ranges considering flight path angle adjustment, specific impulse and drag force with altitude based on the optimized equations of motion reflecting the parameters of North Korea's general and new types of ballistic missiles. The flight trajectory characteristics of representative ranges for each ballistic missile were analyzed by adjusting the flight path angle in the minimum energy method, lofted method, and depressed method. In addition, High value target can attacked by ballistic missiles considering flight path angle adjustment at various points. It's expected to be used to Threat Evaluation and Weapon Allocation, and deployment of defense systems by interpreting the analysis of the latest Iskander-class ballistic missiles and the new multiple rocket launcher.

This paper describes the development of the dual-thrust flight motor for enhancing the hit probability of unguided rockets. We designed dual-thrust flight motor by shape modification of the double base propellant with high burning rate, and confirmed the dual-thrust performance by static firing tests. The test results showed the thrust ratio of about 1:7.6 between sustaining phase and boosting phase, and had a quietly normal dual-thrust characteristics. And the results showed that there was not the fire extinction phenomenon of propellant due to the pressure drop.
