유도탄을 수직으로 발사하는 방식은 유도탄 자체 추진기관 추력을 이용한 추력발사(일명 hot launch) 방식과 발사대의 사출장치를 이용한 가스사출발사(일명 cold launch) 방식의 2가지로 분류할 수 있다. 대부분의 수직발사 유도무기체계는 추력발사 방식을 채택하여 왔으며, 가스사출발사 방식은 80년대 초반에 들어와서 적용하기 시작한 신기술로 러시아가 최초로 수직발사 대공 유도무기체계인 S300계열 및 TOR 체계에 채택한 이후 계속 발전되고 있다.

This paper presents a numerical analysis of behaviors of rear closer of vertical launch system under rocket plume based on fluid structure interaction analysis. The rocket plume loading is modeled by fully Eulerian method and elasto-plastic behavior of rear cover is calculated by total Lagrangian method based on a 9-node planar element. The interface motion and boundary conditions are described by a hybrid particle level-set method within the ghost fluid framework. We compare the fluid flow pattern between different rear closer models which are elast-plastic and rigid deformation.

The gas management system for a vertical launching system must be safely managed within a ship. The plenum and uptake are capable of containing and surviving a full-burning restrained firing without loss of gas management integrity. To secure the safety, the pressure characteristics with a supersonic under-expanded jet on a gas management system are numerically investigated using computational fluid dynamics. The results of present analysis and the preliminary design of the gas management system are described in this paper.

A launch vehicle is a one of the biggest hardware among the products of human technology. For huge size launch vehicles, to transport to Launch Complex and to erect on launch pad precisely and safely is very critical issue. Therefore, a final assembly, transportation, erection and holding in vertical position in launch pad requires very precise operational technology, processes and related aggregates. Those operational concept has been developed to comply with the requirement of each launch vehicle and technology level at that time. In this paper, a progress of operational methodology in global launch vehicles are described. In addition, methodologies used on the KSLV-1 Naro and the KSLV-II Nuri launch vehicle are introduced.

This paper describes the operation results of the GPS receiver system for KSLV (Korea Space Launch Vehicle)-I on the launch site at Naro Space Center that is the first spaceport of South Korea located at Goheung. All equipments of KSLV-I including the GPS receiver system should be monitored and controlled through hard-wired interface during KSLV-I is on standby at the launch pad. The GPS receiver for KSLV-I is connected to triple almost omni-directional patch antennas mounted on the cylindrical surface of KSLV-I that should be erected vertically on the launch pad until lift-off. Signal interference and multipath effects observed in the GPS receiver on the launch site are analyzed in this paper based on the GPS signals received from each GPS antenna.

In this paper, we described the rapid initial alignment techniques of projectile navigation system for use in inclined launch systems. One-shot alignment technique, one of the rapid initial alignment techniques, is possible to align a navigation system within seconds because it uses external information from an launcher navigation system. However, since it has only been used in vertical launch systems, its performance in inclined launch systems has not been verified. Therefore, this paper analyzed the error elements that occur when the one-shot alignment technique is applied to the inclined launch system, and introduced a method to improve the alignment performance by minimizing those errors. Additionally, By simulating and testing the performance of the proposed alignment technique, it was verified that it is effective even in an environment where a real navigation system is used.

KARI has been conducting R&D for independent development of KSLV-II since 2010. Vehicle holding device is a device for vertically standing SLV on the launch pad of launch complex and fixing the lower part of vehicle in order to firmly fix vehicle so that SLV does not fall from an external load such as a wind load. When thrust generated after the 1st stage engine ignition of SLV must exceed the takeoff weight of vehicle, and holding device should be quickly released so that it does not interfere with takeoff of vehicle like other ground equipment at the beginning of the launch. Pyro-valve is one of the key components constituting VHD, and it should have high reliability and quick response characteristics with similar functional parts applied to launch vehicle separation device and satellite separation device. Through this paper, I intend to broaden the overall understanding of the development process of pyro-valve for VHD and KSLV-II.

Weather launch criteria of launch at Oenarodo Space Center is important for the successful launch operation. In particular, most of the launch failure occurs during the period of separation from the launch pad, thus meteorological condition is critical at this phase. In earlier days, the weather launch criteria adopted wind and forecast data for the launch operation. Nevertheless, the control of position and stability require other meteorological components such as vertical wind shear, lightning, temperature and visibility, because the launch vehicle is moving mostly vertically. We analyze these meteorological components by using the observed data at KMA at neighboring Oenarodo to determine the weather launch criteria. These criteria need further refinements through long-term observation.

This paper proposes SDINS(strapdown inertial navigation system) transfer alignment method for vertical launcher using an adaptive filter in the ship. First, the velocity and attitude matching transfer alignment method is designed to align SDINS for vertical launcher. Second, the adaptive filter is employed to estimate measurement noise variance in real time using the residual of measurements. Because it is difficult to decide measurement noise variance when noise properties of the ship SDINS are changed. To verify its performance, it is compared with the EKF(Extended Kalman filter) using uncorrect measurement variance. The monte carlo simulation results show that proposed method is more effective in estimating attitude angle than EKF.
