A cruise missile uses wings and a jet engine like an airplane to reach the target after cruising a considerable distance. An integrated design of a cruise missile based on radar cross section (RCS) reduction and enhanced aerodynamic performance is indispensable, since it must be able to fly long-distance at subsonic speed without being detected by enemy radar. In this study, we designed a Taurus-type cruise missile and analyzed its RCS and aerodynamic characteristics using the physical optics (PO) technique and the Navier-Stokes CFD code. As a result, we obtained the optimal shape of cruise missile with improved aerodynamic performance and reduced RCS.

현존하는 유도탄은 대륙간탄도탄(ICBM)과 같은 유도탄(Ballistic Missile)에서부터 비행기에 흡사한 순항유도탄(Cruise Missile)에 이르기까지 종류가 다양하다. 유도탄은 사용목적에 따라 전략유도탄과 전술유도탄으로 구분되는데, 전략유도탄은 핵탄두를 갖고 있으며 전쟁억제를 목적으로 하고 전술유도탄은 실전에 사용하기 위해 만들어진 것이다. 이 글에서는 주로 전술유도탄을 중심으로 흔히 오토파일럿(Automatic Pilot)이라 부르는 기술현황과 그 개발추세를 살펴보기로 한다

An airbreathing propulsion system of a subsonic cruise missile is mainly composed of a small gas turbine engine, air intake and vehicle's fuel tank. The propulsion system integration work started from engine acceptance test is finally closed by ground functional test of the missile's propulsion section, after some modifications of engine's sub-components, development of engine-related onboard systems, interface analyses, and tests. The whole process and stepwise technologies of this system integration work are described herein.

With the recent development of defense technology, various aircraft armaments/equipments are being developed. Among them, cruise guided weapons(missile) for launching aircraft can be installed on aircraft aftersecuring reliability and safety through varioustests. In order to avoid collision with aircraft, missile separated from aircraft must release restraint of wing at the specified time, control wing in the specified direction. In order to confirm this, a test system that can control MIL-STD-1760 according to safety separation procedure and verify release performance is required. test system needs a function to check circuit for release of restraints and a function to check driving performance by controlling MIL-STD-1760. In addition, test system should be simulate environment separated from aircraft. This paper presented a testsystemthat can verify circuit and driving performance mounted on missile according to the safety separation procedure, and it was confirmed that it was normally separated from aircraft through flight tests.

The Air-breathing engine like Sea-Star I is a second propulsive force generator to fly to the target after the booster generating initial propulsive force is separated. The performance of Sea-Star I engine should be verified because the cruise missile controls direction and altitude during flight, so ground engine test is executed before flight test. This these presents evaluation method of ground engine test to verify performance of Sea-Star I's engine.

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.

This paper describes the interception using fine fragments and particles to hypersonic vehicles which have a vulnerability in thermal and pressure during glide-phase flight. This interception concept is based on the fast relative velocity and the flight vulnerability of hypersonic vehicles. For the density calculation of fragmentation and particle in interception, error analysis of end-phase was performed including radar, intercept missile and target maneuvering errors. In relation to the vulnerability and error analysis, the penetration characteristics of fine fragments in high temperature were analyzed. Presented the interception in glide-phase could be applied to the concept of horizontal multi-layer defense to hypersonic vehicles.
