This paper introduces experimental design and components model for analysing the impact of parameter(in the field of kinematics and sensor) on performance of hard-kill torpedo defence system. The simulation is implemented at the level of engagement and its scope is limited to final stage of engagement where main function of anti-torpedo system is operating. It improves the fidelity of physical realism by precise model of simulation components in the perspectives of kinematics, sensor capability and acoustic detection theory. This paper provides the experimentation methodology for evaluating parameter sensitivity which is required to analyze in advance of development the defense system with novel concepts. In addition, the experimental result shows the tendency of defense capability according to parameter adjustments.

We describe the improvement of insulation performance and the prevention of electrolyte leakage in a single cell in order to prevent the fuming phenomenon caused by leakage of electrolyte in a lithium secondary battery in a submerged weapon (torpedo) operated in Korea. A torpedo using lithium secondary battery as a main power source (propulsion battery) can induce the heat and fuming phenomenon, which makes it inconvenient for naval equipment operation in Korea. In the simulation test, the electrolyte of some battery cells leaked in the battery pack unit, leading to a short circuit between the main power circuit and the terminal tab of the high voltage part. We analyzed the characteristics and mechanism of the lithium secondary battery during this heat generation and fuming phenomenon. In order to prevent leakage of the electrolyte in the lithium secondary battery, the design was improved via fundamental (terminal tap enhancement) and complementary (insulation block selection and installation) measures. Comparison of the performance test before and after the improvement showed that the tensile strength of the tap terminal was improved about 2 times and the withstand voltage characteristic was improved. The application of quality improvement measures resulted in no fuming even after more than 3 years of field operation. This result is expected to improve the operation and storage stability of the torpedo propulsion cell.

유채(Brassica napus L. cv. Topas) 소포자 배양에 의한 기내 배발생 과정을 관찰하고 발생과정에 따른 총단백질의 변화 양상을 이차원 전기영동을 통하여 분석하였다. 배양에 적합한 소포자의 발달 단계는 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) 형광염색으로 핵상관찰을 통하여 결정하였다. 최초의 소포자 생존율은 63.9%였으며 이러한 생존율의 차이로 배양초기에 소포자의 이형성이 나타났다. 배 발달 경로에 따른 최초의 세포분열은 화분벽 안에서 균등분열로 시작되어 배병의 발달이 선행된 후 배 발생이 일어났으며, 구형, 심장형, 어뢰형으로의 배 발달은 여러 조직의 분화와 더불어 빠르게 진행되었다. 소포자배 발달과정을 치상단계의 소포자, 배양 3일째의 초기 분열세포, 구형 및 심장형배, 어뢰형배, 성숙한 자엽단계의 배 등의 5단계로 나누어 각각 2차원 전기영동을 수행한 결과, 최초 소포자 단계에서 나타났던 23개의 단백질들은 배 달달 경로로 진행됨에 따라 사라지고, 배양 3일째에는 8개의 단백질이 특이적 또는 지속적으로 발현되었다. 배의 발달과 더불어 20∼50 kD 사이에서 총 42개의 단백질이 급격히 나타나거나 또는 후기 배로 진행하면서 점차적으로 발현되었다.

Exploiting models and simulations are encouraged among the defense acquisition society, as now enforced by the Defense Aquisition Program Administration's regulations. They are useful and, sometimes, inevitable especially in an earlier phase of system development. Computer-simulation-based experimentation technique for the system operational performance analysis for a torpedo defense system is introduced in this paper. Problem definition for the torpedo defense system analysis and engineering efforts for models and simulations development are presented here, including defining measures of performance and effectiveness for the torpedo defense system, conceptual modeling for torpedo engagement and defense simulation, design of experimentation, design of simulator and experimentor, and hardware and software implementation of an analysis support tool - a system operations demonstration and experimentation simulator.

Due to its unmanned feature and some of being matured underwater technologies, UUV(Unmanned Undersea Vehicle) is increasingly considered as a utility player in today's battle-field. The operational benefit of submarine-based UUV operation could be enormous yet the integration challenges are significant, particularly for most of small conventionally-powered submarines. In this paper, we consider UUV operational methodology via the conventional submarine's torpedo tube. Two previous attempts having been done to retrieve the UUV through torpedo tube are reviewed, and their pros and cons are also analyzed. Then, an alternative option is proposed for UUV operation via torpedo tube. In addition, some of practical challenges are also discussed in the paper.

This study proposes a new convergence weapon system that combines the covert placement and detection abilities of a self-propelled mobile mine with the rapid tracking and attack abilities of supercavitating rocket torpedoes. This innovative system has been designed to counter North Korea's new underwater weapon, 'Haeil'. The concept behind this convergence weapon system is to maximize the strengths and minimize the weaknesses of each weapon type. Self-propelled mobile mines, typically placed discreetly on the seabed or in the water, are designed to explode when a vessel or submarine passes near them. They are generally used to defend or control specific areas, like traditional sea mines, and can effectively limit enemy movement and guide them in a desired direction. The advantage that self-propelled mines have over traditional sea mines is their ability to move independently, ensuring the survivability of the platform responsible for placing the sea mines. This allows the mines to be discreetly placed even deeper into enemy lines, significantly reducing the time and cost of mine placement while ensuring the safety of the deployed platforms. However, to cause substantial damage to a target, the mine needs to detonate when the target is very close - typically within a few yards. This makes the timing of the explosion crucial. On the other hand, supercavitating rocket torpedoes are capable of traveling at groundbreaking speeds, many times faster than conventional torpedoes. This rapid movement leaves little room for the target to evade, a significant advantage. However, this comes with notable drawbacks - short range, high noise levels, and guidance issues. The high noise levels and short range is a serious disadvantage that can expose the platform that launched the torpedo. This research proposes the use of a convergence weapon system that leverages the strengths of both weapons while compensating for their weaknesses. This strategy can overcome the limitations of traditional underwater kill-chains, offering swift and precise responses. By adapting the weapon acquisition criteria from the Defense force development Service Order, the effectiveness of the proposed system was independently analyzed and proven in terms of underwater defense sustainability, survivability, and cost-efficiency. Furthermore, the utility of this system was demonstrated through simulated scenarios, revealing its potential to play a critical role in future underwater kill-chain scenarios. However, realizing this system presents significant technical challenges and requires further research.
