Currently, there are many kinds of tracked armored vehicles in service and they have encountered various environment and situations. So there are many obstacles to operate them improperly such as an engine stall. The causes of engine stall are an insufficient fueling, a mixture of air-fuel or vapor lock, and load increment which results from a rapid steering or increasing a viscosity of lubricant by low temperature. In this paper, engine stall by load increment due to a rapid steering or increasing of lubricant viscosity on tracked armored vehicles is analyzed, the ways to prevent it are applied, and their degrees of improvement are evaluated.

Amphibious assault vehicles have been used in the Marine Corps. In recent years, their ability to move faster is becoming one of the most important considerations. At high speeds, the vehicle tends to sink at the stern and sometimes the opposite occurs. Such dynamic trim plays a significant role in determining the vehicle's hydrodynamic performance. Furthermore, an excessive trim by stern upsets the viewing angle. We have thus considered a stern hydrofoil to reduce the dynamic trim of the amphibious assault vehicle. Laboratory-scale resistance tests were conducted in a towing tank at the Seoul National University (SNU). This study aims to make a preliminary assessment of the hydrodynamic performance of the vehicle with the stern hydrofoil and to investigate permissible speed range of the vehicle. The experimental results show that the stern hydrofoil can successfully achieve a reduction of both the dynamic trim and the hydrodynamic resistance at running speeds above 20 km/h.

전차는 제1차 세계대전 중인 1916년 영국 육군에 의해 Mark-I 전차가 등장한 이래, 80여년동안 지상전에서 중요한 역할을 수행했으며, 미래에도 더욱 정교한 무기체계(피아식별 장비 부착, 개량형 장갑/방호기술, 강력한 추진 시스템, 무기의 유효성 등)로 발전될 것이다. 이에 따라 대전차 무기체계도 바주카형에서 LAW 및 다목적 대장갑차무기, 특히 대전차 미사일의 눈부신 발달(소형화, 견착식, 상부공격력, 관통능력 향상, 전자파 방해방지 등)로 전차와 대전차 무기는 "탁구 게임"을 연상케하는 치열한 경쟁이 되어 왔다. 즉 "창"과 "방패"와 같이 상대적 발전에 따라 지속적으로 첨단과학기술이 총동원되고 있는 추세이다. 이 글에서는 대전차미사일의 개발 성과와 발전 추세를 소개하고자 한다

This study aimed to identify the influence of the power components of the ammunition vehicle on the maximum speed. The maximum speeds of the engine and transmission changes were 3% and 1.7%, respectively. In the case of strong tension based on the track tension, the decrease was 4.6%. A 1.5% increase was obtained when the tension was weak. An examination of the maximum speed by dividing the track tension into six sections revealed the maximum speed to be highest when it was maintained below the middle. Experiments were performed by varying the orbital tension on both sides of the equipment. The maximum speed of the machine was affected by a large part of the tension. The maximum speed test was conducted by adjusting the tension at the driving test site. The results showed that when the tension was strong, the speed was 16.7% higher than the standard requirement. The speed was 28.3% at low tension. The influence of the maximum speed on the track tension was confirmed; the effect was greater than replacing the large parts.

This paper is the study of a design to eliminate the communication error that occurs between the main controller and the servo controller of the K56 ammunition-carrying armored vehicle. The K56 assists in the operation of the K-55A1 self-propelled gun by automating the supply and loading of ammunition. The CAN communication board of the ammunition carrier is a key-function product mounted inside the main controller and installed for communication with the servo controller. It was confirmed that an undefined error would occur intermittently in the existing CAN communication board, interrupting the operation of the ammunition supply system during the loading process. In this paper, in order to solve the problem, the cause of the failure is identified through analysis and a functional test of the communication signal between the main controller and the servo controller. The error was resolved by redesigning and improving the Read/Write algorithm. Finally, the proposed cause analysis and design effectiveness were verified through the CAN communication board single item test and a system equipment application test. It is expected that this study will serve as a reference for improving defense capabilities through improving the reliability of CAN communication boards and by improving the reliability of the overall electronic equipment using DPRAM.

Traditionally, a design has been applied on a various defense area for the improvement of the mobility, reducing the radar detection area and other reasons. In case of Korean Wheeled Armored Vehicle(WAV), a design has been also applied for retaining the agility and threatening feature in the battlefield. However some figures has been changed because of constraints such as assembling and manufacturing in the development stage. Today, the government has planned to develop the Wheeled Armored Command Post Vehicle(CPV), a variant of WAV, and it is necessary to apply the latest design trend, which is suitable for the concept of the CPV, on it.

Purpose: A main purpose is to increase the operational rate and reduce operating maintenance costs by Improving the durability of Blower of Military Armored Vehicle and Self-propelled Artillery. As a result, it is expected to improve the service quality of customers. Methods: After analyzing the cause of the stop of the blower, the improvement plans were established and the effectiveness of each improvement plans were verified by testing. Results: Mechanical, electrical and environmental factors affecting brush wear were reviewed, but it was difficult to specify the cause, which necessitated a review of the application of the BLDC motor. Conclusion: After applying the BLDC motor to the blower, tests proved that the existing blower can be replaced. It is expected that this study will help improve the durability life of similar equipment that is applied with Brushed DC motors as well as blowers.

The objective of this study was to reverse engineer a swash plate type piston pump mounted on a wheeled armored vehicle and to analyze the structure of the pump case. From the analysis, the weak parts were identified and corrected in the final design. Each element corresponding to the piston pump case was analyzed. The analytical method was given static boundary conditions, load conditions and confirmed displacement, strain, stress, and safety factor. Plastic deformation and damage were also confirmed and the component elements redesigned through structural analysis Structural analysis and vibration analysis were carried out for the components of the piston pump case. The piston pump model was finally modified by structural analysis and vibration analysis results for each component assembly, and a prototype was designed. Durability test and environmental test were carried out and the test results satisfied all of the requirements. Therefore, the analytical method presented in this study can be utilized as a methodology for element component design in the development of various piston pumps.

Cavitation tests for a waterjet propulsor of an amphibious vehicle are carried out in the Large Cavitation Tunnel. Waterjet pump performances and cavitation characteristics including thrust breakdown performances are investigated in the tests. In addition, cavitation characteristics for waterjet propulsors working inside the intake are calculated by using a commercial CFD code, Star-CCM+. Sliding mesh is implemented to a rotating impeller and the k-epsilon turbulence model is chosen. Cavitation bubble growth and collapse are estimated using the Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model based on Rayleigh-Plasset equation. Calculated results agree fairly well with experimental results. The re-design of the waterjet propulsor is performed to enhance waterjet cavitating performances and calculated results show that waterjet thrust breakdown characteristics are significantly improved.
