In order to respond to the ballistic missile threat of North Korea, the ROK military is constructing a multi-layered defense that can minimize the vulnerability of single-layered defense. Accordingly, it is necessary to study an operation plan which can maximize the intercept rate of a multi-layered defense system. And to study the operation plan of the Korean missile defense system, it must be considered that the operational environment of the Korean military and the effects of the strategic strike system. Therefore, this study proposes a simulation model that reflects the characteristics of the Korean missile defense system and analyzes four interceptor missile operation plans. The simulation result indicates that a high intercept rate can be achieved in various situations by comprehensively considering the ballistic missile threat estimate, interceptor missile reserve, and the strategic strike system effect.

This paper describes the utility of satellite sensors of the missile defense system using the estimation theory. The inherent flight characteristics of the missiles give the limitations in the response time and the countermeasures. In this point, the early warning and surveillance satellites are important. Using the Extended Kalman Filter, it is analysed LPU and MLU in DSP and SBIRS satellites, and presented the quantitative uncertainties of state estimates of non-rotational DSP compare to the rotating one.

It is important to operate a limited number of interceptors effectively to counter ballistic missile threats. The existing interceptor operating method determines the number of interceptors according to the level of TBM (Theater Ballistic Missile) engagement effectiveness applied to a defended asset. It can cause either excessive interceptor waste compared to the intercept probability or the intercept probability decrease. Thus, interceptor operating method must be decided considering the number of ballistic missiles, intercept probability and cost. This study proposes a mathematical model to improve the existing interceptor operating method. In addition, the efficiency indicator is proposed for trade-off between intercept probability and cost. As a result of the simulations, the mathematical model-based interceptor operating method can achieve better results than the existing interceptor operating method.

Since the first Aegis Cruiser USS Ticonderoga was constructed, Arleigh Burke class destroyers are being mass constructed as U.S. Naval capital surface ships and consistently improved the performance. In recent years, the newest aegis combat system, Baseline 9, was deployed. Aegis BMD, aegis ships which have BMD capability, is participated BMDS(Ballistic Missile Defense System) as a sea based BMD. And AN/SPY-1D will be replaced by AMDR(Air & Missile Defense Radar), advanced anti-air radar system to defend effectively against increased ballistic missiles threat from DDG-51 Flight III. In this paper, development status and technical characteristics of each type of aegis ships are researched and characteristics of AMDR are surveyed and described.

기존의 탄도미사일 방어무기의 배치와 관련된 대부분의 연구들은 배치규모가 결정된 상태에서 후보지 중 최적위치를 구하는 것이 일반적이며, 방어확률이 최대가 되는 것을 목적으로 하는 확률적 부분담당모델의 개념을 적용한다. 본 연구에서는 무기의 도입 및 배치를 담당하는 의사결정자들에게 보다 많은 상황과 변수를 가정할 수 있도록 하는 의사결정모델을 제안한다. 모델에는 기존에 고려하지 않았던 후보지의 수준 및 방호시설의 최소방어요구수준 등이 포함되어 있으며, 모델은 의사결정자들이 결정하는 결정변수에 따라 각기 다른 방어무기의 위치와 규모 및 방어확률을 제시 하게 된다. 모델의 결과로 제시되는 내용은 무기체계의 최초소요제기 단계에서 필요규모와 위치를 결정하고 또한, 그 결과 값이 최초계획단계의 대략적 무기배치규모와 상이할 경우는 그 값이 필요성과 타당성을 가질 수 있는 수치적 분석을 제공해 준다.

This research focuses on analysis of the flight trajectory characteristics of SLBM (Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile) of North Korea. Recently, North Korea tested launching of SLBM which is threatening international security. Also it is known that North Korea had possessed the technologies about SLBM since they disassembled submarines out of commission of the former Soviet Union. If the development of the SLBM of North Korea is completed, it should be affected as asymmetric threat to South Korea. Therefore, for active respondence to these threat, it is essential to analyze the SLBM systematically. In this point of view, this work made a SLBM flight model and simulated. In addition, we controled flight trajectories according to adjusting loft angle and described their characteristics. The sea-based ballistic missile defense system is required for an effective response to the flight trajectory of the SLBM from mid-course to terminal phase.

It is difficult to estimate missile flight trajectory since a ballistic missile velocity is highly fast and has inherent behavior such as corkscrew due to unstable descending. This paper describes a comprehensive analysis of the flight trajectory characteristics of ballistic missiles. Various missile flight ranges based the comprehensive flight trajectory characteristics are derived by an analytical approach. It is shown analytically that threat due to the flight characteristics is significantly increased with reducing maximum missile ranges. This work is basic research of the establishment of operational concept for the lower tier missile defense system implementation.

This paper analyzed flight trajectory characteristics of ballistic missiles considering effects of drag forces. It is difficult to intercept ballistic missiles which fly over atmosphere with supersonic speeds and small radar cross section (RCS). In particular, the velocities in the phases of boost and terminal are changed significantly due to the steep variation of the drag force. Therefore, in order to build up a successful ballistic missile defense systems, the effects of the drag forces should be considered in the analysis of ballistic missile trajectory characteristics. In this point of view, this work analyzed the effects of drag forces and derived the flight trajectory characteristics of Scud B, C and Nodong missiles. Model of the ballistic missile flight trajectory is considered the effects of Coriolis and centrifugal forces, and specifications of the missiles are open sources.

U.S. is constructing EPAA(European Phased Adaptive Approach) as a part of BMDS(Ballistic Missile System). The purpose of EPAA is to protect European NATO territory from Iranian ballistic missile threats. EPAA project consists of three phase, $1^{st}$ phase is completed as deploying transportable forces such as aegis BMD ships at the mediterranean, and $2^{nd}$ phase is on going. In this paper, the concept, characteristics, current status and future works of EPAA are surveyed and described.

Footprint is defined as ground area that is projected from the outer edges of the battle space protected by a defence system. This concept can be effectively used for making decisions on site selection of anti missile systems to defend against enemy's ballistic missiles. In this paper, simulations of ballistic missile trajectories based on various launch conditions are performed first and then the footprint is derived with engagement zone set as a boundary condition. Results of the simulation with various relative positions between the defense system and defended asset are also presented. The proposed method, in which the trajectories are generated based on launch point of the ballistic missile, has an advantage of approximating the defended area close to reality. Two applications are introduced in the present paper to describe how the derivation of defended area could be utilized in deployment decision of defense systems.
