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.

North Korea has various ballistic missiles from short range to long range such as inter continental ballistic missiles. Short range ballistic missiles such as SCUD series are threatening to Korea peninsula. Therefore Korea is constructing various missile defense systems to protect country. Parameters influencing the received power from the target to the radar are transmitting power, antenna gain, carrier frequency, RCS(Radar Cross Section) of target and distance from radar to target. Especially, RCS and distance from target are not radar performance defined parameters but external parameters. Therefore radar deployment position that large RCS can be observed and target to radar distance should be considered in parallel to improve target detection probability. In this paper, RCS pattern of SCUD-B ballistic missile is calculated, received power is analyzed based on radar deployment position during ballistic missile trajectory and methode for optimum radar deployment position to improve target detection probability is suggested.

Abroad warships are confronted with various menaces. The most critical threat of the warship is an Anti-Ship Missile (ASM). The ASM is able to be launched at a variety of environments and platforms. The ASM can evades conventional naval radar systems and electronic countermeasure techniques for providing a fatal damage to the warship. To cope with the ASM, an active decoy is an effective method to minimize the direct damage to the warship. The active decoy increases survivability of the warship because the ASM can lure pursuit of the active decoy instead of the warship. In this paper, our proposed method verifies an available response time of the active decoy to deal with the ASM using the active decoy of the warship in marine environments. We defined models of the warship, the ASM, and the active decoy, and executed simulation by combining the models. By the simulation result, the proposed method demonstrated the superiority of the mobile active decoy of the response time decoy among various active decoys, and estimated a protection area to prevent the ASM according the response time of the mobile active decoy against the ASM.

The North's short-range projectiles and missiles are the Iskander-class missiles of the S-300 series, with a range of 270-420 kilometers and an altitude of 40-50 kilometers, making it very difficult to respond with South Korea's detection radar or striking weapons. The North's handling of the Seoul sea of fire also makes it very urgent for the South to deploy the weapons to power or introduce them as soon as possible, as it can identify its intention to strike the Seoul metropolitan area by equipping such short-range rockets and missiles with nuclear or chemical weapons. We will be prepared to prep are for reckless provocations by securing our own technology by continuously developing the Korean missile defense system and striking system, Kill Chain, which is designed to defend short-range missiles in the long-term, and securing our own technology.

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.

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 analyses the effectiveness of Kill Chain (KC) and Korea Air and Missile Defense (KAMD), also known as the K2 systems, using monte carlo simulation. It is assumed that the K2 systems are consisted with unitary KC and multi-layered (upper-tier and lower-tier) KAMD. And each system has two or three arbitrary weapon systems and its combination makes 12 scenarios. Measures of effectiveness (MOE) of the K2 systems were defined as ratio of eliminated ballistic missiles from total threats. And total cost was calculated by number of weapon launched and its unit cost. MOE and total cost of the K2 systems were estimated using monte carlo simulation with a thousand iteration for each scenario. Cost-effectiveness analysis was performed and the best candidate was selected using fixed effectiveness approach. As a result, the performances of KC are prime factor that affects both effectiveness and total cost of the K2 systems. It is also, acquired proper level of lower-tier KAMD to achieve desired defense effectiveness. For future work, it needs to be performed cost-effectiveness analysis based on practical specification and life cycle cost of weapon systems.

The low-altitude PAC-2 Patriot missile system is the backbone of ROK air defense for intercepting enemy aircraft. Currently there is no missile interceptor which can defend against the relatively high velocity ballistic missile from North Korea which may carry nuclear, biological or chemical warheads. For ballistic missile defense, Korea's air defense systems are being evaluated. In attempting to intercept ballistic missiles at high altitude the most effective means is through a multi-layered missile defense system. The missile defense problem has been studied considering a single interception system or any additional capability. In this study, we seek to establish a mathematical model that's available for multi-layered missile defense and minimize total interception fail probability and proposes a solution based on genetic algorithms. We perform computational tests to evaluate the relative speed and solution of our GA algorithm in comparison with the commercial optimization tool GAMS.
