This paper studied on the influence of naval vessel shape on vertical magnetic field after the vessel was demagnetized. The triangular shape, the rectangular shape and circular shape were adaped from vessel's structual drawings. Magneto-static FEM analysis was performed to obtain the iduced magnetic field due to earth magnetic field for those shapes. During demagnetization process, magnetic field of residual magnetization was observed. The holizontal and vertical magnetic field were calculated depending on vertical bias magnetic field through magnetc component seperation. To demagnetize naval vessel ship, demagnetizing coils shoud be wound more finely in the vow and stern of the ship than it should be in the mid-part of the ship.

To satisfy the operational requirements of surveillance radar and the operational concept of a ship combat system, an active-array-type antenna was designed using solid-state transmitters and receivers. The arrangement of the constituent electronic components of the antenna system, considerably large in size, and therefore, the antenna needs to be housed in a box. The rotational antenna system installed on a ship mast is installed in a sealed housing to protect the interior equipment from environmental conditions. The outer shape of the housing is that the antenna should be capable of rotating normally despite strong winds. Furthermore, in recent times, designs with low radar cross section (RCS) have attracted attention from the viewpoint of improving the stealth of the ship. In this light, four types of models are proposed for the outer shape design of the antenna system, and they are investigated from the viewpoint of low RCS design as well as wind load.

Recently, R.O.K. Navy is increasing re-usability of design data and application of M&S(Modeling and Simulation) through the establishment of collaborative product development environment focused on Naval Ship Product Model(NSPM). As a result, the reliability of the result of design is getting better, and furthermore, a study to improve quality of construction through simulation of production/operation is in progress. Accordingly, the database construction of design data and the DB(Database) quality become important, but there was not research related to those or it was just initial state. This paper conducted research about system of the quality verification process of shape elements which compose NSPM based on the quality verification guideline of NSPM as the result of the precedent study. The hull surface was limited as verification object. The study to verify two things that application of basic drawing by the cad model of hull surface, and whether there is error in the geometric quality of cad model was progressed. To achieve this goal, the verification criteria and algorithm were defined and the prototype system which is based on was developed.

A milatary ship without degaussing coil has a vertical magnetization to compensate magnetization induced by the vertical magnetic field component of earth magnetic field during demagnetization process. Flash D is very useful to acquire vertical magnetization. However this is hard to predict vertical magnetization. This experiment was investicated on another method, which used the only vertical bias magentic field. The specimens were prepared by thin Zn coated steel sheet with a thickness of 0.15mm. The shapes of 3 specimes was rectangular, triangular and circular cylinders. These shapes were corresponded to the shapes of bow, mid and stern of a vessel. Through FEM analysis, the difference of magnetic signatures for these specimens was recognized and the residual magnetization curve was measured. magnetic field was generated by a solenoid coil and magnetic signature was measured by a magnetic field sensor. A linearity between a vertical bias magnetic field and a vertical manetzation existed and the vertical magnetization of a miltary vessel was predicted by the linearity.

This paper investigated the separation of magnetic signal from a ferro-magnetic object. The magnetic signals were ILM(induced longitudinal magnetization) and IVM(induced vertical magnetization), which were induced by earth magnetic field and PLM(permanent longitudinal magnetization) and PVM(permanent vertical magnetization), which were due to a permanent magnetization of the object, respectively. Magnetic signal separation was based on the fact that magnetization vector could be analyzed according to longitudinal and vertical directions. Also the influence of non-uniform magnetic field from a rectangular coil on the separation was examined. A military vessel with a size close to rectangular coil has more errors on the magnetic signal separation.

The occurrence of cavitation on the propeller is directly linked to the naval ship's survivability, and it is necessary to design a propeller shape that delays the cavitation inception. However, the propeller cavitation can occur under various operating conditions, thus it is important to identify whether the propeller cavitation exists during operation as well as in the design phase. To this end, it is necessary to use noise or vibration signals on board to monitor the cavitation inception. In this study, a hydrophone and an accelerometer were installed on the ship hull right above the propeller to compare the performance of analyzing cavitation inception between acoustic and vibration signals. Also, a high speed camera was used to visually observe the occurrence of cavitation through an observation window. The measured results showed that the spectral shapes between acoustic and vibration signals were different, but the level increases at each frequency band and the overall level of the frequency band from 1 kHz to 10 kHz showed a similar tendency. The Detection of Envelope Modulation On Noise (DEMON) analysis also showed similar results for both acoustic and vibration signals, confirming that both hydrophones and accelerometers can be utilized in the analysis of cavitation inception.

Radar Cross Section (RCS) is a factor directly related to survivability, and a design to reduce the presence of this factor is needed. The upper structure, guns, radar and so on are related to warship RCS, but radar RCS reduction is difficult because of complex shapes involved. In this paper, an enclosed mast, which is one modern method for reducing radar RCS, and the characteristics of an applied Frequency Selected Surface (FSS) are analyzed. The RCS reduction ability of an enclosed mast has been confirmed by comparing RCS analysis results for a general radar with that of an enclosed mast for available frequency according to FSS shape. The characteristics of the enclosed mast have also been studied by analyzing the elevation angle and slope of the mast. General radar RCS was high because of its complex shape, but low RCS was shown for the enclosed mast model, which had a simpler shape.

In this paper, the radar cross section of the integrated mast module for battleship is analyzed. The computation program based on physical optics and physical theory of diffraction is developed and the computed results are compared with those of commercial simulator to check the accuracy of computations. The radar cross section is calculated in terms of the mast shape, incident angle, and polarization. The radar cross section can be reduced through the change of the mast slope and the chamfered mast, which can be applied to a mast with a low radar cross section.

Multiple reflections on exterior equipment with complex shape on naval ships cause unexpectedly high Radar Cross Section (RCS) distributions, and the directions of reradiated electromagnetic waves are hard to predict. Therefore, the optimum arrangement of exterior equipments should be considered according to the Radar Absorbing Structure (RAS) method. In this paper, the optimum arrangement for exterior equipments was determined to reduce multiple reflections and RCS even with complex shapes. The sequential descending arrangement method was used to establish an optimum arrangement algorithm. An LCS-2 type model was selected for optimum exterior equipment arrangements. In order to reduce computational cost, RCS distributions and multiple reflection path analysis of exterior equipments was carried out to select exterior equipments for optimum arrangement, and an optimum arrangement was determined to find positions with minimum RCS values. Also, the RCS reduction effect was analyzed using detectable radar range.

This paper proposes a design optimization technique for ship RCS signature reductions using Taguchi method. The proposed technique comprises of i)evaluating initial RCS signatures, ii)defining critical areas which should be modified as design parameters, and threat factors which can't be controlled artificially as noise parameters, and finally iv)finding optimum parameters via analyzing signal to noise ratios for designated characteristics. We applied the technique to a model ship and found that it is suitable for radar stealth designs. In addition, the proposed technique is applicable to submarine designs against sonar threats.
