In modern naval ships, an infrared signature suppression (IRSS) system is used to reduce the metal surface temperature of the heated exhaust pipe and high-temperature exhaust gases generated from the propulsion system. Generally, the IRSS systems used in Korean naval ships consist of an eductor, mixing tube, and diffuser. The diffuser reduces the temperature of the metal surface by creating an air film due to a pressure difference between the internal gas and the external air. In this study, design variables were selected by analyzing the shapes of a diffuser designed by an advanced overseas engineering company. The characteristics of the design variables that affect the performance of the IRSS were investigated through the Taguchi experimental method. A heat flow analysis technique for IRSS systems established in previous studies was used analyze the performance of the diffuser. The performance evaluation was based on the area-averaged value of the metal surface temperature and exhaust gas temperature at the outlet of the diffuser, which are directly related to the intensity of the infrared signature. The results show that the temperature of the exhaust gas was significantly affected by changes in the diameter of the diffuser outlet, and the temperature of the diffuser's metal surface was significantly affected by changes in the number of diffuser rings.

To improve the flow distribution at channel locations in the welded plate heat exchanger with "L"-type inflow, the flow visualization of Model 1 was carried out. Besides, the characteristics of flow distribution was investigated experimentally according to the header shape. The inlet flow rate for each channel location was increased at the side channels but decreased at the central channels. In the case of Model 2, which has a slant structure added to the basic header of Model 1, the unevenness of inlet flow increased by 23% from 0.019 to 0.023 as compared to Model 1. On the other hand, Model 3, which has a baffle structure added to Model 2, showed 0.064 unevenness in inlet flow, which was a 36% reduction one compared to Model 1. To improve the distribution at each channel in the welded plate heat exchanger with "L"-type flow, it is necessary to improve the header external shape for the guide of flow as well as the baffle structure for reduction of vortex flow.

The gas management system for a vertical launching system must be safely managed within a ship. The plenum and uptake are capable of containing and surviving a full-burning restrained firing without loss of gas management integrity. To secure the safety, the pressure characteristics with a supersonic under-expanded jet on a gas management system are numerically investigated using computational fluid dynamics. The results of present analysis and the preliminary design of the gas management system are described in this paper.

Towed array SONAR is deformed because it operates in fluid such as an ocean. It especially undergoes significant change in shape as a towing vessel takes a turn. In this case, beam pattern synthesis of the line array is limited, resulting in degradation in quality such as signal-to-noise ratio. This paper presents a modified two-step least squares algorithm based on the two-step least squares method. The shape of the sea-operated line array formation with the towing vessel changing course(angle) was modeled and the algorithm was subsequently applied. While changing course and location of the main lobe in beam pattern was altered, signal-to-noise ratio of steering beam pattern synthesis was analyzed by algorithm (proposed and others). As a result, the proposed algorithm presented improvement in performance by 2dB compared to other algorithms while forming relatively constant beam pattern.

효율적인 인터페이스 정의 및 관리를 위하여 개발된 MDMS (Message Definition and Management System) 는 인터페이스 요구사항명세서(IRS: Interface Requirement Specification)과 인터페이스 설계기술서 (IDD: Interface Design Description), 인터페이스 구현 및 통합의 단계로 이루어진 인터페이스 개발 과정을 통합 관리할 수 있도록 해준다. 이러한 통합관리는 인터페이스 개발에 따른 IRS, IDD, 구현코드에 걸친 일관성 유지를 쉽게 해주며, 소프트웨어 개발 과정에서 가장 문제가 많이 발생하는 단계라고 할 수 있는 소프트웨어 통합에 있어서 인터페이스 불일치로 인한 문제의 대부분을 제거해 준다. MDMS 기반의 인터페이스 관리는 한번의 인터페이스 정의로 IRS, IDD, 송수신 코드까지 생성함으로써 인터페이스 정의 및 개발의 단계를 한단계로 축소하여 각 단계 사이의 불일치 발생이 미연에 방지되며, 일관성 유지 노력이 필요없다. 삼성탈레스에서는 2008 년 이후 10 여개의 함정전투체계 프로젝트의 소프트웨어 개발에 MDMS 를 적용하여 소프트웨어 개발 생산성의 향상을 이루었다. 특히 인터페이스 정의, 설계, 문서 작성, 코드 구현, 형상관리가 통합은 소프트웨어 인터페이스 개발과정에서의 불필요한 중복 작업을 최소화하고, 그에 따른 문서와 코드간의 불일치를 근본적으로 제거할 수 있었다. 또한, 소프트웨어 개발 관리 측면에서도 인터페이스의 복잡도를 평가하여, 향후 유사 시스템의 소프트웨어 아키텍처 구성에 활용할 수 있다.

The stealth technology can increase the survivability of aircrafts or warships and enhance the capability of mission completion in hostile territory. The purpose of this paper is to present the low observable structure with curved surfaces made by fiber-reinforced composites and to show the possibility of developing omnidirectional stealth platforms for military applications. In this study, we developed a radar absorbing structures(RAS) based on a circuit analog absorber to reduce the radar cross section(RCS) of an object with curved surfaces. Firstly, the RAS with a periodic square patterned conducting polymer layer was designed and simulated using a commercial 3-D electromagnetic field analysis program. Secondly, the designed semi-cylindrical structure with low RCS was fabricated using fiber-reinforced composites and conducting polymer. To make the periodic pattern layer, acts as resistive sheet, the intrinsic conducting polymer paste containing PEDOT with a polyurethane binder was used. Finally, the radar cross section was measured to evaluate the radar absorbing performances of the fabricated RAS by the compact range facility in POSTECH.

In this paper, we study the electromagnetic interference in adjacent antenna aperture of multi-function radar for Integrated MAST of naval ship, which is operating plural radars, with test result of two different X-band antennas. Two antennas is placed in the test fixture copying the part of Integrated MAST for the experiment. The test figure is modeled to see the electromagnetic interference when antenna beam is steered by using electromagnetic analysis tool. Also, 6 test scenarios is determined to verify experimentally and each test scenario is run in an anechoic chamber. At the test antenna #1 radiates a pulse signal and the signal from the antenna #2 is stored and analyzed in the optic data format through a receiving device. Based on the result, the effect of electromagnetic interference is suggested when multi-function radars in the Integrated MAST are operating in adjacent distance.

This paper is to compare by numerical analysis the flow characteristics and propulsion performance of stern with the shape change of K-duct, a pre-swirl duct developed by Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO). First, the characteristics of the propeller and the resistance and self-propulsion before and after the attachment of the K-duct to the ship were verified and the validity of the calculation method was confirmed by comparing this result with the model test results. After that, resistance and self-propulsion calculations were performed by the same numerical method when the K-duct was changed into five different shapes. The efficiency of the other five cases was compared using the delivery horsepower in the model scale and the flow characteristics of the stern were analyzed as the velocity and pressure distributions in the area between the duct end and the propeller plane. For the computation, STAR-CCM +, a general-purpose flow analysis program, was used and the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations were applied. Rigid Body Motion (RBM) method was used for the propeller rotating motion and SST $k-{\omega}$ turbulence model was applied for the turbulence model. As a result, the tangential velocity of the propeller inflow changed according to the position angle change of the stator, and the pressure of the propeller hub and the cap changes. This regulated the propeller hub vortex. It was confirmed that the vortex of the portion where the fixed blade and the duct meet was reduced by blunt change.
