Harmful factors such as shock waves and fragments are generated at domestic ammunition testing sites and military shell shooting training sites due to frequent shooting and explosion tests. As a result, complaints from local residents are rapidly increasing, and there is a high risk of damage to facilities and human life. The recently constructed ammunition test site built a test facility for firing artillery and rocket propulsion in a narrow area with a radius of 300 m due to site restrictions, but damage to the facility is accumulating because there is no adequate protective structure. Therefore, in this study, quantitative data on harmful factors such as noise, vibration, shock wave, and thermal effect generated between artillery firing and rocket propulsion tests were measured, and explosion pressure characteristics were analyzed to design a protective structure, and use Autodyn to protect performance. to perform verification.

초기의 화포는 운동에너지만으로 목표물을 파괴하는 탄자를 발사하였으나, 곧 사람들은 에너지를 발산하는 화약을 그 탄자 내에 충전시키고 목표물에 충격시 폭발하도록 해서, 그 목표물을 효과적으로 파괴하는 포탄을 발명하였다. 이러한 개념은 큰 변화 없이 현재까지 지속되어서 현대 전장에서 운용하는 화포, 로켓, 미사일용 탄두와 탄약에 적용되고 있다. 또한 사람이나 경장비, 전차 등을 살상하고 파괴하기 위해 소화기탄이나 전차포용 날개안정 철갑탄처럼 운동에너지만으로 목표물을 파괴하는 탄자가 계속 사용되고 있기도 한다.

21세기 첨단과학기술의 발전과 불특정 위협 그리고 세계적 무기체계 발전추세를 감안한 화포의 사거리 증가는 한계에 도달하고 화력운용개념 또한 정밀타격을 요구하고 있는 상황하에서, K9 신형 155밀리 자주포를 통하여 종심지역의 적 전차 및 인원표적을 공격하는 능력을 갖추며, 지능형 탄약을 개발할 수 있는 기반을 조성하고, 국내 독자적인 장거리 탄약개발기술을 확보했다는 측면에서 개발의의 및 성과가 매우 크다 하겠다. 따라서 한국의 지정학적인 전략적 요충지로서 항상 주변 강대국 위협에 대비하는 전투력을 구비하도록 방위산업체 주도의 무기개발이 일반화되어야 할 것이다.

Korea army is operating K-10 FAASV (Field Artillery Ammunition Support Vehicle) for K-9 SP (Self-Propelled artillery) and examining employment of FAASV for K-55 SP. At present, the FAASV for K-55 SP has been developed as a prototype. To decide the employment of this FAASV for K-55 SP, previous research for operational effectiveness of this equipment is needed. Therefore in this paper, we presented the result of the operational effectiveness of the FAASV for K-55 SP using a wargame model, FEAM (Fire Execution Analytic Model) which is used to analyze formation, weapon system and operation in army artillery field. Based on the result of the FEAM simulation, we introduced the operational effectiveness of FAASV for K-55 SP, which is able to be applied to decide whether employ FAASV for K-55 SP or not.

Chemicals, such as ammunition, are disposable items that cannot be reused because of their operational characteristics. The reliability of the test process and test results are important factors in evaluating the performance of guns and ammunition. The pressure after firing is a crucial value in an acceptance test of guns and ammunition performance; hence, accurate measurements are required. The pressure in the artillery is measured using the copper crusher gauge. The compression amount of copper is converted into a pressure by either a length-pressure conversion table or conversion formula. Therefore, the exact measurement of the squeeze of the copper crusher is related directly to the correct estimate of the pressure. Currently, the pressure is measured manually by the operator, which always includes some human error. In this study, the cause of the measurement error was analyzed, and the automatic measuring system for copper crusher deformation was developed to minimize the error elements. A copper crusher could be measured using the probe sensor and CCD camera, and the Jig for stable positioning was also designed. A designated SW was also developed for the system operating and measurement-analysis. This measuring system through this study may be used for an ammunition stockpile reliability test and gun/ammunition acceptance test.

M125 booster is one of the reliable S&A device(safety and arming device) to determine the arming distance of fuze for gun ammunitions from 90 mm to 8 inch in diameter. And it is also well known that the arming distance of M125 booster is determined by the multiplication value of the gun tube property(traveled distance per turn of projectile) and the S&A device property(number of turns to arm), not by the projectile muzzle velocity. We have tried and succeeded in executing a proper analysis on M125 booster to figure out its characteristic constant of arming distance by considering only the gun tube properties and the S&A device properties. More detailed arming distance will be analyzed in the future by considering dynamic characteristics on all elements in the S&A device with vector analysis.
