North Korea has developed ballistic missiles over the past 30 years. It is believed that they have a variety of ballistic missiles more than 1,000. Because these ballistic missiles threaten South Korea directly, accurate analysis of them is essential. Flight trajectories of the ballistic missiles are generally changed by means of adjusting payload weight, Isp, flight path angle, and cut-off time. The flight path angle is widely used to control the missile range. However it is difficult to predict the missile trajectory exactly in real operational environment because the missile could be launched according to its intention and purpose. This work analyzed the 1,000 km range MRBM's trajectory characteristics from adjusting flight path angle which is depressed as well as lofted method. The analysis of missile trajectory characteristics is based on the simulation of the missile trajectory model developed by KNDU research team.

북한은 단거리 탄도미사일에서부터 대륙간 탄도미사일에 이르기 까지 다양한 탄도미사일을 보유하고 있다. 단거리 탄도미사일의 위협에 직접적으로 노출되어 있는 우리나라는 이러한 위협에 대응하기 위해 다양한 미사일방어체계를 구축 중이며, 레이더는 표적을 탐지하기 위한 핵심 장비이다. 표적으로부터 레이더로 수신되는 전력에 영향을 미치는 요소에는 레이더의 송신전력, 안테나 이득, 운용 주파수, 표적의 RCS(Radar Cross Section), 표적과의 거리등이 있으며, 특히 표적의 RCS와 레이더-표적 간 거리는 레이더 고유의 성능이 아닌 외적 요인에 의해 결정되는 요소이다. 따라서 레이더의 표적 탐지율 향상을 위해서는 표적의 RCS가 크게 관측되는 위치와 표적까지의 거리를 함께 고려하여야한다. 본 논문에서는 SCUD-B 탄도미사일을 기준으로 RCS 패턴을 분석하고, 미사일 비행경로와 레이더 위치에 따른 레이더 수신 전력을 분석함으로써 최적의 레이더 배치 방안을 제안하였다.

The characteristics of ballistic missiles are changing rapidly but studies have mostly focused on fragmentary flight trajectory analysis estimating the changing characteristics of some types, while there is a lack of research on comprehensive and efficient ballistic search, detection and prediction for missiles including the new types that have been gaining attention lately. This paper analyzes the flight trajectory characteristics of ballistic missiles at various ranges considering flight path angle adjustment, specific impulse and drag force with altitude based on the optimized equations of motion reflecting the parameters of North Korea's general and new types of ballistic missiles. The flight trajectory characteristics of representative ranges for each ballistic missile were analyzed by adjusting the flight path angle in the minimum energy method, lofted method, and depressed method. In addition, High value target can attacked by ballistic missiles considering flight path angle adjustment at various points. It's expected to be used to Threat Evaluation and Weapon Allocation, and deployment of defense systems by interpreting the analysis of the latest Iskander-class ballistic missiles and the new multiple rocket launcher.

This paper studies the problem of tracking a re-entry vehicle (RV) in order to predict its impact point on the ground. Re-entry target dynamics combined with super-high speed has a complex non-linearity due to ballistic coefficient variations. However, it is difficult to construct a database for the ballistic coefficient of a unknown vehicle for a wide range of variations, thus the reliability of target tracking performance cannot be guaranteed if accurate ballistic coefficient estimation is not achieved. Various techniques for ballistic coefficient estimation have been previously proposed, but limitations exist for the estimation of non-linear parts accurately without obtaining prior information. In this paper we propose the ballistic coefficient ${\beta}$ model-based interacting multiple model-extended Kalman filter (${\beta}$-IMM-EKF) for precise tracking of an RV. To evaluate the performance, other ballistic coefficient model based filters, which are gamma augmented filter, gamma bootstrapped filter were compared and assessed with the proposed ${\beta}$-IMM-EKF for precise tracking of an RV.

When the micro-Doppler (MD) image of a ballistic missile is derived, the translational motion compensation (TMC) method is usually applied to the inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) image, but yields poor results because of the micro-motion of the ballistic missile. This paper proposes an efficient TMC method to obtain a focused MD image of a ballistic missile engaged in complicated micro-motion. During range alignment, range profiles (RPs) are coarsely aligned by using the 1D entropy cost function of RPs as a mark, then the coarsely-aligned RPs are fine-aligned by using the minimum 2D entropy of the MD image. During phase adjustment, the gradient of the phase error is appropriately weighted and added to the previous phase error to further fine-tune the aligned RPs. In simulations using the point scatterer model and the measured data from the real missile model, the proposed method provided better image focus than the existing method.

For evaluating a large caliber ammunition tests, indoor ballistic test range is required to reduce the noise and fragments occurring during the test. To ensure the reliability of the indoor ballistics test range design, we carried out the analysis of the indoor test range using the AUTODYNE hydrodynamic code before its construction. The 120 mm tank ammunition is adopted as a reference model and we analysed the characteristics of the pressure distribution at fire area, the structure design at impact area, the over-pressure applied to the tunnel, and the sabot stopper design. The results of the analysis were applied to the design of the indoor ballistic test range.

With the development of modern science and technology, weapon systems such as tanks, submarines, combat planes, radar are also dramatically advanced. Among these weapon systems, the ballistic missile, one of the asymmetric forces, could be considered as a very economical means to attack the core facilities of the other country in order to achieve the strategic goals of the country during the war. Because of the current ballistic missile threat from the North Korea, establishing a missile defense (MD) system becomes one of the major national defense issues. This study focused on the optimization of air defense artillery units' deployment for effective ballistic missile defense. To optimize the deployment of the units, firstly this study examined the possibility of defense, according to the presence of orbital coordinates of ballistic missiles in the limited defense range of air defense artillery units. This constraint on the defense range is originated from the characteristics of anti-ballistic missiles (ABMs) such as PATRIOT. Secondly, this study proposed the optimized mathematical model considering the total covering problem of binary integer programming, as an optimal deployment of air defense artillery units for defending every core defense facility with the least number of such units. Finally, numerical experiments were conducted to show how the suggested approach works. Assuming the current state of the Korean peninsula, the study arbitrarily set ballistic missile bases of the North Korea and core defense facilities of the South Korea. Under these conditions, numerical experiments were executed by utilizing MATLAB R2010a of the MathWorks, Inc.
