This paper presents research on predicting the possible intercept time for a Nodong missile based on its flight trajectory. North Korea possesses ballistic missiles of various ranges, and nuclear warhead miniaturization tests and ballistic missile launch tests conducted last year and in previous years have made these missiles into a serious security threat for the international community. With North Korea's current miniaturization skills, the range of the nuclear capable Nodong missiles can be adjusted according to their use goals and operating environment by using a variety of adjustment methods such as payload, fuel mass, Isp, loft angle, cut-off, etc., and therefore precise flight trajectory prediction is difficult. In this regards, this research performs model simulations of the flight trajectory of North Korea's domestically developed Nodong missiles and uses these as a basis for predicting the possible intercept times for major ballistic missile defense systems such as PAC-3, THAAD, and SM-3.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching, based on ballistic stretching and the contract-relax technique, on hip joint flexibility and muscle tone in adults with shortened rectus femoris muscles. Methods: The study involved 40 adults with shortened rectus femoris muscles, identified using the modified Thomas test. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: PNF stretching, employing the contract-relax technique, and ballistic stretching. Measurements included muscle tension, hip joint range of motion, and muscle characteristics. The rectus femoris muscle shortening effect was confirmed by the modified Thomas test, while the flexibility effect was assessed through hip joint motion range. The muscle tension effect was determined using Myoton-PRO. Results: Both stretching methods resulted in significant improvements in modified Thomas test angles and frequency, with the PNF stretching group showing notably greater changes. However, neither stretching method significantly affected decrement or stiffness measurements. These findings suggest that PNF stretching may be more effective for certain outcomes compared to ballistic stretching. Conclusion: In summary, both stretching methods positively influenced flexibility and muscle tension, with PNF stretching showing a greater impact. These findings highlight the importance of selecting the appropriate stretching technique for achieving functional improvements in muscles, which could serve as valuable indicators for preventing and treating muscle injuries in both sports and daily activities.

This paper describes the operational concept of the Aegis ship's missile defense. Recently, North Korea conducted a fourth nuclear-weapon test that involved the launch of a long-range missile and the underwater launch of an SLBM. The ground-based BMD (Ballistic Missile Defense) system is very limited for the SLBM of a miniaturized nuclear warhead; therefore, it is necessary to build a reliable sea-based missile-defense system. The ROK Navy has, however, only utilized the Aegis ship that is designed with a search-and-tracking sensor but is without a ballistic-missile interception capability. Given this information, this work focuses on the operational concept of the Aegis BMD by comparing the BMD capabilities of the ROK with those of the U.S.

본 논문에서는 다기능 레이더를 이용한 탄도탄 추적을 위해 알파-베타 필터, 칼만 필터, 탄도탄 추적 필터의 성능을 분석하였다. 제시된 필터들은 탄도탄의 궤적과 다기능 레이더의 신호처리기를 모의하는 시뮬레이터를 기반으로 시뮬레이션 되었다. 그 결과, 제안한 탄도탄 추적 필터의 성능이 알파-베타 필터에 비해 최대 75.3 %의 속도 오차 감소 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 추적 초기화 이후에 제안한 필터가 칼만 필터보다 거리, 속도 오차가 작아 안정적인 성능을 보였다. 마지막으로 각도 추적에서도 전체 시나리오 구간에서 안정적인 동작을 확인하여 초고속 탄도탄 표적의 추적에 적합함을 입증하였다.

In this paper, a practical warhead tracking filter is proposed for developing a FMCW (Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave) seeker with anti-ballistic missile capability. For reliable warhead tracking, the measurement originated from the warhead section of a ballistic target should be separated from other measurements. Futhermore, since the FMCW seeker is based on triangular frequency modulation, the multiple measurements obtained in different chirp periods should be properly associated. As a systematic way to solve the problem, the measurement pairing problem under cluttered environment is reformulated as a data association filtering problem and the PDA (Probabilistic Data Association) scheme is applied. The proposed warhead tracking filter provides better warhead tracking performance compared to the conventional range tracking algorithm and nearest neighbor warhead tracking filter. The effectiveness and reliability of the proposed method are verified using the FMCW seeker simulator.

본 논문은 탄도 미사일의 탄두를 식별하는 신호 처리 기법의 개발에 관하여 소개한다. 요격 미사일이 적 미사일을 파괴하기 위해서 적 미사일 탄두 위치의 정보가 필요하다. 적 미사일을 탐지하고 위치를 찾기 위해 요격미사일의 밀리미터파 탐색기(millimeter-wave seeker)는 chirp 파형을 사용하여 HRRPs(High Resolution Range Profiles)을 발생시킨다. 표적의 산란점(scattering center)을 찾아내기 위해 대표적인 스펙트럼 추정 방법(spectral estimation technique)인 ESPRIT(Estimation of Signal Parameters by Rotational Invariance Technique) 기법을 HRRPs에 적용하였다. 1차원 산란점의 정보를 이용하고 미사일의 길이를 추정함으로써 탄두의 위치를 식별하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 이러한 신호 처리 기법이 탄도 미사일의 탄두 식별에 적용하기에 효율적임을 보여준다.

대공 레이다에서 표적의 분류는 대 탄도탄 모드 수행의 가장 중요한 부분 중 하나이다. 대 탄도탄 모드에서는 항공기와 탄도탄을 분류하여 각 표적에 따른 대응 방법을 결정한다. 표적 분류의 속도와 정확도는 적의 공격에 대한 대응 능력과 직접적인 관련이 있으므로, 효율적이고 정확한 표적 분류 알고리즘이 필수적이다. 일반적으로, 레이다는 표적 분류를 위해 JEM(Jet Engine Modulation) 및 HRR(High Range Resolution), ISAR(Inverse Synthetic Array Radar) 영상 등을 사용하는데, 이러한 기법들은 표적 분류를 위한 별도의(광대역 등) 레이다 파형과 DB(Data Base) 및 분류 알고리즘을 요구한다. 본 논문은 별도의 파형 없이 실제 다기능 레이다에서 적용 가능한 표적 분류 기법을 제안한다. 특징 벡터로 추적 시 얻은 표적의 운동학적인 특징(kinematics features)을 이용하여 레이다 하드웨어 및 시간 관점에서 레이다 자원을 아끼고, 구현이 간단하여 빠르고 상대적으로 정확한 퍼지 논리(fuzzy logic)를 분류 알고리즘으로 사용하여 실제 환경에서의 적용성을 높였다. 항공기의 실측 데이터와 탄도탄의 모의 신호를 사용하여 제안한 분류 알고리즘의 성능과 적합성을 증명하였다.

Pulsed supersonic liquid jets injected into an ambient air are empirically studied by using a high pressure ballistic range system. Ballistic range systems which are configured with high-pressure tube, pump tube, launch tube and liquid storage nozzle. Experimental studies are conducted to use with various impact nozzle geometry. Supersonic liquid jets are generated by an impact of high speed of the projectile. High speed liquid jets are injected with M = 3.2 which pressure is 1.19 GPa. Multiple jets which accompany with shock wave and pressure wave in front of the jet were observed. The shock-wave affects significantly atomization process for each spray droplets. As decreasing orifice diameter, the averaged SMD of spray jets had the decreasing tendency.

This is a written version of an hour-long lecture delivered by the author on June 30, 2011, as Plasmadynamics and Lasers Award Lecture at the AIAA 2011 summer conference in Honolulu, Hawaii. The author proposes that two areas of planetary entry physics be pursued in the future: outer planet aero-capturing and study of aerodynamics of meteoroid entries, both for the purpose of advancing the understanding of the possible extraterrestrial seeding of building blocks of life. For outer planet aero-capturing, the author proposes to develop new shock tube facilities that will produce up to 30 km/s of shock speed without causing photo-ionization of the driven gas by the radiation from the hot driver gas. Regarding meteors, the author proposes to carry out laboratory testing of the Tunguska event and of the seeding of amino acid molecules using a ballistic range which shoots a snowball laden with amino acid molecules toward a water surface.
