A captive trajectory simulation (CTS) system is used to investigate the separation behavior of the store model by moving the model to an arbitrary pose and position based on aerodynamic data. A CTS system operated inside a wind tunnel is designed to match the structure of the wind tunnel facility. As a result, each CTS system has different kinematic structure, and inverse kinematic analysis of the system is necessary. In this study, kinematic/inverse kinematic analysis for the CTS system with functional redundancy is performed. Inverse kinematic analysis with combined numerical and analytical approach is especially proposed. The suggested approach utilizes the redundancy to improve the safety of the system, and has advantages in real time analysis.

Jettison, grid and CTS test are widely used for the store and stage separation studies. This is an introductory paper on the experimental methodology and typical results of grid and CTS test used for the Korean 3-stage sounding rocket development. Thirteen separation trajectories were evaluated in the ONERA S2MA wind tunnel at Mach numbers of 2.0 and 2.8. The test result was applied as the basic database for the design of optimized separation device.

Tests and evaluations following the U.S. MIL-HDBK/STANDARD were successfully conducted to assure the performance of the air-to-surface guidance kit which was developed first in Korea. Various ground tests confirmed the operation capability and reliability of the guidance kit, and flight tests proved very good mid-range gliding performance and accuracy of the gliding bomb which was a general purpose bomb with the guidance kit.
