In this paper, we have proposed a methodology which can test and evaluate on system level in development phase of command guided missile system. Test and evaluation play a significant role in the development of weapon system, providing the means for determining to what extent the weapon system satisfies its requirements, whether it functions normally in the operational environment. In case of command guided missile having seeker, the missile communications link provides data to allow the missile to fly an efficient trajectory toward target. Therefore, it is very important to test and evaluate for data link between missile and radar on whole system aspect. we introduce the concept and devices for system level test and evaluation of command guided missile system.

A Captive Flight Test(CFT) is used to verify the performance of missile component such as seeker and guiding algorithm of missile. Recently most of surface to air missile adapts multi-mode guidance method which include command guidance and active/passive guidance. A CFT system for missile system adapting multi-mode guidance method consists of pod equipment, command transmitting system and measuring system. In this paper, we proposed CFT system and testing method for missile which adapt multi-mode guidance, and system integration procedure by using distributed missile system integration method and procedure. The proposed CFT system and system integration method was applied to CFT of surface to air missile, and brought successful result.

The development of a guided weapon system, such as a tactical missile, requires a performance analysis of a nonlinear system. Generally, the Monte Carlo analysis method is used for this purpose. The limitation of this method, a large number of simulations, for a nonlinear system performance analysis strongly motivated the development of a more efficient analytic technique. In this paper, the statisfical linearization methods is used for the performance analysis to the guided weapon system with the help of covariance analysis technique. Because the statistical linearization methods cannot be used to the look-up table nonlinear form such as aerodynamic coefficients, the second order polynomial representations is obtained from the table using the Lagrange interpolating polynomial and linearized statistically. Simple simulations about initial state conditions and random component in guidance command shows the results of this technique.

The command control system, like the human brain and nervous system, is a linker that connects the Precision Guided Missile(PGR) in information surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and is the center of combat power. In establishing the future command and control system, the ROK military should consider not only technical but also institutional issues. The US Department of Defense establishes security policies, refines them, and organizes them into architectural documents prior to the development of the command and control system. This study examines the security architecture applied to the US military command control system and analyzes the current ROK military-related policies (regulations) to identify security requirements for the future control system. By grouping the identified security requirements, this study identifies and presents field-specific enhancements to existing security regulations.

As weapons systems are fused with advanced technologies, many of the expenses for research and development are favorites, and that group demands high reliability of weapons systems before the lifecycle. However, empirical studies on the reliability of defense weapons systems are restricted to lack of attention and limitation of data. In this research, we proposed the process of collecting field operation specifications based on the experience gathered by visiting directly to the weapons system operator's trap, strategy and maintenance support force (COMROKFLT, Naval Logistics Command, Naval Shipyard, production company). We used this to derive the operation MTBF of the solubility inducing bullet shooting system and compared it with the target value at the time of development.

In this paper, we have proposed a design method for standardization of weapon information exchange between a weapon control computer of guided missile system and a high echelon command and control system. Because the weapon control computer based on diverse combat platforms is operated with several kinds of a high echelon system, it is necessary to provide a standardized design method for weapon information exchange between mutual system. In fact, it is possible to standardize a interface design specification of weapon information message because weapon information message is closely related to standard tactical data link message. It is essential that the interface design specification of weapon information is submitted to that of tactical data link information. It seems that this interface design specification is very useful in development process of the future weapon system.

The Divert and Attitude Control System(DACS) used in high-altitude engagements is expensive and complex. In this paper, we design a high-altitude terminal guidance and control loop of guided-missile equipped with a Thrust Vector Control(TVC) that is less expensive and simpler than DACS. The proposed system utilizes a quaternion feedback control technique to track the thrust attitude command converted from the acceleration command of true proportional navigation guidance. The performance analysis of the proposed terminal guidance and control loop is conducted through engagement simulations against ballistic targets at a high altitude.

In the study, to minimize the error on guided control of the KV (Kill Vehicle) and to secure the hit-to-kill performance, a position accuracy inspection for the DACS (Divert and Attitude Control System) actuation system was proposed. The accuracy performance of the DACS actuation system is one of the most important factors in the interception of ballistic missiles. In order to validate actuation control accuracy of DACS system, an inspection item was set for position accuracy, and the inspection system was designed for DACS pintle. To measure the absolute position value of the DACS pintle, an external measurement system was developed using laser displacement sensors. The inspection system was designed so that it can be compared with the actuation command in real time. The proposed position accuracy inspection system can be inspected not only in a DACS system but also in missile system level. The position accuracy inspection was performed using the designed inspection system, and analysis of the inspection result.

Through the 2014 Donbas conflict and the 2022 Ukraine-Russia war, we are experiencing that the command of the air is no longer only secured by the Air Force. Long-range surveillance reconnaissance and strikes carried out by the Air Force could be replaced by drones and missiles, and the enemy's aerial attacks could be controlled by air defense systems such as Panchir and portable anti-aircraft missiles, allowing ground forces to carry out maneuvers freely. In other words, it is much more advantageous for the air force and the navy to take control of the air through long-distance operations, and the ground forces should support them. Therefore, this study aims to consider the cost-effectiveness aspect of the delivery command of the air; it provides implications for quickly responding to enemy air attacks by developing the air defense weapon system, drones, missiles, precision-guided munitions, etc rather than focusing on expensive fighter jets.

North Korea's continuous threats and provocative behaviors have aggravated tension on the Korean peninsula particularly with the recent nuclear weapons test. South Korea's best way to cope with this situation is to maintain the balance among three policy directions: dialogue, sanctions, and deterrence. Among the three, I argue that deterrence should be prioritized. There are different sources of deterrence such as military power, economic power, and diplomatic clouts. States can build deterrence capability independently. Alternatively, they may do so through relations with other states including alliances, bilateral relations, or multilateral relations in the international community. What South Korea needs most urgently is to maintain deterrence against North Korea's local provocations through the enhancement of independent military capability particularly by addressing the asymmetric vulnerability between militaries of the South and the North. Most of all, the South Korean government should recognize the seriousness of the negative consequences that North Korea's 'Nuclear shadow strategy' would bring about for the inter-Korea relations and security situations in Northeast Asia. Based on this understanding, it should develop an 'assertive deterrence strategy' that emphasizes 'multi-purpose, multi-stage, and tailored deterrence whose main idea lies in punitive retaliation.' This deterrence strategy requires a flexible targeting policy and a variety of retaliatory measures capable of taking out all targets in North Korea. At the same time, the force structures of the army, the air force, and the navy should be improved in a way that maximizes their deterrence capability. For example, the army should work on expanding the guided missile command and the special forces command and reforming the reserve forces. The navy and the air force should increase striking capabilities including air-to-ground, ship-to-ground, and submarine-to-ground strikes to a great extent. The marine corps can enhance its deterrence capability by changing the force structure from the stationary defense-oriented one that would have to suffer some degree of troop attrition at the early stage of hostilities to the one that focuses on 'counteroffensive landing operations.' The government should continue efforts for defense reform in order to obtain these capabilities while building the 'Korean-style triad system' that consists of advanced air, ground, and surface/ subsurface weapon systems. Besides these measures, South Korea should start to acquire a minimum level of nuclear potential within the legal boundary that the international law defines. For this, South Korea should withdraw from the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty. Moreover, it should obtain the right to process and enrich uranium through changing the U.S.-South Korea nuclear cooperation treaty. Whether or not we should be armed with nuclear weapons should not be understood in terms of "all or nothing." We should consider an 'in-between' option as the Japanese case proves. With regard to the wartime OPCON transition, we need to re-consider the timing of the transition as an effort to demonstrate the costliness of North Korea's provocative behaviors. If impossible, South Korea should take measures to make the Strategic Alliance 2015 serve as a persisting deterrence system against North Korea. As the last point, all the following governments of South Korea should keep in mind that continuing reconciliatory efforts should always be pursued along with other security policies toward North Korea.
