  • Instrumentation and control system in nuclear power plant performs protecting, controling and monitoring safety operation of Nuclear Power Plant. As cyber attack to the control equipment of instrumentation and control system can cause reactor shutdown and radiation release, it is required to design the instrumentation and control system considering cyber security in accordance with regulatory guides and industrial standards. In this paper, we proposed a design method of uni-directional communication structure which is required in the design of defense-in-depth model according to regulatory guides and industrial standards and we implemented a communication board with the proposed method. This communication board was tested in various test environments and test items and we concluded it can provide uni-directional communication structure required to design of defense-in-depth model against cyber attack by analyzing the results. The proposed method and implemented communication board were applied in the design of SMART (system-integrated modular advanced reactor) I&C (instrumentation and control) systems.

  • In order to examine the possibility of horizontal simulations of acoustic waves on the environments of big water depth variations, this study introduces a 3-dimensional model based on the pababolic equation. The model gives approximated solutions by separating the cross- and non cross-terms in the equation. Assuming artificial bathymetry (25 km × 4 km) with a source frequency 75 Hz, the simulations give clear horizontal refractions on the transmission loss distributions. The degree of refractions shows non-linear increase along the propagating range and proportional increase with water depth along the cross range. Another simulations with the real bathymetry (25 km × 8 km) also give clear horizontal refractions. The horizontal distributions present little difference with the depth resolution variations of the same data source because the model gives interpolations over the depth data before simulations. Meanwhile, the horizontal distributions show big difference with those of different data sources.

  • IT convergence technology can boost the advancement of weapon systems and efficient operation for the military reformation in Korea. This study investigated IT firms' concern about the defense acquisition process for IT-convergent systems and the role of IT firms in the process with Focus Group Interview and in-depth interview on executives of IT firms, and classified the concern to three major issues. They are the clarification of IT firms' role in the defense IT-convergent efforts, the establishment of the control tower for defense IT convergence, and reasonable estimation of software development cost in the defense acquisition process.

  • We analyzed the measured acoustic field to explore the characteristics of a horizontal coherence in shallow water. Signal spatial coherence data were obtained in the continental shelf off the east coast of Korea using a horizontal line array. The array was deployed on the bottom of 130 m water depth and a sound source was towed at 26 m depth in the source-receiver ranges of 1-13 ㎞. The source transmitted 200 ㎐ pure tone. Topography and temperature profiles along the source track were measured to investigate the relationship between the horizontal coherence and environment variations. The beam bearing disturbance and array signal gain degradation is examined as parameters of horizontal coherence. The results show that the bearing disturbance is about ± 8° and seems to be affected by temporal variations of temperature caused by internal waves. The array signal gains show degradation more than 5㏈ by the temporal and spatial variations of temperature and by the down-sloped topography.

  • In this paper, the effect of high voltage current pulse against shaped charge jet was analyzed through the visualization of jet behavior using flash X-ray and comparison of depth of penetration(DOP) into RHA(Rolled Homogeneous Armor) witness plates. The behavior of jet particles has been acquired using a flash X-ray equipment when current pulse was applied into the metal jet of a shaped charge(SC) warhead. Typical results such as jet breakup and radial jet dispersion, which are due to electromagnetic pressure by current pulse, have been obtained. Dozens of penetration experiments using a shaped charge with 55 mm diameter were performed according to various combinations of major parametric variables such as electrode spacing, standoff distance from SC warhead to electrode, and charge voltage. Subsequently, interrelations between major parametric variables and DOPs into RHA were analyzed.

  • We report an in-depth analysis of the design and fabrication of multilayer dielectric (MLD) diffraction gratings for spectral beam combining at a wavelength of 1055 nm. The design involves a near-Littrow grating and a modal analysis for high diffraction efficiency. A range of wavelengths, grating periods, and angles of incidence were examined for the near-Littrow grating, for the $0^{th}$ and $-1^{st}$ diffraction orders only. A modal method was then used to investigate the effect of the duty cycle on the effective indices of the grating modes, and the depth of the grating was determined for only the $-1^{st}$-order diffraction. The design parameters of the grating and the matching layer thickness between grating and MLD reflector were refined for high diffraction efficiency, using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. A high reflector was deposited by electron-beam evaporation, and a grating structure was fabricated by photolithography and reactive-ion etching. The diffraction efficiency and laser-induced damage threshold of the fabricated MLD diffraction gratings were measured, and the diffraction efficiency was compared with the design's value.

  • In korean peninsular, aircraft defense with SAM (Surface-to-Air Missile) is very important because of short range of combat space in depth. Effective and successful defense operation largely depends on two factors, SAM's location and the number of SAM for each target based on missile's availability in each SAM's location. However, most previous papers have handled only the former. In this paper, we developed Set covering model which can handle both factors simultaneously and Multi-heuristic algorithm for solving allocation problem of the batteries and missile assignment problem in each battery. Genetic algorithm is used to decide optimal location of the batteries. To determine the number of SAM, a heuristic algorithm is applied for solving missile assignment problem. If the proposed model is applied to allocation of SAM, it will improve the effectiveness of air defense operations.

  • A body armor vest is a form of munition related directly to the safety and life of combatants. Therefore, it must meet the requirements for ballistic resistance. The ROK demands the performance of body armor vest meet the Level IIIA specified by the NIJ STD-0101.06 published by the US National Institute of Justice. This study performed acceptance tests on body armor vests. The factors for evaluating the ballistic resistance evaluated were not only whether it penetrates when shooting but also whether the BFS (Backface Signature) depth does not exceed 44 mm when it does not penetrate. The factors were assessed to determine if they were consistent or not. The BFS depth is affected by various test factors, such as the physical properties of the backing material and the changes in the amount of impact with the bullet velocity. In this study, an analysis of the bulletproof performance was performed by extracting the data with the same conditions using ANOVA to remove the influence of these external factors. The analysis revealed a correlation between the BFS depth, bullet velocity, vest conditions, and protection area. The mass production process was analyzed by estimating the Interval of BFS on each lot. Through this, a new methodology for ballistic resistance evaluation and paradigm for future quality assurance is suggested.
