In naval gun firing, firing accuracy comes from the combination of each component's accuracy in CFCS (Command and Fire Control System) like tracking sensors and gun. Generally, battery alignment is done to correct the error between gun and tracking sensor by using boresight telescope on harbor and sea. But normally, the battery alignment can compensate only the static alignment error and ignore dynamic alignment error which is caused by own ship movement. There was no research on this dynamic alignment error until now. We propose a new way to analyze dynamic arrangement error by using image of boresight telescope. In case of the dynamic alignment error was due to time delay of own ship attitude information, we propose the way to compensate it.

This paper presents a ballistic lead-computation method which utilizes automatic video tracking, tracking assistance and roll uncoupling. The method is able to improve the firing accuracy of army fighting vehicles such as main battle tanks. In the experiment, the efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated by an error analysis in real operating environment. The proposed method has been applied to the fire control system of a military vehicle and proved through the development test of the vehicle.

In order to reduce the level of recoil force, new recoil technology must be employed. The present study discusses a soft-recoil system that can reduce dramatically the recoil force. The firing sequence of the soft recoil system is radically different from that of a conventional system. The gun is latched and preloaded in its out-of-battery position prior to firing. When unlatched, the gun is accelerated and forward momentum is imparted to the recoiling parts. This momentum is opposed by the ballistic force imparted by firing and the recoil force and stoke will be reduced. In the present study, the soft-recoil system with hydraulic dampers is simulated and its characteristics are investigated theoretically. The results of the simulation show that the soft-recoil system could dramatically reduce the recoil force and the recoil stroke compared to the conventional recoil systems. However, the soft-recoil system was not able to perform well when the firing fault modes like prefire, hang-fire, and misfire happen. Hence, we need to employ a control algorithm to prevent the damage of the recoil system due to these fault mode.

Purpose: This study examined the problem of crack formation in the fire control system(FCS) of the K11 objective individual combat weapon(OCIW), using design of experiment analysis. Three hypothesis were considered. The first hypothesis is that bolted joint has an effect on impulse caused by firing the weapon and the second hypothesis is that a short time interval of shooting has an effect on impulse and lastly, the third hypothesis is that a positive correlation has between the bolted joint of the FCS and the impulse. Methods: The relationship between the bolted joint and the impulse cause by firing the weapon were examined experimentally. The first and second hypothesis was tested using correlation analysis and the t-test. Results: Using ANOVA, the first null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. ANONA confirmed the second null hypothesis. Correlation analysis dismissed the last null hypothesis. A positive correlation between the bolted joint and the impulse caused by shooting the weapon was verified. Conclusion: The bolted joint of the K11 FCS and the barrel of the K11 affect the impulse caused by firing the weapon. A positive correlation was established between the bolted joint of the FCS and the impulse on firing the K11 OICW.

The conventional firing process method for the transparent dielectric layer in PDP Technology has disadvantages of low through put, high power consumption and large process area. We propose the rapid thermal scinterring (RTS) method as new process method to overcome these disadvantage characteristics. As the experimental result of this method, the optic transmittance(wavelength : 600nm) rate of transparent dielectric layer was more improved than conventional furnaces under the optimized gas supplying. Further, it was certified this method had the best conditions on the firing process of the PDP transparent dielectric layer.

We demonstrate a simple $CO_2$ laser by controlling firing angle of a TRIAC switch in ac power line. The power supply for our laser system switches the voltage of the AC power line (60Hz) directly. The power supply does not need elements such as a rectifier bridge, energy-storage capacitors, or a current-limiting resistor in the discharge circuit. In order to control the laser output power, the pulse repetition rate is adjusted up to 60Hz and the firing angle of TRIAC gate is varied from $45^{circ}$ to $135^{circ}$. A ZCS(Zero Crossing Switch) circuit and a PIC one-chip microprocessor are used to control the gate signal of the TRIAC precisely. The maximum laser output of 40W is obtained at a total pressure of 18 Torr, a pulse repetition rate of 60Hz, and a TRAIC gate firing angle of $90^{circ}$.

Timed Petri Net(TPN) is one of methods to model and to analyze Discrete Event Dynamic Systems(DEDSs) with real time values. It has two time values, earliest firing time ($\alpha$$_{i}$) and latest firing time ($\beta$$_{I}$) for the each transition. A transition of TPN is fired at arbitrary time of time interval ($\alpha$$_{I}$, $\beta$$_{i}$). Uncertainty of firing time gives difficulty to analyze and estimate a modeled system. In this paper, we proposed the Fuzzy Transition Timed Petri Net(FTTPN) with fuzzy theory to determine the optimal transition time (${\gamma}$$_{i}$). The transition firing time (${\gamma}$$_{i}$) of FTTPN is determined from fuzzy controller which is modeled with information of state transition. Each of the traffic signal controllers are modeled using the proposed method and timed petri net. And its Performance is evaluated by simulation of traffic signal controller. controller.

This paper presents a firing angle controller of a thyristor converter for DC power supply using PID controller with parallel data loop to improve the dynamic response. The proposed parallel data loop for firing angle controller of 3-phase semi-converter, generates pre-measured firing angle according to reference voltage and load current. With the approximated firing angle according to operating conditions, the output voltage can fast keep the reference value with small voltage error. And the PID controller compensates the output voltage error from the firing angle of parallel data loop. In order to reduce the sudden changing of the data from current ripple, a simple digital low pass filter is used to determine the output data. The proposed control scheme is verified by the experimental test of a practical 50[A] grade thyristor converter system.

In this paper, we describe a Control Element Drive Mechanism(CEDM) operation test using a Power Controller. By testing, we can catch the mechanical and electrical characteristics of CEDM and obtain the information about the improvement of CEDM and the design of CEDM power cabinet. The power controller for CEDM introduced in this paper can input firing angles directly into gate drive circuits of thyristors so that this method can be used to derive the maximum and minimum values of firing angles within available limits for a 3-phase half-wave rectifier. Angle inputs help us understand each coil's response characteristics. Since this power controller generates a serial sequence for CEDM insertion and withdrawal operations, we may judge whether CEDM works correctly as expected or not in each phase of a step movement.

A direct digital control technique of a current source using the phase-controlled rectifier is presented. A digital firing technique without sensing the line voltage is proposed. This scheme generates firing pulses directly from error signal between command and output voltage. Thus the phase detection transformers filters and zero-crossing detector are unnecessary. The synchronism is modeled and analized. Also a software synchronization algorithm is presented without a look up table and controls the system in real time with fast dynamic characteristics. Using the single-chip microprocessor 8097BH, the direct digital control is implemented with minimal hardware structure. Using the time-weighted performance index, the optimal discrete IPM control technique is also proposed to control the current of the PCR.
