In this paper, the problem of regulation in the presence of a known firing disturbance is considered. We show how one can apply a disturbance-utilizing control(DUC) theory to a actual gun servo model. Applied disturbance-utilizing control theory is established by combining LQ regulator and reduced order observer in the discrete time domain. To see the performance of the applied method, computer simulation results are given.

A new gun fire control system has been developed for the Korean next generation frigate class. The engineering requirement was far more tightened than the PKG-A class for the firing range availability and gun control function since 5 inch gun is adopted for the new ship. We mention about the principal technologies required to build a generic gun fire control system and proposed methods for the new gun fire control system. The new system has been designed based on the proposed methods in order to satisfy the requirement and functionality has been proved to be acceptable through the sea trial by Korean navy.

Macroscopic combustion models used in gun interior ballistic codes are discussed and experimental methods to measure propellant burning rate are reviewed. Comparing with gun firing results, the limit of combustion model is shown and modified combustion model is proposed. But combustion model should be selected with respect to total gun system including propellants.

The forces involved in the firing of the electromagnetic rail gun may be analyzed from Amperian, Maxwellian and Einsteinian approaches. This paper discusses these different paradigms with regard to rail gun performance modeling relating to the generation and balance of the forces caused by the currents and their induced magnetic fields. Recent experimental work on model rail guns, where the armature is held static, shows very little recoil upon the rails, thereby indicating a possible violation of Newton's Third Law of Motion. Dynamic testing to show this violation, as suggested by the authors in an earlier paper, has inherent technical difficulties. A purpose-built finite element C/C++ simulator that models that suspended rail gun firing action shows a net force acting upon the entire rail gun system. A new effect in physics, universal in scope, is thus indicated: a current circulating in an asymmetric and rigid circuit causes a net force to act upon the circuit for the duration of the current. This conclusion following from computer simulation based upon Maxwellian electrodynamics as opposed to the more modern relativistic quantum electrodynamics needs to be supported by unambiguous experimental validation.

The artillery fire is characterized by great damage that can be inflicted simultaneously to an area through concentrated firing. The field artillery guns used in R.O.K. Army are generally old. Thus high values of their velocity errors cause wide dispersion of shell landings. Therefore effects of the concentrated firing is lessened. In this paper a general model which considers all error factors involved in firing in general, is established first. Then from this a basic model which includes the errors involved in concentrated firing only, such as the ballistic error, velocity error, target density function, and damage function, is extracted. Among many weapon systems now in use a specific one called gun 'A' is selected and its concentration effects are measured through computer simulation. The results show that as the velocity error of a battery increases, its target coverage capability, i. e. concentration effect, decreases. Therefore the need arises for the field artillery commander to know beforehand characteristics, i.e. velocity errors, of the guns in his unit and also to carefully examine the problem of battery arrangement with the gun characteristics in mind in order to maximize the damage effects of his artillery unit.

Military helicopter is exposed to the enemy gun firing due to the low altitude flight of contour flight, hovering & nap of the Earth flight, therefore it has the high possibility to be exploded by the gun firing. Recently the Anti-ballistic requirement is required to get the high level of safety from gun firing in required operational capability. The first military utility helicopter of SURION has the Anti-ballistic requirement and explosion proof. In order to meet the requirement, OBIGGS is adopted for the first time in KUH. It is proven that Anti-Explosion capability is satisfied to requirement for improving vent system which was insufficiently designed in development period and related to Anti-explosion.

Oxy-coal combustion for $CO_2$ capture in coal power plants entails a mode switching from air-firing to oxyfiring. In this study, procedure of the mode switching was investigated and discussed through experiments in pilot scale facilities: (1) a 0.3 $MW_{th}$ furnace with a vertical single burner and a FGR(Flue Gas Recirculation) system (2) a 1 $MW_{th}$ furnace with horizontal 4 burners and a FGR system. Principle of the mode switching was established and performed with control of FD fan, FGR fan, ID fan and oxygen flow rates. We have found that equivalence ratio in the oxy-firing mode should be increased more than that in the air-firing to achieve stable mode switching. Control of FD, ID and FGR fans should be performed carefully in the mode switching, in the sense of complete combustion and flame attachment. Moisture contents in the ash and the flue gas recycled to the primary oxidizer stream should be removed to prevent condensation, corrosion and duct clogging.

A soft-recoil or FOOB (Fire-Out-Of-Battery) system can reduce the recoil force considerably. Its firing sequency is different from that of a conventional or FIB (Fire-In-Battery) system. In FOOB system, the gun is latched and preloaded in its battery position prior to firing. When unlatched, the gun is accelerated to the forward direction and then the forward momentum of the recoil part is generated. Since this momentum reduces the recoil impulse, the recoil force will decrease significantly. When designing the soft-recoil system it is important to design the forward momentum profile of a recoiling part. In the present study, the method to determine the forward momentum has been studied and its optimum value has been obtained theoretically. The numerical simulation of the soft-recoil system is performed to show that the present soft-recoil system works functionally well.

A mortar system is able to be fired more rapidly and concentratedly than other field gun systems. A mortar system can be easily manufactured because of its simple structure. It has also been supporting for the fire power of infantry because it can be carried conveniently. But a mortar system has demerits that are the limited firing range, poor accuracy and uncomfortable operability. Korean army plan to be operated rapidly and enlarge battle field in the near future. So weapon systems of Korean army must have longer firing range, automatic laying function and precision firing capability. This study suggests efficient developing concept of 120mm self-propelled mortar system through surveying the technical readiness level of current R&D and manufacturing ability.

Current tanks have been developed to increase mobility and firepower, and its maximum range and destructive power are improved. This great change causes remained vibration of a gun barrel after firing. For this reason, people are trying to control vibration of gun barrel effectively. This thesis presents a modeling method and analysis results for gun barrel by using a thermal shroud as an absorber mass. DTS(Dynamically Tuned Shroud) is a vibration damping system using a thermal shroud as an added mass for decreasing remained vibration. The model has an advantage that the gun barrel's vibration can be decreased by dissipating a kinetic energy of thermal shroud without install an additional dynamic absorber to tip of the gun barrel. For analyzing the damping performance of the DTS, We derived an equation of motion of the barrel after setting a mathematical modeling, and found out the frequency analysis and tendency according to stiffness ratio between barrel and shroud.
