Although the weapon systems are becoming more diverse and complex, they are progressing in a short development period and a longer test and evaluation period. The more difficult the given environment is, the more efforts and performance of quantitative target values can be made by development agencies to carry out stable projects. However, these target values of the Integrated Logistics Support are not specified in the requirements and being set during the system development phase. In this paper, application of MOEs, MOPs and TPMs for ILS are presented and provided the basis for carrying out systematic Verification & Validation activities. As a result that MOEs of the ILS were chosen as Availability and MOPs as Mission Reliability, Logistics Reliability, Maintainability and Supportability and TPMs as MTBF, MTBCF, MTTR and so on. In particular, it is appropriate tailoring and apply the TPMs considering the cost, schedule, scope of work and characteristics of the project.

본 논문은 현재 국방 체계의 상호운용성 수준을 평가하는 방법으로 사용하는 LISI 모델에 대해 개선되어야 할 내용을 제시한다. 우리 군은 국방 체계에 대해 상호운용성 수준 측정을 위해 LISI를 기반으로 한 자동화 도구를 활용하는 등 상호운용성 확보를 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 그러나 소요제기/개념단계, 설계 단계에서 적용되는 LISI 모델에는 미흡한 점이 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해 본 논문에서는 아키텍처 구축 시 LISI를 적용하는 방법에 대해 제안한다. 상호운용성이 확보 가능한 아키텍처를 구축하기 위해 서는 LISI를 기반으로 아키텍처 대안들을 평가함으로써 향후 개발에 적용될 아키텍처가 상호운용성 요구를 달성하고 있음을 검증해야 한다. 더불어 본 논문은 LISI 모델 기반 상호운용성 평가를 위해 주요하게 고려되는 능력모델에 대한 절차(P), 응용(A), 기반구조(I), 데이터(D) 내용을 참조모델을 통해 최신화하는 방안에 대해 제안한다.

In this paper, we described about methods and results to verify the Tx/Rx beam characteristics of a planar active phased array antenna as using a near-field measurement. The near-field system can effectively measure multiple beams and predict the performance degradation due to the partial failure of individual elements. Also, it can accurately predict the EIRP relating to detection performance of the active phased array radar. We briefly described the near-field measurement method to verify the Tx/Rx beam characteristics, and then verified the effectiveness of measurement method by analyzing the measured results.

This study suggested techniques to reduce burning rate and their effects for the AP thermoplastic composite propellant. Burning rate obtained through ground tests using a small size motor were analyzed to investigate the effects of AP particle size and LiF of 0.5~2.0% on the inhibition reaction for the PEBAX/AP thermoplastic propellant. The results showed that utilization of large size particle of AP and addition of LiF under 2.0% can reduce the burning rate sufficiently and their quantitative effects were suggested in this paper.

Since guided weapon is high-cost and one-shot device which is non-reusable, it requires a lot of resources to prove required accuracy as a part of reliability demonstration. Once a test for proving accuracy rate of guided missile fails, it causes an additional cost and delay of schedule. This study introduces an equation for proper sample size and plan for guided-missile accuracy rate test in order to minimize the risk of test failure. Proper sample size for the test is derived by considering the reliability growth. Furthermore, each task for accuracy rate test is defined according to the development step. Therefore, this study can contribute to reduce sample size for accuracy rate test in order to meet the reliability requirement and assure transparency in the test process.

This paper considers the problem of time difference-of-arrival(TDOA) source localization when the TDOA and angle of arrival(AOA) measurements from an airborne emitter source are subject to ground-platform sensor position. The optimization of sensors' position is a challenging problem and a solution with good localization accuracy has yet to be found. This paper proposes an estimator that can achieve these purposes and provides optimized sensor position for good localization accuracy using the proposed estimator. The developed algorithm and sensor position are then examined under the special case of a single airborne source. The theoretical developments are supported by simulations.

Purpose: In this paper, we propose calculation methods of Maintenance Float (M/F). Results of each method are compared and verified by using commercial tool (OPUS Suite). As modern weapon systems become more expensive, we need to find the most economical and efficient method to achieve the target operational availability (Ao). Methods: Three kinds of methods (Considering the number of CSP, Applying the Poisson distribution, and Applying M&S Tool) are used to find the number of M/F. Three methods (Considering the number of CSP, Applying the Poisson distribution, and Applying M&S Tool) were used to estimate the required number of M/F. The analysis results were verified by SIMLOX. The cost of equipment calculated by each analysis method was compared and the cause of the difference was analyzed. Conclusion: Ao and cost must be considered to find the optimal number of M/F. In general, it costs more to increase availability. But the cost is not necessarily proportional to Ao. Therefore, it is better to compare the calculation method and determine the final MF quantity.

Adaptive optics (AO) systems are becoming more complex to improve their optical performance and enlarge their field of view, so it is a hard and time consuming process to set up and optimize the components of AO systems with actual implementation. However, simulations allow AO scientists and engineers to experiment with different optical layouts and components without needing to obtain and prepare them physically. In this paper, we introduce a new AO simulation named the Korea Adaptive Optics Simulation (KAOS), independently developed by LIG Nex1. We verified the performance of KAOS by comparing with other AO simulation tools. In the comparison simulation, we confirmed the results from KAOS and other AO simulation tools were very similar. Also, we proposed a laser tomography AO system with five Rayleigh laser guide stars (LGSs) optimized by using KAOS to overcome the disadvantages of the AO system with a single sodium LGS for the satellite imaging system. We verified the performance of the proposed AO system using KAOS, and the simulation result showed averaged Strehl ratio of 0.37.

We describe a common optical system that merges a LADAR system, which generates a point cloud, and a more traditional imaging system operating in the LWIR, which generates image data. The optimum diameter of the entrance pupil was determined by analysis of detection ranges of the LADAR sensor, and the result was applied to design a common optical system using LADAR sensors and LWIR sensors; the performance of these sensors was then evaluated. The minimum detectable signal of the $128{\times}128-pixel$ LADAR detector was calculated as 20.5 nW. The detection range of the LADAR optical system was calculated to be 1,000 m, and according to the results, the optimum diameter of the entrance pupil was determined to be 15.7 cm. The modulation transfer function (MTF) in relation to the diffraction limit of the designed common optical system was analyzed and, according to the results, the MTF of the LADAR optical system was 98.8% at the spatial frequency of 5 cycles per millimeter, while that of the LWIR optical system was 92.4% at the spatial frequency of 29 cycles per millimeter. The detection, recognition, and identification distances of the LWIR optical system were determined to be 5.12, 2.82, and 1.96 km, respectively.
