Classification of radar signals in the field of electronic warfare is a problem of discriminating threat types by analyzing enemy threat radar signals such as aircraft, radar, and missile received through electronic warfare equipment. Recent radar systems have adopted a variety of modulation schemes that are different from those used in conventional systems, and are often difficult to analyze using existing algorithms. Also, it is necessary to design a robust algorithm for the signal received in the real environment due to the environmental influence and the measurement error due to the characteristics of the hardware. In this paper, we propose a radar signal classification method which are not affected by radar signal modulation methods and noise generation by using deep learning techniques.

This paper proposes an improved test and evaluation methodology to be conducted for a in-flight threat-countermeasure encounter scenario. Although the conventional test method adopted in the precedent researches allows high precision and safety, such full-scale method is practically not appropriate to apply to small-scale test rounds for evaluating the subparts of the ammunition. To address this problem, this study suggests a readily-applicable, small-scale test and evaluation method of the subpart of the ammunition in firing test. In the threat-countermeasure encounter scenario, the results of several tests demonstrate that the proposed technique does not deteriorate the precision when the engagement point should be adjusted.

지난해에 이어 랜섬웨어로 인한 피해가 계속 증가되고 있으나 군내 사이버작전 수행지침에 별도의 랜섬웨어 유형 분류없이 사이버 작전 상황을 관리하고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 랜섬웨어는 다른 악성코드와 달리 조치내용과 파급력을 고려할 때, 한 순간 모든 국방업무를 마비시킬 수 있는 위협요소로 군은 랜섬웨어를 재평가하고 이에 따른 대비책을 강구해야 한다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 정보보안 위험관리 기반의 국방정보화 관련 자산, 취약점, 위협 등을 분석하고, 랜섬웨어 위협으로부터 국방업무의 연속성을 확보하기 위한 대안을 제시하고자 한다.

Aircraft's operational effectiveness is reduced due to threats from enemy anti-aircraft weapons, which is a weak point. In particular, guided missiles, which pose a threat to aircraft, are rapidly developing due to technological advancements in seekers, and are classified as one of the important technologies in weapon systems. Missile approach warning equipment installed to ensure aircraft survivability detects guided missiles and provides relevant information to respond. Tests were conducted domestically to verify the detection level of missile approach warning equipment, and test results were presented under various test conditions.

Nerve agents are irreversible inhibitors of the cholinesterase enzyme. Exposure causes a progression of toxic signs, including hypersecretions, fasciculations, tremor, convulsions, respiratory distress, epileptiform seizures, brain injuries and death. A combined regimen of prophylaxis and therapy is the most effective medical countermeasure for dealing with the threat of nerve agent poisoning to military personnel. In this paper, the author investigated the updated technologies regarding various pre- and post-treatment drugs for nerve agents detoxification which are under development in several countries including Korea. Some characteristics of active ingredients in the formulations of drugs, their action mechanisms, and effectiveness were analyzed. Additionally, part of experimental data on the transdermal patch studied in ADD using beagle dogs was introduced.

The emergence of dirofilarial infections in Asia including Vietnam is a clinically significant threat to the community. We here report a rare case of subcutaneous Dirofilaria repens infection on the posterior thoracic wall in a young woman presenting a painful, itchy, and palpable nodule. The adult worm was identified by mitochondrial cox1 and nuclear ITS-2 sequence determination. The diagnosis was additionally confirmed by 16S rRNA sequencing of the endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis commonly co-existing with D. repens. This is a rare case of subcutaneous human infection on the posterior thoracic region caused by D. repens.

한국은 북한의 핵무기 위협에 우선적으로 대응하여야 하는 상황에 직면해 있다. 전략적으로 대응방향은 한국 자체 및 미국의 억제전력을 강화함과 동시에 현재 상태에서 그에 대한 현실적인 해결책은 선제타격을 통한 사전 제거라는 점도 인정할 필요가 있다. 현재 북한의 미사일 위협은 상존하고 있으며 미사일에 탑재시킬 정도의 핵무기를 소형화하는데 성공하였을 가능성도 매우 높다. 한국은 적의 미사일 방어에 관심을 가져야 하며 대공방어는 하층방어와 상층방어를 중심으로 한 전반적인 미사일 방어 체제의 구축방향을 토의 연구하는 한편 인구밀집 도시와 국가 전략시설을 방호할 수 있는 체계를 구축해야한다. 지금까지 북한의 핵무기 위협과 관련된 쟁점은 6자 회담과 같은 국제적이고 외교적인 접근에 의해 문제를 해결하려고 주 노력을 경주하였는데 이 방법이 과연 효율적인지, 북한의 핵무기 위협에 대한 정보의 신뢰도는 과연 어느 정도 인지와 이것을 기초로 우리 군의 방어태세의 하나인 킬체인(Kill Chain)이 효과적인 방어수단이 될 수 있는가 등이다. 지금까지 우리가 얻은 교훈은 북한이 스스로 핵무기 개발을 포기하지 않는 한 외교적 노력으로만 북한의 핵무기를 개발을 억제하는 것은 불가능하다는 것을 알았다. 외교적인 노력과 더불어 군사적인 방법으로 다양한 억제 대책도 실제로 시행할 수 있도록 준비해야 한다.

The Republic of Korean Navy (ROKN) started from scratch. However, ROKN demonstrated its Blue Navy capabilities successfully to the entire world by conducting "Operation Early Dawn" at the Aden Bay, Yemen in Jan 2011. On the event of the 70th anniversary of the ROKN, I would like to retrospect past gleaning from voyages and challenges we had in the past. At the very inception of the ROKN, Korean government as well as senior military leaders recognized that it had no time to spare to clean up military those were insinuated deeply by communist agents. It was the top priority of the government. The Mongumpo Operation which was not well known, conducted by ROKN was one of the clean-up drive. The Korean War sometimes called as "a fire from land put-off at the sea". The world famous "Incheon Landing" which reversed war situation from the Nakdong Perimeter also done by Sea Power. ROKN conducted various maritime operations including not only Incheon Landing, but amphibious operation at Hungnam, mine sweeping, sea convoy, Wonsan Withdrawal. On the same day of the Korean War started, 25th June 1950, unless the victory of the ROKNS Baekdusan (PC 701) at the Korean Strait, the waning lamp light of Korea could not be rekindled by the participation of the U.N. The ROKN rescued the 17th regiment of Korean Army from the isolation at the Ongjin Peninsular and transported gold and silver bars stored at the Bank of Korea to the Navy supply deposit in Jinhae safely. ROKN special intelligence unit conducted critical HUMINT which led Incheon Landing success. One of important mission ROKN conducted successfully was not only transporting war fighting materials but also U.S. provided grains to starving Koreans. ROKN participated Vietnam campaign from 1960s and conducted numerous maritime transportation operations supplying materials to Vietnam military forces along the long coastal lines. Experienced Naval Officers and enlisted men who discharged and acquired as merchant marine certificate supported most of the U.S. sea lift operations throughout the Vietnam campaign. ROK-US Combined Forces which had been honed and improved its war fighting capabilities through the Korean War and out of Vietnam jungle playing key deterrent against threat from north Korea. However, those threat level will be completely different when north Korea finish its nuclear weapon ambition. In order to stand firm against north Korean nuclear threat, I would like to expect strong political leadership supporting nuclear submarine for ROKN.

A linear explosively formed penetrator(LEFP) is a modification of the explosively formed penetrator(EFP). An EFP is axisymmetric and has a dish-shaped liner while LEFP has a rectangular-shaped liner with curved cross section. Upon detonating LEFP forms laterally wide projectile like blade, leaving a long penetration hole on the target. On the other hand, a long-rod tungsten heavy alloy(WHA) penetrator is one of the major threats against most of the ground armored vehicles. In this paper, the feasibility of using an LEFP in protecting against a long-rod WHA penetrator by colliding LEFP into the threat was investigated through a set of numerical simulations. In this study, a scale-down WHA penetrator with length to diameter ratio(L/D) of 10.7 and 7.0 mm diameter was used to represent a long-rod WHA penetrator. LS-DYNA and Multi-Material ALE technique were employed for the simulation. For estimation of the protection effect by LEFP, residual penetration depths into RHA by the threat were compared according to various impact locations against the threat.

COVID-19 펜데믹 상황으로 인해 비군사·초국경적으로 발생하는 비전통적 안보위협에 대한 국가적 관심은 더욱 높아지고 있다. COVID-19로부터 발생한 국가적 피해 규모와 강도가 상상을 초월하기 때문이다. 이와 관련하여 육군은 다양한 집단지성 플랫폼을 통해 미래 한반도에서 발생할 수 있는 비전통적 안보위협을 예측하는 노력을 강구하고 있다. 향후 기후변화, 4차 산업혁명 도래에 따른 사회변화 및 기술발전으로 인해 비전통적 안보위협은 다양화될 것이다. 특히, 도시화율, 인터넷 보급률 및 대륙과 해양의 대기가 충돌하는 지리적 위치 등을 고려했을 때 우리나라에 가해질 비전통적 안보위협은 다른 나라의 경우보다 더욱 치명적일 것이다. 따라서 범정부 차원에서 민·관·군·산·학·연의 집단지성 플랫폼을 활용하여 비전통적 안보위협을 예측하는 것이 무엇보다도 중요할 것이다.
