Vertically-launched missiles are supported as erected vertically in the vertical launching system of warship, and they should be mounted in the same way when vibration-tested. However, mounting missiles vertically makes a fixture, which is a supporting structure, bulky and heavy so requiring a high-performance exciter. Mounting missiles as laid down horizontally in a vibration test is economical regarding fixture manufacturing and exciter performance, but it makes test results incorrect because the different mounting direction has effects on the test results. A bending moment due to missiles' weight happens to missiles, and resilient mounts, which support missiles in the vertical launch system, deflect differently from the real situation because of the static deflection of these mounts due to missiles' weight. If the resilient mounts supporting missiles have nonlinear force-deflection characteristics, vibration test results become more different from the true results. This paper proposes to support missiles with an additional resilient mount such as a bunge code in order to solve those problems coming from mounting vertically-launched missiles as laid down horizontally in vibration tests. The proposed approach enables to obtain the same test results as in their actual mounting condition even though vertically-launched missiles are mounted in a different direction.

In this paper, we investigate three dimensional optimal evasive maneuver patterns for air-to-surface attack missiles against proportionally navigated anti-air defense missiles. Interception error of the defense missile can be generated by evasive maneuver of the attack missile during the time of flight for which the defense missile intercepts the attack missile. Time varying weighted sum of the inverse of these interception errors forms a performance index to be minimized. Direct parameter optimization technique using CFSQP is adopted to get the attack missile's optimal evasive maneuver patterns according to parameter changes of both the attack missile and the defense missile such as maneuver limit and time constant of autopilot approximated by the 1st order lag system. The overall shape of resultant optimal evasive maneuver to enhance the survivability of air-to-surface missiles against proportionally navigated anti-air missiles is a kind of deformed barrel roll.

Since the technology of anti-ship missiles has advanced rapidly, defending battleships from the threat of anti-ship missiles is a crucial factor for the survival of warships. In this paper, we analyze the performance of an anti-ship missile defense system whose name is Close-In-Weapon-System. We show the survival probability of a warship equipped with the Close-In-Weapon-System as the number of anti-ship missiles attacking the warship varies. Because of the complex and dynamic operational characteristics surrounding the Close-In-Weapon-System such as speed of missiles, different range of an individual weapon in the weapon system, and the continuous change of the kill probability of the missiles corresponding to the distance of missiles from ships, few work has been done for the performance of Close-In-Weapon-System. We present a model to incorporate all the dynamic characteristics of the system using absorbing Markov Chain. With our results, we expect commanders of warships equipped with Close-In-Weapon-System to be provided with more helpful information on how to deal with the anti-ship missiles.

The characteristics of ballistic missiles are changing rapidly but studies have mostly focused on fragmentary flight trajectory analysis estimating the changing characteristics of some types, while there is a lack of research on comprehensive and efficient ballistic search, detection and prediction for missiles including the new types that have been gaining attention lately. This paper analyzes the flight trajectory characteristics of ballistic missiles at various ranges considering flight path angle adjustment, specific impulse and drag force with altitude based on the optimized equations of motion reflecting the parameters of North Korea's general and new types of ballistic missiles. The flight trajectory characteristics of representative ranges for each ballistic missile were analyzed by adjusting the flight path angle in the minimum energy method, lofted method, and depressed method. In addition, High value target can attacked by ballistic missiles considering flight path angle adjustment at various points. It's expected to be used to Threat Evaluation and Weapon Allocation, and deployment of defense systems by interpreting the analysis of the latest Iskander-class ballistic missiles and the new multiple rocket launcher.

This paper describes a new LOS(Line-of-Sight) estimator for BTT missiles. The dynamic models of LOS rate and a seeker are derived. Based on these dynamic models, we design a nonlinear estimator, which takes into account roll motion of BTT missiles and sensor noises. Simulation results show that the LOS rate estimates of the proposed estimator are more accurate than those of the conventional estimator.

A technical review of Soviet/Russian supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles is presented. The supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles is one of the weapons for asymmetric power. The supersonic speed of the missiles is very useful both for attacking a time critical target and for improving target-penetration characteristics of the missile. The survivability of the missiles has also been increased by the improved concept of operation. Supersonic cruise missiles is greatly affected by the evolution of propulsion technology. Early supersonic cruise missiles adopt turbojet engines and rocket motors. The use of the integrated rocket-ramjet engine reduced the size of the supersonic missile, so today's supersonic cruise missiles are suitable to be deployed in various platforms. Nowadays, export versions of the missiles are actively being developed.

Some missiles using canards as control device adopt rollerons to reduce roll motion due to aerodynamically induced rolling moment. This paper presents equations of motion of these missiles including the gyroscopic effect of rolleron rotors. Some linearized analysis results and simulation results are shown to coincide, thus some characteristic motions of missiles and rollerons can be seen.

In this paper, an efficient defense strategy of single naval ship using short range anti-air missiles against the threat of multiple anti-ship missiles is suggested. The defense logic is based on the estimated future trajectory of anti-ship missiles by using current radar information. The logic is designed to maximize the range of interception of anti-ship missiles so that the chance of interception can be increased although the prior tries turn out to be fail. Basically, the decision making for the allocation of a defense missile is achieved by comparing the total kill probability and the estimated intercepting point. Performance of the proposed logic is investigated by nonlinear planar numerical simulations.

This study aims to propose optimal missile interception allocation strategies for constructing a multi-layered missile defense system in situations where a large number of ballistic missiles are launched simultaneously. Specifically, we consider the threat level of ballistic missiles, the importance of defense zones, and the asset value of interception missiles, and develop a damage consumption index based on these factors. Through an algorithm that minimizes the sum of damage consumption indices for intercepting missiles defending upper and lower layers, we allocate them in optimal combinations to achieve maximum effectiveness with minimal cost. Additionally, we propose a decision-making system based on algorithmic integration rather than human decision-making, particularly in complex operational scenarios, to ensure systematic decision-making and maximize efficiency.

This paper considers the allocation and engagement scheduling of air defense missiles by using MIP (mixed integer programming). Specifically, it focuses on developing a realistic MIP model for a real battle situation where multiple enemy missiles are headed toward valuable defended assets and there exist multiple air defense missiles to counteract the threats. In addition to the conventional objective such as the minimization of surviving target value, the maximization of total intercept altitude is introduced as a new objective. The intercept altitude of incoming missiles is important in order to minimize damages from debris of the intercepted missiles and moreover it can be critical if the enemy warhead contains an atomic or chemical bomb. The concept of so called the time window is used to model the engagement situation and a continuous time is assumed for flying times of the both missiles. Lastly, the model is extended to simulate the situation where the guidance radar, which guides a defense missile to its target, has the maximum guidance capacity. The initial mathematical model developed contains several non-linear constraints and a non-linear objective function. Hence, the linearization of those terms is performed before it is solved by a commercially available software. Then to thoroughly examine the MIP model, the model is empirically evaluated with several test problems. Specifically, the models with different objective functions are compared and several battle scenarios are generated to evaluate performance of the models including the extended one. The results indicate that the new model consistently presents better and more realistic results than the compared models.
