  • The implementation of modern guidance law derived from optimal control theory requires accurate current states of target, for example, position, velocity and acceleration etc. But there is no sensors that measure the target states directly. So they are estimated from measurable data. For atmospheric missile engagement, direct application of the modern guidance laws may result In deterioration of Intercept performance because of poor observability associated with angles only-measurements by passive seeker and homing geometry. In this paper, a trajectory modulation method called "adaptive Intermittent maneuvers" is added to the modern guidance law, so the observability is enhanced and, consequently, improved the intercept performance. The estimation algorithm called "modified gain pseudo-measurement filter" is used for tracking filter. It is assumed that the passive seeker measure the angles between line of sight and Inertial frame. The Monte-Carlo simulation for realistic air-to-air Intercept scenario are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of intermittent maneuvers.ermittent maneuvers.

  • In this paper, phase shifter has been designed and manufactured to apply to passive phase array seeker for Ka-band and its performance was confirmed. It was designed as a key element for conducting electric beam steering by adjusting the phase of the array element. Insertion loss of less than 1.5dB and phase accuracy of less than $10^{\circ}$(RMS) in operation bandwidth of 1GHz were checked. The performance identified by the actual fabrication was further analyzed by applying the beam pattern analysis based on the array synthesis theory. The effect of the final performamnce of the proven phase shifter on the performance and pointing error and angular accuracy of the passive phase array antenna beam pattern was analyzed. Then, the validation of the proposed phase shifter has been made.

  • Tobacco plants grown in pots by sand culture for 70 days after transplanting were used to evaluate the sensing distance and measurement efficiency of ground-based remote sensors. The leaf distribution of tobacco plant and sensing distance from the sensors to the target leaves were controlled by two removal methods of leaves, top-down and bottom-up removal. In the case of top-down removal, the canopy reflectance was measured by the sensor located at a fixed position having an optimum distance from the detector to the uppermost leaf of tobacco every time that the higher leaves were one at a time. The measurement of bottom-up removal, a the other hand, was conducted in the same manner as that of the top-down removal except that the lower leaves were removed one by one. Canopy reflectance measurements were made with hand held spectral sensors including the active sensors such as $GreenSeeker^{TM}$ red and green, $Crop\;Circle\;ACS-210^{TM}$ red and amber, the passive sensors of $Crop\:Circle^{TM}$, and spectroradiometer $SD2000^{TM}$. The reflectance indices by all sensors were generally affected by the upper canopy condition rather than lower canopy condition of tobacco regardless of sensor type, passive or active. The reflectance measurement by $GreenSeeker^{TM}$ was affected sensitively at measurement distance longer than 120 cm, the upper limit of effective sensing distance, beyond which measurement errors are appreciable. In case of the passive sensors that has no upper limit of effective distance and $Crop\;Circle^{TM}(ACS210)$ that has the upper limit of effective sensing distance specified with 213 cm, longer than that of estimated distance, the measurement efficiency affected by the sensing distance showed no difference. This result suggests that it is necessary to use the sensor specified optimum distance. The result revealed that active sensors are more superior than their passive counterparts in establishing between the relative ratio of reflectance index and the dry weight of tobacco treated by top-down removal, and in the evaluation of biomass. $The\;Crop\;Circle\;ACS-210^{TM}$ red was proved to have the highest efficiency of measurement, followed by $Crop\;Circle^{TM}(ACS210)$ amber and $GreenSeeker^{TM}$ red, $Crop\;Circle^{TM}$ passive, $GreenSeeker^{TM}$ green, and spectroradiometer, in descending order.

  • For implementing the proportional navigation guidance law on passive homing missiles equipped with strapdown imaging infrared seekers, the line-of-sight angles and rates with respect to the inertial frame should be estimated by carefully handling the parasitic instability effect due to the seeker's latency. By introducing a new state vector representation along with the Pade approximation for compensating the time-delay of the seeker, this paper proposes a new guidance filter structure, stochastic dynamic models and measurement equations, in three-dimensional homing problem. Then, it derives the line-of-sight angle and rate estimator in general two-dimensional engagement by applying the extended Kalman filter to the proposed structure. The estimation performance and the characteristics of the proposed filter were evaluated via a series of numerical experiments.

  • In this paper, based on the characteristics of proportional navigation, a composite guidance law is proposed for impact angle control of passive homing missiles maintaining the lock-on condition of the seeker. The proposed law is composed of two guidance commands: the first command is to keep the look angle constant after converging to the specific look angle of the seeker, and the second is to impact the target with terminal angle constraint and is implemented after satisfying the specific line of sight(LOS) angle. Because the proposed law considers the seeker's filed-of-view(FOV) and acceleration limits simultaneously and requires neither time-to-go estimation nor relative range information, it can be easily applied to passive homing missiles. The performance and characteristics of the proposed law are investigated through nonlinear simulations with various engagement conditions.

  • A new target adaptive guidance (TAG) algorithm is proposed to engage the aim point formed by adding a bias to the information from an infrared (IR) seeker for improving passive homing guidance effectiveness. The TAG algorithm utilizes an observability enhancing mid-course guidance algorithm to obtain convergent estimates of state variables involved particularly in range channel otherwise unavailable from passive sensors. Simulation results indicate that the TAG algorithm provides improved terminal effectiveness without computational complexities.

  • Food is one of the essential elements of the tourist experiences. The study aims to segment food tourists for benefit sought. This study attempted to segment tourists who had experienced local food at tourist destinations by their benefit sought to meet local food. A self-administered survey was obtained from 498 visitors in the study areas. Results from the factor analysis show that the most explained variances of benefit sought were food taste (17.2%) and refresh (12.9%). Five distinct segments were identified based on the benefits; family seeker (17.6%), passive seeker (15.1%), want-it-all seeker (23.1%), raw material seeker (31.8%), gastronomic seeker (12.4%). In addition, a significant difference in the characteristics of tourists who had tasted local food at tourist destinations was observed in terms of occupation, income, education, expenditure for food, and tour distance. Implications are discussed relative to marketing strategies.

  • We discuss the design of a radiometer using a millimeterwave(Ka-band) seeker. We applied a total power radiometer, thus the radiometer is composed of a IF-drive amp, band-pass filter, detector and an Op-amp additionally. As a radiometer measure a radiated signal of an object which is noise-like, a radiometer is easily affected by the variance of system temperature. To mitigate an adverse effect, we propose a compensation method in a radiometer without brightmess temperature compensation circuits. Through some experiments such like a distinction a target and the background, we have verified that the designed radiometer system has distingushed a car from the ground completely.
