This work describes a derivation process of JIC(Joint Integrating Concept) based JFC(Joint Functional Concept) analysis of an Aegis BMD(Ballistic Missile Defense). JIC is developed through JOC(Joint Operating Concept) and JFC based on capstone strategy and concept. Aegis BMD is a sea-based ballistic missile defense to detect ballistic missile threat, increase engagement battlespace and enable multiple engagement based on Aegis ships. Aegis BMD is a good case of JIC due to performing an Joint operations based on System of Systems under highly complicated NCW environment. This work analyses JFC using QFD(Quality Function Deployment) and UJTL(Universal Joint Task List). From this analysis the JIC of Aegis Korean BMD is derived using a CASE tool.

A numerical analysis for the space frame structure under ballistic and blast loads was performed using LS-DYNA, a commercial code. The space frame structure was developed to be adapted to the ground vehicle in the future and it was designed to build with Al7039 frames and lightweight multi-layered panels for the purpose of weight reduction and shock mitigation. The analyses have done for side impacts by a cylindrical projectile and Comp. C-4 explosive representing major threats to the vehicle. The deformed shape of the panel section and stresses as well as accelerations of the frames calculated from LS-DYNA were compared to the test results to validate the analysis model. The internal energies for panels and frames from LS-DYNA were also compared to each other to discern their role in absorbing the ballistic and blast impact.

As a study on ballistic protection performance of a weapon system that is used in combat simulation, this paper aims to propose an improvement effect of the ballistic protection performance varying with incident angle of a bullet. For this, live-fire ballistic tests were performed to determine either complete penetration(CP) and partial penetration(PP) of three types of general armor plates made of uniformly rolled steel plates against a small caliber threat using 5.45 mm bullets with various speed. The major test parameter was the material of the weapon system and incident angle of the bullet with the target. Further, to quantitatively analyze the ballistic protection performance, three existing measurement methods were used for ballistic limit velocity. The test results showed that the ballistic protection performance with the incident angle of 30 degrees was 4% to 14% varying with the material of the armor plates greater than that of 0 degrees, which was approximately 1.1 times the performance improvement on average when compared to the conventional angle of incidence of the 0 degree. Those test results are expected to contribute to developing a more realistic combat simulation addressing the parameter improving the ballistic protection performance of an armor plate.

In this study, the Ergun's equation has been verified in order to calculate pressure drop of the two phase flow. The equation had been used in the high Reynolds number region for interior ballistic analysis in spite of being verified in the low Reynolds number region. Therefore additional verification seems to be inevitable. Thus, the validity of the equation has been verified using CFD in the high Reynolds number cases of the diameter-particle ratio 10, 13 and 16.

The ballistic range has long been employed in a variety of engineering fields such as high-speed impact engineering, projectile aerodynamics and aeroballistics, since it can create very high-pressure states in a short time. Since the operation of the ballistic range includes many complicated processes, each should be studied in detail for the best operation of the device. One of the main processes which have a major influence in its operation is the compression of the driver gas. Most of the studies available in this field hardly discuss this process in detail and thus lack a proper understanding of its effect. In the present study, a computational analysis has been made to investigate the compression process in the pump tube of a ballistic range. The results obtained are validated with some experimental data. It is seen that the pump tube parameters and the piston mass significantly affect the compression process and the time to build up the required diaphragm rupture pressure.

In this paper, we have verified the performance of ballistic resistance material on wet condition. Considering Korea terrain, soldiers may face many rivers and streams. However, bullet-proof jacket has no waterproofing and there's no water-proof standard in Military. Wearing wet bullet-proof jacket, soldiers can't be protected properly because of the decrement of jacket. Thus, we measure the performance of existing material on wet condition and analyze failure mechanism in order to indicate factors to improve bullet-proof jacket.

This paper presents the ballistic armor performance examination and thickness estimation for the latest naval ship structure materials in the Republic of Korea. Up to date, research regarding methods of ballistic experiments establishing database on the latest hull structure materials as well as a precise method of estimating required thickness of armor against specific projectiles have been rarely researched. In order to build a database and estimate proper thicknesses of structure materials, this study used four structure materials that have been widely applied in naval ships such as AH36 steel, AL5083, AL5086, and Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP). A $7.62{\times}39mm$ mild steel core bullet normally fired by AK-47 gun was considered as a threat due to its representativeness. Tate and Alekseevskii's penetration algorithm was also used to calculate a correction factor (${\alpha}$) and then estimate the armor thickness of naval ship hull structure materials with a given impact velocity. Through live fire experiments, the proposed method performance difference was measured to be 0.6% in AH36, 0.4% in AL5083, 0.0% in AL5086, and 8.0% in FRP compared with the experiment results.

A recent air defense missile system(ADMS) is required to have a capability to intercept super-high speed targets such as tactical ballistic missiles(TBMs) by performing engagement control efficiently. The air defense missile system should be ready to engage the TBMs as soon as the ADMS detects TBMs because falling velocity of TBM is very high and remaining time interval to engage TBM is very short. As a result, the ADMS has to predict the trajectories of TBMs accurately with estimated states of dynamics to generate predicted intercept point(PIP). In addition, it is needed to engage TBMs accurately via transmitting the obtained PIP data to the corresponding intercept missiles. In this paper, an analysis about the relationship between ballistic coefficient and PIP accuracy which is depending on geodetic height of the first detection of TBM is included and an issue about effective engagement control for the TBM is considered.

It is difficult to estimate missile flight trajectory since a ballistic missile velocity is highly fast and has inherent behavior such as corkscrew due to unstable descending. This paper describes a comprehensive analysis of the flight trajectory characteristics of ballistic missiles. Various missile flight ranges based the comprehensive flight trajectory characteristics are derived by an analytical approach. It is shown analytically that threat due to the flight characteristics is significantly increased with reducing maximum missile ranges. This work is basic research of the establishment of operational concept for the lower tier missile defense system implementation.
