In order to establish an effective engagement plan of the missile defense system, both spatial and temporal performance analysis of the intercept system should be performed. However, research on existing missile defense systems has been mainly focused on spatial performance. In this study, time performance factors are defined through the composition and operational concept of missile defense system, and the target ballistic missile interception process is presented as integrated timeline through ballistic missile model and radar model. We also proposed an algorithm for deriving time performance. Simulation results confirm that the time performance factors can be used in the engagement planning for multi-engagement through the example of engagement planning.

This paper presents the design and implementation of a Mission Planning System(MPS) for multiple ballistic missiles. MPSs are also a kind of M&S systems in defense domain, and these provide important computations on the ground before flights of flying objects. The proposed MPS in this paper has a new concept which is far from generating a set of waypoints of a flying object and proving the set. In this paper, we firstly discuss the research motivation of our own MPS; then, we introduce the design of our MPS and its functionalities. In order to prove the practicality of our MPS, we have conducted a case study.

Micro-Doppler (MD) shift caused by the micro-motion of a ballistic missile (BM) can be very useful to identify it. In this paper, the MD signatures of three scale-model BMs are investigated using a portable measurement system. The measurement system consists of an X-band 2-by-2 phase comparison mono-pulse radar, and a mechanical device that can impart controlled spinning and coning motions simultaneously to a model to yield the MD signature that replicates the characteristic of each target and the corresponding micro-motion. The coning motion determined the overall period of MD, and the spinning motion increased its amplitude. MD was also dependent on aspect angle. The designed system is portable, and can implement many micro-motions; it will contribute to analysis of MD in various situations.

It is important to operate a limited number of interceptors effectively to counter ballistic missile threats. The existing interceptor operating method determines the number of interceptors according to the level of TBM (Theater Ballistic Missile) engagement effectiveness applied to a defended asset. It can cause either excessive interceptor waste compared to the intercept probability or the intercept probability decrease. Thus, interceptor operating method must be decided considering the number of ballistic missiles, intercept probability and cost. This study proposes a mathematical model to improve the existing interceptor operating method. In addition, the efficiency indicator is proposed for trade-off between intercept probability and cost. As a result of the simulations, the mathematical model-based interceptor operating method can achieve better results than the existing interceptor operating method.

In order to respond to the ballistic missile threat of North Korea, the ROK military is constructing a multi-layered defense that can minimize the vulnerability of single-layered defense. Accordingly, it is necessary to study an operation plan which can maximize the intercept rate of a multi-layered defense system. And to study the operation plan of the Korean missile defense system, it must be considered that the operational environment of the Korean military and the effects of the strategic strike system. Therefore, this study proposes a simulation model that reflects the characteristics of the Korean missile defense system and analyzes four interceptor missile operation plans. The simulation result indicates that a high intercept rate can be achieved in various situations by comprehensively considering the ballistic missile threat estimate, interceptor missile reserve, and the strategic strike system effect.

This paper compares the performance of several tracking filters, namely, alpha-beta filter, Kalman filter and TBM tracking filter for ballistic target tracking problem using multi-function radar. Every of three tracking filters suggested was tested on simulator developed in accordance with TBM trajectory and MFR RSP measurement. The result shows the method using TBM tracking filter gives 75.3 % decreased velocity RMS error than alpha-beta filter. After initialization, the RMS error of range and velocity of the proposed filter is also smaller than the Kalman filter. Finally the proposed filter is suitable for high-speed TBM tracking due to the stable angle tracking accuracy.

현존하는 유도탄은 대륙간탄도탄(ICBM)과 같은 유도탄(Ballistic Missile)에서부터 비행기에 흡사한 순항유도탄(Cruise Missile)에 이르기까지 종류가 다양하다. 유도탄은 사용목적에 따라 전략유도탄과 전술유도탄으로 구분되는데, 전략유도탄은 핵탄두를 갖고 있으며 전쟁억제를 목적으로 하고 전술유도탄은 실전에 사용하기 위해 만들어진 것이다. 이 글에서는 주로 전술유도탄을 중심으로 흔히 오토파일럿(Automatic Pilot)이라 부르는 기술현황과 그 개발추세를 살펴보기로 한다

The North Korean regime, Kim Jungun's foreign policy is changed frequently. And their military policy has no gravity. North Korea has developed nuclear weapons and long range missile. Now they have Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile. These activities redound a great threat in Korean peninsula. There are a no possibilities to give up its nuclear weapons and missile development. For the peace in Korean peninsula, we should make North Korea to abandon its nuclear himself through effective sanctions. Now China should effort to control North Korea. To reduce the threat we should coordinate the strategic interests of China and US. This study is to predict the North Korea military activities to analyze "military policies."

Since the first Aegis Cruiser USS Ticonderoga was constructed, Arleigh Burke class destroyers are being mass constructed as U.S. Naval capital surface ships and consistently improved the performance. In recent years, the newest aegis combat system, Baseline 9, was deployed. Aegis BMD, aegis ships which have BMD capability, is participated BMDS(Ballistic Missile Defense System) as a sea based BMD. And AN/SPY-1D will be replaced by AMDR(Air & Missile Defense Radar), advanced anti-air radar system to defend effectively against increased ballistic missiles threat from DDG-51 Flight III. In this paper, development status and technical characteristics of each type of aegis ships are researched and characteristics of AMDR are surveyed and described.
