The goal of this study is to determine which is the better bomb; a general purpose bomb or a special bomb, from the point of view of cost-effectiveness of air munitions. What we call the special bomb is a laser guided bomb which adds a guidance control unit on the head of a general purpose bomb. Althrough their characteristics of explosion are the same, their effectivenesses are very defferent due to their probability of hitting the targets. Now, in order to measure their relative a effectiveness, we could select various enemy targets such as runway, radar, and then Ive could also calculate requirments of both bombs and firghter aircraft sorties according to the desired damage level of each target, Following above steps, we can derive the total costs and compare effectiveness. As a results of this study, when the attrition rate of aircraft is under $1.1\%$, the general purpose bomb is better than the laser guided bomb. Above $1.1\%$ attrition rate, we could say that luser guided bomb is the most economical bomb.

Launch Acceptability Region of Air-to-Surface Guided Bomb is defined as the set of release points in order to reach a target successfully. LAR is consisted of fixed target area and moving target area whether the target maneuvers or not. In this paper, the computational algorithm of LAR is studied for fixed and moving target. First, multi-simulations are performed varying platform, target, and atmospheric environment to attain Min/Max DB. Second, the LAR functions are obtained using regression and classification algorithm. For operational suitability, the algorithm for display of LAR is studied to obtain appropriate LAR. In this progress, the results of LAR are suitable to apply air-to-ground guided bomb for moving target.

Launch Acceptability Region(LAR) is a region for an aircraft which carries air-to-ground guided bombs to enter such that it can successfully hit the target. LAR should consider the release condition of an aircraft, impact condition for targets, and environmental condition of atmosphere. In this paper, LAR algorithm was developed using the database of many simulations which were varied by inputs, such as the release, impact, and environmental conditions. The algorithm was tested through the direct simulation results, and found that it was suitable to apply as LAR for air-to-ground guided bomb.

Even nowadays ships on the sea are important strategic base for aircraft and missiles. Thus we have been studying an unmanned attack system against ships recently. We experienced severa problems when this system was simulated on the computer. In this paper, problems and solutions of an Air-To-Sea Guided Bomb for this system are presented.

Launch Acceptability Region(LAR) means an area for successfully hitting the target. And LAR should be calculated in real time on aircraft so that LAR can be seen by pilot. LAR can be changed by the launch condition of the bomb, the impact condition of the target, and the atmospheric condition at the time of flight of the bomb. In this paper, we propose the calculation method of LAR using Artificial Neural Network(ANN). The learning data was generated by changing each condition from existing LAR model, and LAR model was derived through ANN learning. We confirmed the accuracy of the new LAR model by comparing the difference between the result data of existing LAR model and the new LAR model. And we confirmed the possibility of real time calculation of the LAR model on the aircraft by comparing the calculation time.

GPS adapter kit (GAK) is a GPS/INS guided range extension system to improve the accuracy and availability of existing dumb bombs. In this paper, a van test result of GPS/INS navigation module (NM) for guided bomb with GAK has been presented. The NM consists of a commercial MEMS IMU, embedded GPS receiver and navigation computer unit (NCU). The GPS receiver of NM was designed to use multiple antennas for satellite visibility and GPS attitude determination. The real-time navigation software was designed by modularized structure to guarantee the maintainability and extensibility. In order to evaluate the performance of the NM, a van test was preformed by using a high performance INS - Honeywell H-726 MAPS(Modular Azimuth Position System).The van test results show that the GAK NM with GPS attitude measurement gives better navigation performance than a conventional GPS/INS integration and good coasting capabilities under jamming environment.

Since the Gulf War, air power has played a key role. However, the effect of high-tech weapons, such as laser-guided bombs and electronic optical equipment, drops significantly if they do not match the weather conditions. So, aircraft that are assigned to carry laser-guided bombs must replace these munitions during bad weather conditions. But, there are no objective criteria for when weapons should be replaced. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an algorithm to predict the hit rate of laser-guided bombs using cloud image processing. In order to verify the accuracy of the algorithm, we applied the weather conditions that may affect laser-guided bombs to simulated flight equipment and executed simulated weapon release, then collected and analyzed data. Cloud images appropriate to the weather conditions were developed, and applied to the algorithm. We confirmed that the algorithm can accurately predict the hit rate of laser-guided bombs in most weather conditions.
