This study investigates how to apply composite material to the blast loading protection devices, mainly used for military purpose. Traditionally, earth-filled blast walls have been used for protecting important parts of military facilities and personnels. However these types of blast walls show difficulty in fabrication and portability because of their nature of heavy weight. Composite materials are known to have relatively higher specific stiffness and strength than any other metallic and earth-filled materials such as sand and gravels. Totally 4 times of TNT blast experiments were performed on the carbon/epoxy blast walls. After the end of each test, the improvement of blast wall was implemented to the structure. The test results show that the use of composite material in the blast protecting area is the one of very effective and reliable alternatives.

This study deals with an optimal firecar location and allocation models under uncertain enemy attack at the airforce base. It allocates just one firecar on the runaway and the other firecars on the headquarter of firecar company in usual situation. It is possible for several facilities at the airforce base to be attacked simultaneously by missiles enemy air attacker, other things under uncertain enemy attack. We formulate two stochastic LP location-allocation models to deal with uncertainty. One model is to locate all firecars on one site like present situation. We generate a new firecar location with a weighted average method. We call this model "centralized allocation model". The other model is to distribute firecars on several possible sites. We call this model "distributed allcoation model". Finally, we compare two models with computer experimentations on 8 airforce bases.on 8 airforce bases.

In the side of military purpose, the explosion proof concrete, which contributes to protect the military facilities from damages due to the explosion of bomb and to maintain their shapes, is required to develop, Therefore. in this paper, mechanical and explosion-proof properties of concrete are tested under various steel fiber contents and member size. According to the experimental results, compressive, tensile and flexural strength gain higher levels with an increase in fiber contents. It shows that energy bearing capacities are higher with an increase in fiber contents. Especially. it is confirmed that slurry infiltrated fiber concrete(SIFCON) gains high strength and has high energy bearing capacities. SIFCON is expected to be applied in the construction of explosion proof structures.

This paper considers a two-location production and inventory model for a single product which can be produced and demanded at each of two locations. Demands during a finite number of discrete time periods are known and must be satisfied by production, inventory or transshipment. We consider the change of production capacity. The costs to be incurred are restricted to production, inventory and transshipment costs, and all cost functions we assumed to be concave. The objective is to minimize the total cost of production, inventory and transshipment. The model is formulated as a shortest path problem for an acyclic network from which properties associated with optimal solutions are derived. Using these properties. we develop a dynamic programming algorithm that finds optimal solutions for problems.

When the new equipment or weapon system is introduced to the operating unit its repair facilities and spare parts supply channels are not regularly generated. therefore, its required spare parts are initially supplied at the same time when the main equipment is deployed. For these circumstances, we are faced with the following problems : the first one is to decide the budget amounts to acquire the spare parts, the second is to choose the amounts of initial provisioning spare parts, and the third one is how to allocate the given budget for the initial provisioning spare parts. This paper emphasizes on determining the budget amounts, but also suggests the spare parts allocating methods.

This study is to discuss the problems due to the maldevelopment occurred at the reserved areas of natural environments of the Ulleung Island, Gyeongsangbuk-do province, and it also suggests the ways of solving them The types of the maldevelopment practiced on the Ulleung Island consist of the change of land use, the opening of a round road, the destruction of mountains for the construction of harbor, the development of tourist areas, and the construction of military facilities. The decreased habitat of animals and the pollution of drinking water are occurred by the change of land use. The destruction of ecological system is due to the opening of a round road. The damage of natural landscape and the change of ocean eco-system is closely related to the construction of harbor and the destruction of mountains. Finally, the damage of rare plants and the pollution of drinking water are due to the development of tourist areas and the construction of military facilities. In the followings, the ways of solving the problems occurred by the various types of maldevelopment are suggested. First, the planning of pro-environmental development has to be established and practiced to preserve rare plants which are damaged due to the change of land use. Second, the destruction of natural landscape and resources has to be minimized by the implementation of environmental impact assesment when road and harbor are constructed. Third, the stones needed for the development of islands ought to be imported from mainland. Fourth, the established tourist areas are needed to rationally manage and the potential tourist areas has to be transferred to the reserved areas of natural environments. Fifth, military facilities should be constructed though the cooperation of autonomous local government. Finally, government officers' and residents' conscience of protecting and reserving natural environments is needed, and government has to give residents financial supports.

This was preliminary study that was to find out the developing point in military meal service to focus on seafood dishes that recently increased plate waste. This study was conducted to analyze menu patterns in military meal service. The result of this study was using to develop new seafood dishes in military meal service. On the basis of some findings, several developing points how to plan meals include many kinds of seafood dishes and to modify taste and cooking method that was more highly prefered by young military persons were suggested. This preliminary study findings were as follows: 1. Each meal was served cooked rice and 4 kinds of dishes(soup or stew, main dish, side dish and kimchi) 2. The seafood dishes was served as 28.6% in soup or stew, 35.0% in main dish and 36.4% in side dish of total serving of seafood dishes. 3. All of raw materials of seafood were supplied by frozen, several items were supplied dried material. Supplying seafood items were limited. Numbers of using seafood items were using 2.7 times per day. Laver and squid was most frequently used. 4. Seafood dishes were frequently serving in breakfast, especially seasoned & toasted laver was served 28.8% of seafood menu in breakfast because of convenience. 5. The nutrients contents of each dishes were as follows, the soup was $86.5{\pm}3.2kcal$ and $10.9{\pm}8.9g$ of animal protein, stew was $165.3{\pm}70.2kcal$ and $13.3{\pm}7.9g$ of animal protein. Nutrients content of other main dish and side dishes was different from 108.1kcal (in steaming dish) to 412.4kcal (in deep-fat frying dish) according to different cooking method. The highest animal protein dish that contented $18.9{\pm}5.1g$ of protein was pan-frying dish or grilling dish. Lowest one was $8.4{\pm}4.9g$ in braising dish. 6. Major cooking method of seafood was stew and the next was deep fat frying, stirfrying and braising. Pan-frying or grilling was seldomly used in military menu because of limitation of kitchen facilities and cooking utensils. On the basis of these findings, newely developing military seafood menus were focused on combination dish(such as seafood cooked rice or seafood fried rice) and many kinds of sauce that was applied to deep-fat frying dishes.

The U.S. Space Shuttle represents the beginning of a new era in transportation and is the critical element in the industrialization of the near-Earth-space. Most of its flights are dedicated to reducing costs launching commercial satellites. However, it provides a microgravity environment for processing unique and improved materials which is generating great interest in both civilian and military sectors. The space shuttle is also the necessary step in establishing a permanent space station which could host materials analysis laboratories and commercial processing facilities. This paper reviews the different elements of the space shuttle transportation system, a typical mission scenario, and discusses current activities in materials processing in space.
