This paper shows an autopilot design example with simulation results for a medium range surface-to-air missile used to intercept fast maneuver targets. The missile is assumed to use both aerodynamic fins and side thrusters to achieve fast time response. The steady-state maneuver capability of the missile is assumed to be enough at high altitude to engage usual maneuvering targets. Side thruster is used to get an extremely rapid acceleration response at high altitude where the missile´s aerodynamic control effectiveness is weak. The strategy of control design is firstly to employ side thrusters to achieve a rapid response and then to hand-over the control to the aerodynamic fins to maintain the desired acceleration command in the steady state ...

In this paper, we consider a 2-dimensional pursuit-evasion game between a maneuvering target and a coasting missile using qualitative game theory. The optimal evasion algorithm of the target and the optimal guidance algorithm of the missile are determined and the barrier trajectories of this game are obtained through computer simulation. The optimal strategy of the missile and target is to turn toward the final line of sight direction using maximum input and maintain its direction. The capture set of the missile can be obtained by backward integration from the BUP.

North Korea has developed ballistic missiles over the past 30 years. It is believed that they have a variety of ballistic missiles more than 1,000. Because these ballistic missiles threaten South Korea directly, accurate analysis of them is essential. Flight trajectories of the ballistic missiles are generally changed by means of adjusting payload weight, Isp, flight path angle, and cut-off time. The flight path angle is widely used to control the missile range. However it is difficult to predict the missile trajectory exactly in real operational environment because the missile could be launched according to its intention and purpose. This work analyzed the 1,000 km range MRBM's trajectory characteristics from adjusting flight path angle which is depressed as well as lofted method. The analysis of missile trajectory characteristics is based on the simulation of the missile trajectory model developed by KNDU research team.

In this study, numerical simulation of airframes separating from a missile system has been preformed. For the time-accurate trajectory simulation, six D.O.F equations of motion of multiply connected bodies were derived and these equations have been coupled with the unstructured overset mesh technique for the treatment of independent mesh blocks moving with each body component. Applications were made for the simulation of the airframe separation at missile angles of attack of 0 and 5 degrees. It was demonstrated that the present method is efficient and robust for the prediction of unsteady time-accurate flow fields involving multiple bodies in relative motion.

This paper introduces a signal processing technique for discrimination of ballistic missile's warhead. An interceptor missile to destroy the enemy's ballistic missile requires an information on the location of missile's warhead. In order to detect and locate the missile's warhead, a seeker radar in the interceptor missile makes use of chirp waveform to generate high resolution range profiles(HRRPs). We applied one of the well known spectral estimation technique called ESPRIT (Estimation of Signal Parameters by Rotational Invariance Technique) to these HRRPs to estimate scattering centers on the target. Using the information on the one-dimensional(1-D) scattering centers, we can find the location of the warhead by estimating the length of the missile, Simulation results show that the proposed signal processing technique is efficient in discriminating the warhead of an ballistic missile.

It is difficult for a MWR(Missile Warning Radar) to perform a threat decision accurately since there is no tracking part which gives more accurate threat information to the MWR. In this paper, the threat decision algorithm is proposed using an azimuth angular rate to improve the accuracy. The azimuth angular rate is dependent upon the direction of an approaching target. The target is classified into a threat or non-threat using a boundary condition of the azimuth angular rate. The boundary condition is determined using the Monte-Carlo simulation. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated using this condition at field tests of MWR. The efficiency of the proposed method for the threat decision is proved by comparing the results of field tests with the simulation results.

This paper studies the impact of the maintenance time of anti-ship missile Harpoon on operational availability with real field data. The Harpoon maintenance simulation model is developed as a testbed for identifying the optimal inventory levels on operational availability. Using multiple linear regression analysis and integer programming, the optimal inventory levels of essential assemblies are suggested. Finally, the result of sensitivity analysis shows the quantitative impact of maintenance time on operational availability and inventory costs. The authors believe that this quantitative analysis can support policy decisions to decrease maintenance time of missiles.

The survivability of a naval ship is the ability of the ship and its onboard systems to remain functional and continue a designated mission in man-made hostile environments. A passive decoy system is primarily used as a weapon system for improving the survivability of a naval ship. In this study, an engagement scenario-based simulation program was developed for decoy effectiveness assessments against an anti-ship missile (ASM), which tracks a target with sea-skimming and active radar homing. The program can explain the characteristics of a target ship, such as the radar cross section and evasive maneuvers, as well as the operational performance of the onboard decoy system, the guidance method of the ASM, and the engagement environment's wind speed and direction. This paper describes the theory and formulations, configuration, and user interface of the developed program. Numerical examples of a decoy effect assessment of a virtual naval ship against an ASM are presented.

The acceleration and the angular velocity that include natural frequencies of a missile detected by Inertial Measurement Unit(IMU) are transmitted to the control loop of a missile. The control loop command that is calculated using above signals can cause the resonance of the missile while it flies. Hence it is common to adapt the filter and the control loop for attenuating or eliminating the undesired signals such as natural frequencies. This paper introduces the new test technique using a floating system for performance evaluation of the designed filter and the control loop prior to a flight test. The proposed scheme can check out the degradation property of vibration in the filter and the control loop, while the conventional hardware-in-the-loop simulation(HILS) scheme cannot.

In M&S, radar model is a software module to identify position data of simulation objects. In this paper, we propose a radar performance model for simulations of air defenses. The previous radar simulations are complicated and difficult to model and implement since radar systems in real world themselves require a lot of considerations and computation time. Moreover, the previous radar simulations completely depended on radar equations in academic fields; therefore, there are differences between data from radar equations and data from real world in mission level analyses. In order to solve these problems, we firstly define functionality of radar systems for air defense. Then, we design and implement the radar performance model that is a simple model and deals with being independent from the radar equations in engineering levels of M&S. With our radar performance model, we focus on analyses of missions in our missile model and being operated in measured data in real world in order to make sure of reliability of our mission analysis as much as it is possible. In this paper, we have conducted case studies, and we identified the practicality of our radar performance model.
