Abstract

Air-to-ground missile(AGM), which can be operated by being mounted on the outside of the aircraft, is capable of precision strikes, ensuring high survivability. Helicopter, which is one of the AGM operating platforms, is reported to experience a lightning strike once between 1000 and 20000 flight hours in average. When the lightning strikes the helicopter fuselage, lightning transient signal can be induced to internal and external electronic equipment cables through the skin of the helicopter. If the transient signal exceeding the criteria to electrically initiated device(EID) related to the explosive in the AGM can affect the safety of the helicopter by a warhead explosion, etc. In this paper, we suggest an indirect lightning test method to prove the safety of AGM on helicopter, and present the indirect lightning test results.

공대지유도탄은 항공기 외부에 탑재되어 운용 가능한 무기체계로 정밀 타격이 가능하고 높은 생존성을 보장한다. 공대지유도탄 운용 플랫폼 중 하나인 헬기는 평균적으로 수천~수만 비행시간 중 1회 낙뢰에 피격되는 것으로 보고되었다. 헬기 기체에 낙뢰가 피격되면 기체 스킨을 거쳐 헬기 내/외부 전자장비 케이블에 과도신호가 유기될 수 있다. 공대지유도탄 내 폭발물 관련 EID(Electrically Initiated Device)에 기준 이상의 과도신호가 유기되면 탄두 폭발 등으로 헬기 안전에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 헬기에 대한 공대지유도탄 안전 영향성 입증을 위한 낙뢰 간접영향 시험방안을 제시하고, 이를 바탕으로 수행한 시험 결과를 제시한다.
