In this article, to solve the problems about obsolescence of parts and unable to driving turret when internal components are failure, the DC-DC boost converter in the gun/turret drive system of mobile weapon was improved. The power converting circuit in converter is changed by applying the latest components, and the control circuit is changed from analog to digital. Also, the power converting circuits were modularized in three parallel so that it could be driven even when some components failed. The improved DC-DC boost converter secured stability such as converting to voltage in a linear manner in the entire section from the start of boosting to the end. Also, through the modular configuration, turret driving system can operates when some components failed.

This paper is about the selection of the optimum position of the driving system and the analysis of the load at that position in order to safely drive an object with heavy load on the turret with a linear actuator. Usually, linear actuator is required the greatest force when first lifting or pushing a structure, and it is determined by the initial angle and positions. After all, the optimal position of the linear actuator in a limited turret space is closely related the required load and driving performance of the linear actuator. Therefore, this paper contains the contents of securing the driving stability and performance at optimum position on the turret by considering the two cases of linear actuator position arrangement.

Air Defense System requires fast movement of the turret to detect and attack the flying target of enemy. In order for the air defense system to operate accurately and properly, it is necessary to optimize the design of the motor brake system. The air defense system that is not designed properly has possibility of low performance of the gun turret and environment of operators. The previous air defense system had such flaw in its design and it caused much noise and current in the operation of the turret. In order to resolve this flaw, we changed the position and design of the components of the motor brake system to reduce load and achieved the 62.5% reduced current and 40% reduced noise of the motor brake system compared to the previous design.
