Reducing underwater radiated noise from a ship is a critical issue for ensuring the survivability of the vessel. As high-speed signal processing and interlocking algorithms become more sophisticated, the heat intensity of shipboard equipment is increasing per unit volume. When designing shipboard equipment, it is necessary to consider the trade-off between heat dissipation and noise reduction. Following an analysis of the trade-offs, it was determined that the arrangement of Fan Ass'y A and B exhibited excellent noise and heat dissipation characteristics. Based on this, PWM control operating zones were derived. It was determined that the placement of Fan Ass'y A and B in the operating zone would increase the PWM duty cycle from 33% to 58% using a signal frequency of 25kHz band with guaranteed reliability. This would increase the noise by approximately 9dB(A) but reduce the internal board reference temperature by up to 15℃.

In this study, we performed thermal safety design of the electric module of a heat-loaded equipment with consideration of its heat dissipation performance. Initially, we calculated the heat dissipation of natural convection to choose a cooling method. Based on this, we found that some modules required forced convection and selected an air-cooling method with an outdoor temperature of 43 degrees Celsius, which is the maximum temperature in Korea. Prior to module production, we performed thermal analysis of each module and proceeded with a design to increase the thermal conductivity of the module as a primary step, and subsequently proceeded with Heat Sink design to maximize the heat dissipation performance. After considering various constraints according to the system requirements and designing the cooling path, we experimentally and analytically secured thermal safety at the operating temperature of the equipment.

함정 외부 탑재 장비의 복잡한 형상에 의해서 발생하는 다중반사는 경로를 예측하기 어렵고 높은 RCS(Radar Cross Section) 의 원인이 된다. 따라서 함정의 외부 탑재 장비의 최적배치 설계가 RAS(Radar Absorbing Structure) 방법으로 고려되어야 한다. 본 논문에 서는 함정 외부 탑재 장비에서 발생하는 다중반사와 RCS를 최소화하기 위하여 함정 외부 탑재 장비 최적배치를 수행하였다. 외부 탑 재 장비 최적배치에 사용된 알고리즘은 순차적 내림차순 방법을 이용하였다. 함정 외부 탑재 장비 최적배치를 수행하기 위하여 LCS-2 type을 해석 모델로 선정하였다. 계산 비용을 줄이기 위해서 장비의 기여도 분석 및 다중반사 경로 분석 등을 통해 최적 배치를 수행 할 장비를 선정하였고 최적배치를 통해 RCS가 최소가 되는 최적배치 위치를 도출하였다. 또한 RCS 변화에 따른 레이다의 탐지거리 변 화율을 이용하여 RCS 감소효과를 분석 하였다.
