Abstract

Naval ships are designed to have a variety of active and passive systems to defend against enemy threats. One of the passive defense systems is to protect crew members and core equipment against the threat by using the outer plate of the equipment. This study was intended to deal with design methods against small arms ammunition and fragments. The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials has measured the ballistic limit velocity of two types of high-tensile plate materials (AH36 and EH36) widely used in ships and offshore structures through tests in cooperation with various related organizations, and the result data is continuousy accumulated. Based on the accumulated test results and data, such as mil test certificates of plate materials, it is intended to estimate the protection limit speed of high-tensile plates and to develop a simple calculating formula that can be used in the early design stage.
