Abstract

This paper presents the study result on a realization of wireless umbilical device for missile systems. In general, a missile system is connected to a fire control equipment via an umbilical connector to get the electrical power for its internal equipment and communicate with each other. And these connectors inherently have many problems of mis-contact between pin and socket, and mis-separation during missile firing, etc. A wireless umbilical device using LC resonance is devised to solve these problems of the current technology. For hundreds of watts power transmission under the missile system environment of restricted space, we designed and made a prototype of wireless umbilical device. And we tested this wireless umbilical device with an aluminum cylinder having cutout windows which simulate missiles. We realized that the wireless technology can be used as a substitute for the conventional umbilical connectors, and EMI and environment tests should be followed further.
