Abstract

As the weapons systems of neighboring countries become more sophisticated and diverse, the development of various propulsion system to strengthen defense capabilities should be required. This paper emphasizes the need for the development of an anti-submarine/anti-battleship system that can be used on submarines and ships. The supercavitating propulsion system uses seawater as an oxidizer in underwater environment and uses a solid propellant containing a metal that easily reacts with the sea water. In order to develop supercavitating propulsion system, we studied overseas weapons system and surveyed technological trends of various research institutes. In addition, we summarized domestic research results and introduces necessary technological elements.
