Although there are ground based localization solutions for Small Arms Fire (SAF) attacks, there are only a few implementations of onboard applications. A simple Acoustic Source Localization (ASL) application employs a microphone array for collecting audio signals, so as to locate sound sources using the measurements from the sound field. The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of Acoustic Gunshot Localization on a helicopter so as to detect and localize SAF attacks, by simulating the effects of both wave propagation and signal processing parameters for different localization algorithms. Three widely known source localization algorithms, Beamforming, Generalized Cross Correlation and Multiple Signal Classification, were deployed, while proposing pre-processing and post-processing methods, considering domain specific issues, such as the effects of helicopter noise, environmental factors, gunshot signal characteristics and real-life mission requirements. Moreover, a simulation environment was developed, which is capable of manipulating both the algorithm related parameters and the outdoor wave propagation related factors. It was observed that by applying the environmental distortions with the sound field simulator of this study, the localization performances were reduced, resulting in more realistic conclusions and comparisons. This way, both the performance of the proposed processing methods and the effects of parameters that affect gunshot localization on helicopters were reported.

Investigation of Acoustic Source Localization algorithm performances for Gunshot Localization on helicopters
Yılmaz, Murat; Günel Kılıç, Banu (2016-06-23)
Self-defense solutions on current aircraft usually handle advanced weapons while most helicopters down or damaged are known to be attacked from ground using rifles or Rocket-Propelled Grenades (RPG). Although there are ground based localization solutions for Small Arms Fire (SAF) attacks, there are only a few implementations of onboard applications. A simple Acoustic Source Localization (ASL) application employs a microphone array for collecting audio signals, so as to locate sound sources using the measure...
Modeling and simulation of shaped charges
Gürel, Eser; Sert, Cüneyt; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009)
Shaped charges are explosive devices with a high penetration capability and are used for both civilian and military purposes. In civilian applications shaped charge devices are used in demolition works, oil drilling and mining. In the military applications, shaped charges are used against different kinds of armors, primarily as anti-tank devices. This thesis work involves the modeling and simulation of shaped charge devices, with the focus being on anti-tank warhead design. Both numerical simulation and ana...
Design, implementation and engineering aspects of 12-pulse TCR based SVC systems for voltage regulation
Parlak, Deniz; Ermiş, Muammer; Mutluer, H. Bilge; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
Thyristor controlled reactor (TCR) based static VAr compensator (SVC) systems has various types with unique characteristics. Considering power system requirements, suitable compensator type should be chosen. In this thesis work, 12-pulse TCR based voltage regulation type SVC system is analyzed, simulated and implemented. Principles of operation, strong and weak points are discussed. The developed system has been implemented in order to solve voltage regulation problem in Dhurma (Saudi Arabia). According to ...
Design and analysis of a high voltage exploding foil initiator for missile systems
Yılmaz, Muhammed Yusuf; Ulaş, Abdullah; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
Increasing insensitivity demands on designing and producing munitions necessitates utilizing primarily insensitive initiation trains specifically in missile systems. Exploding Foil Initiator (EFI) is a high voltage detonator that is used as the initiation elementof rocket motor and warhead initiation trains of modern insensitive missile systems. In this thesis, EFI prototypes are designed and manufactured with the knowledge gained from detailed literature studies. An experimental setup is constructed includ...
