A cooperative guidance method for a guided munition swarm that contains informed and naïve members is presented in this study. These guided munitions create a swarm with the help of communication between them. The communication of the members is established using RF Datalink, which can transfer a decided set of data between the transmitter and receiver. Since the seeker systems are one of the most expensive parts of a guided munition, using RF Datalink and cooperative guidance methods with formation control for the swarm agents can be a cheaper and more effective way to destroy the desired area. On the other hand, simultaneous attack of multiple smart munitions unavoidably makes it harder to defend an area. 6 degrees of freedom simulation is built to examine the methods and algorithms. The potential function method is applied to achieve formation control and uniform distribution on the horizontal plane. Uniform and safe arm flight is reached due to data transfer between the swarm members. The cooperative guidance method makes the agents follow the same line of sight angle for all naïve agents at the vertical plane. Effects of this guidance method on the heading angle differences, irregularity, and wideness on the horizontal plane through the heading direction are investigated. Results for various numbers of total agents and various numbers of informed agents are compared. The effects of these on the results are reviewed. The method is proposed as effective for targets positioned in line, such as vehicle convoys.

Cooperative Guidance Law for High-Speed and High-Maneuverability Air Targets Cevher, Firat Yilmaz; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2023-2-01) In this paper, a novel cooperative and predictive guidance law is proposed to intercept high-speed and high-maneuverability targets with inferior interceptors. The purpose of guidance is cooperatively covering the most-probable locations where the target may be in the future. To fulfill this purpose, predicted target states in the form of a probability density function were obtained using limited target information, i.e., noisy position data for one case and maneuverability limits for the second case, at fi...
Active Flutter Control of a Smart Fin Fatih Mutlu, Karadal; Volkan, Nalbantoğlu; Şahin, Melin; Güçlü, Seber; Ömer Faruk, Kırcalı; Yaman, Yavuz (null; 2008-10-06) This study presents the theoretical analysis of an active flutter suppression methodology applied on a smart fin. The smart fin consisted of a cantilever aluminum plate-like structure with surface bonded piezoelectric (PZT, Lead- Zirconate-Titanate) patches. The robust controllers were designed via H∞ synthesis by considering both SISO (Single-Input, Single-Output) and MIMO Multi-Input, Multi-Output) aeroelastic system models. The developed controllers performed well around the flutter point and also stabil...
Floating photovoltaic site selection using fuzzy rough numbers based LAAW and RAFSI model Deveci , Muhammet; Pamucar, Dragan; Oğuz, Elif (2022-06-01) This study presents a quantitative methodology for FloatingPhotovoltaic(FPV) power plant site selection in Turkey usingGeographical Information Systems(GIS) and fuzzy sets, which is one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods. In this study, we propose a new hybrid framework which combines fuzzy rough number (FRN) based decision making model including LAAW (Logarithmic Additive Assessment of the Weight coefficients) and RAFSI (Ranking of Alternatives through Functional mapping of criterionsubin...
Collective design reasoning strategies used in a creative group discussion session for effectiveness Börekçi, Naz Ayşe Güzide Z. (2022-7-01) All rights reserved.The Controlled Input Method is a brainstorming technique that adopts both a nominal and an interactive approach, which has been indicated in the literature as making creative group discussion sessions effective. A brainstorming session using the Controlled Input Method was carried out as the initial stage of the design process of a graduate-level design project in an educational setting. The brainstorming session was found effective in terms of productivity. The documentation of the sess...
Open and Interoperable Maritime Surveillance Framework Set to Improve Sea-Borders Control Erbas, Cengiz; Cetin, Fulya Tuncer; Yilmaz, Burcu; Akagündüz, Erdem; Kabak, Yildiray; Bulca, Aykut (2012-01-01) This study presents an open and interoperable maritime surveillance framework with multimodal sensor networks and an automated decision-making. The intention is to improve sea-border control, plugging the gaps in the maritime security with interoperability solutions and have wide-area situational awareness, thus particular reducing the number of illegal immigrants crossing sea borders in small boats, with a cost-effective approach. In this paper initial results are presented. This research is a part of a Eu...
