In this thesis, a new guidance method for fighter aircrafts and a new guidance method for missiles are developed. Also, guidance and control systems of the aircraft and the missile used are designed to simulate the generic engagement scenarios between the missile and the aircraft. Suggested methods have been tested under excessive simulation studies. The aircraft guidance method developed here is a rule based missile evasion method. The main idea to develop this method stems from the maximization of the miss distance for an engagement scenario between a missile and an aircraft. To do this, an optimal control problem with state and input dependent inequality constraints is solved and the solution method is applied on different problems that represent generic scenarios. Then, the solutions of the optimal control problems are used to extract rules. Finally, a method that uses the interpolation of the extracted rules is given to guide the aircraft. The new guidance method developed for missiles is formulated by modifying the classical proportional navigation guidance method using the position estimates. The position estimation is obtained by utilization of a Kalman based filtering method, called interacting multiple models.

Feature set evaluation for a generic missile detection system
Avan, K. Selçuk; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
Missile Detection System (MDS) is one of the main components of a self-protection system developed against the threat of guided missiles for airborne platforms. The requirements such as time critical operation and high accuracy in classification performance make the ‘Pattern Recognition’ problem of an MDS a hard task. Problem can be defined in two main parts such as ‘Feature Set Evaluation’ (FSE) and ‘Classifier’ designs. The main goal of feature set evaluation is to employ a dimensionality reduction proces...
Antenna patterns for detecting slowly moving targets in two channel gmti processing
Yıldırım, Gökhan; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) is a well-known and widely used signal processing method in airborne and spaceborne radars. In airborne radar and GMTI literature, many radar designs and signal processing techniques have been developed to increase the detection and estimation performance under heavy interference conditions. The motion of the aircraft on which the radar is mounted, high altitudes and ranges, targets with low radar cross sections and slowly moving targets complicates the problem of local...
A novel algorithm for prediction off-line stator leakage inductance and on-line stator resistance of induction motors
Sezgin, Volkan; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
In vector control of induction motors it is essential to know the parameters of the motor. Known approaches to this problem have some drawbacks. This thesis work is planned to develop solutions to the existing problems. The proposed solutions will be implemented and tested.
A Domain Decomposition Finite-Element Method for Modeling Electromagnetic Scattering From Rough Sea Surfaces With Emphasis on Near-Forward Scattering
ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-01-01)
A high-fidelity full-wave simulator is presented to perform numerical experiments for rough sea scattering problem by considering different polarizations, frequencies, grazing angles, wind speeds, and sea surface spectra. The simulator is based on a novel finite-element domain decomposition (FEDD) method for solving the problem of 2-D electromagnetic scattering over 1-D sea surface. This noniterative method partitions the computational domain into a number of overlapping subdomains and solves each domain in...
Detection of airport runways in optical satellite images
Zöngür, Uğur; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
Advances in hardware and pattern recognition techniques, along with the widespread utilization of remote sensing satellites, have urged the development of automatic target detection systems. Automatic detection of airports is particularly essential, due to the strategic importance of these targets. In this thesis, a detection method is proposed for airport runways, which is the most distinguishing element of an airport. This method, which operates on large optical satellite images, is composed of a segmenta...
