Resolver, due to its reliability and durability, has been used for the aim of shaft position sensing of military rotary systems such as tank turrets and gun stabilization platforms for decades. Ready-to-use resolver-to-digital converter integrated circuits which convert the resolver signals into position and speed measurements are utilized in servo systems most commonly. However, the ready-to-use integrated circuits increase the dependency of the servo system to hardware components which in turn decrease the efficiency and flexibility of the servo system for changing system structures such as for changing resolver carrier frequency or changing position and speed sensors. The proposed solution to increase the efficiency and flexibility of the servo system is a software-based resolver-to-digital converter which does not require aforesaid special hardware components and presents a complete software-based solution for the conversion. The proposed software-based resolver-to-digital converter makes use of common programmable hardware v components, that is, FPGA and DSP which form the heart of the servo controller technology in recent years. The proposed structure for the conversion has three components. The first component is the signal conditioner which minimizes the disturbances coming from the resolver signals as harmonic distortions and noise. The second component, the phase-sensitive demodulator, as the name implies, is responsible for phase-sensitive demodulation of resolver signals. The third component is the estimator filter. In order to determine the optimal estimator filter, five different estimator filters with the aforesaid two components are implemented in ASELSAN’s stabilized gun system STAMP and they are compared in terms of both estimation performance and computational complexity. The implemented filters include nonlinear observer type filter which is already proposed in the literature for resolver conversion, tracking differentiator adapted to resolver conversion and kalman filters adapted to resolver conversion in different forms such as linear kalman filter, extended kalman filter and unscented kalman filter. At the end of the study, stability and sensitivity analyses are also performed for the proposed system.

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...
Autopilot and guidance for anti-tank imaging infrared guided missiles Özcan, Ali Erdem; Leblecioğlu, Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) An anti-tank guided missile is a weapon system primarily designed to hit and destroy armored tanks and other armored vehicles. Developed first-generation command-guided and second-generation semi-automatic command guided missiles had many disadvantages and lower hit rates. For that reason, third generation imaging infrared fire-and-forget missile concept is very popular nowadays. In this thesis, mainly, a mathematical model for a fire-and-forget anti-tank missile is developed and a flight control autopilot ...
Modelling and controller design of the gun and turret system for an aircraft Mert, Ahmet; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) Gun and gun turret systems are the primary units of the weapon systems of an aircraft. They are required to hit targets accurately during operations. That is why a complete, high precision control of weapon systems is required. This function is provided by accurate modeling of the system and the design of a suitable controller. This study presents the modeling of and controller design for the gun and turret system for an aircraft. For the controller design purpose, first the mathematical model of the system...
Control of Planar Spring-Mass Running Through Virtual Tuning of Radial Leg Damping Secer, Gorkem; Saranlı, Uluç (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-10-01) Existing research on dynamically capable legged robots, particularly those based on spring-mass models, generally considers improving in isolation either the stability and control accuracy on the rough terrain, or the energetic efficiency in steady state. In this paper, we propose a new method to address both, based on the hierarchical embedding of a simple spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) template model with a tunable radial damping coefficient into a realistic leg structure with series-elastic actua...
Application of the universal expression for erosive burning to Nozzleless solid propellant Rocket motors Özer, Ali Can; Özyörük, Yusuf (2017-01-01) Integral Rocket Ramjet (IRR) type propulsion systems have many advantages over conventional solid rocket motors when used in tactical missile systems. Nozzleless boosters are one of the applicable concept choices for the system. The present approach includes performance prediction of nozzleless solid propellant rocket motors (SPRM). Quasi one dimensional internal ballistics model is constructed and solved numerically through inside the motor. To predict the burning rate, universal erosive burning rate relat...
