Reliability is one of the most critical performance measures of guided missile systems. It is directly related to missile mission success. In order to have a high reliability value, reliability analysis should be carried out at all phases of the system design. Carrying out reliability analysis at all the phases of system design helps the designer to make reliability related design decisions in time and update the system design. In this study, reliability analysis process performed during the conceptual design phase of a Medium Range Anti-Tank Missile System Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) was introduced. From the reliability requirement desired for the system, an expected IMU reliability value was derived by using reliability allocation methods. Then, reliability prediction for the IMU was calculated by using Relex Software. After that, allocated and predicted reliability values of the IMU were compared. It was seen that the predicted reliability value of the IMU did not meet the required reliability value. Therefore, reliability improvement analysis was carried out.

Dynamic modeling, guidance, and control of homing missiles
Özkan, Bülent; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
In this study, the dynamic modeling, guidance, and control of a missile with two relatively rotating parts are dealt with. The two parts of the missile are connected to each other by means of a roller bearing. In the first part of the study, the governing differential equations of motion of the mentioned missile are derived. Then, regarding the relative rotation between the bodies, the aerodynamic model of the missile is constructed by means of the Missile Datcom software available in TÜBİTAK-SAGE. After ob...
Design, modeling, guidance and control of a vertical launch surface to air missile
Tekin, Raziye; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Ateşoğlu, Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
The recent interests in the necessity of high maneuverability and vertical launching triggered namely the unconventional control design techniques that are effective at high angle of attack flight regimes. For most of missile configurations, this interest required thrust vector control together with conventional aerodynamic control. In this study, nonlinear modeling and dynamical analysis of a surface to air missile with both aerodynamic and thrust vector control is investigated. Aerodynamic force and momen...
Analysis of 3-d grain burnback of solid propellant rocket motors and verification with rocket motor tests
Püskülcü, Gökay; Ulaş, Abdullah; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2004)
Solid propellant rocket motors are the most widely used propulsion systems for military applications that require high thrust to weight ratio for relatively short time intervals. Very wide range of magnitude and duration of the thrust can be obtained from solid propellant rocket motors by making some small changes at the design of the rocket motor. The most effective of these design criteria is the geometry of the solid propellant grain. So the most important step in designing the solid propellant rocket mo...
Performance prediction of nozzleless solid propellant rocket motors
Özer, Ali Can; Özyörük, Yusuf; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2015)
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 [1]. During the design and development phase of solid propellant rocket motors, simulation and prediction of behavior of a given motor by numerical tools is important in terms of decreasing the development duration and costs. The present approach includes performance prediction of no...
DYNAMIC MODELING AND CONTROL OF AN ELECTROMECHANICAL CONTROL ACTUATION SYSTEM
Yerlikaya, Umit; Balkan, Raif Tuna (2017-10-13)
Electromechanical actuators are widely used in miscellaneous applications in engineering such as aircrafts, missiles, etc. due to their momentary overdrive capability, long-term storability, and low quiescent power/low maintenance characteristics. This work focuses on electromechanical control actuation systems (CAS) that are composed of a brushless direct current motor, ball screw, and lever mechanism. In this type of CAS, nonlinearity and asymmetry occur due to the lever mechanism itself, saturation limit...
