Short range thrusting projectiles are one of the various threats against armored vehicles and helicopters on the battlefield. Developing a countermeasure for this kind of projectiles is very crucial since they are vast in number and easy to operate on the battlefield. A countermeasure may consist of fire point prediction of the projectile and attack the launcher of it, or it may be the impact point prediction of the projectile and apply a hard-kill counter measure on its way to the ally target. For both of the countermeasure concepts, dynamics and parameters of the projectile must be estimated precisely. In this thesis, dynamic models for thrusting and ballistic flight modes of thrusting projectile are obtained. Three different tracking filters are suggested for precise tracking of the projectiles and their estimation performances are compared. These filters are the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), the Particle Filter (PF) and the Marginalized Particle Filter (MPF).

Design, control, and guidance of a tactical missile with lateral thrusters
İpek, Fahrettin Kağan; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
Maneuverability is a key concept for tactical missiles. In this thesis different aerodynamic configurations of a tactical missile is investigated. Effect of fixed wing position on stability and agility is discussed at different phases of the flight. A secondary actuator, lateral thruster system, is introduced. This system employs reaction forces obtained by ejecting high velocity gases at desired times. Unlike aerodynamic fins or thrust vector controlling of the main engine, thruster system control effect i...
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...

Missile guidance with impact angle constraint
Çilek, Barkan; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014)
Missile flight control systems are the brains of missiles. One key element of a missile FCS is the guidance module. It basically generates the necessary command inputs to the autopilot.Guidance algorithm selection depends on the purpose of the corresponding missile type. In this thesis, missile guidance design problem with impact angle constraint is studied which is the main concern of anti-tank and anti-ship missiles. Different algorithms existing in the literature have been investigated using various anal...
Tracking short-range ballistic targets
Acar, Recep Serdar; Demirekler, Mübeccel; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
The trajectories of ballistic targets are determined significantly by the characteristics that are specific to them. In this thesis, these characteristics are presented and a set of algorithms in order to track short-range ballistic targets are given. Firstly, motion and measurement models for the ballistic targets are formed and then four different filtering techniques are built on these models which are the extended Kalman filter, the unscented Kalman filter, the particle filter and the marginalized parti...
