In modern civil and military avionic systems, traffic control constitutes one of the most critical parts that requires high-speed, reliable and robust decisions to be done even under noisy conditions. In conjunction with the rapidly developing computer technology, systems became available to perform very long processes within milliseconds. In this thesis, probabilistic models will be used in order to classify a target and detect if the target is making use of electronic counter-measures (ECM). Thereafter, the performances of different systems under the same conditions will be compared. Bayesian Networks Theory and Dempster-Shafer Evidence Theory are two most well-known and applicable approaches to classification and attribute tracking problems. Therefore, aforementioned two approaches are chosen in order to simulate desired attribute tracking and detection scenarios. Subsequent to presenting results obtained by applying abovementioned theories to the selected scenarios, improvements are made in order to increase system performance. The effects of quality of the information source and improvements are presented within this thesis as well as a general comparison of implemented theories.

Cyber Warfare Integration to Conventional Combat Modeling: A Bayesian Framework Sengul, Zafer; Acartürk, Cengiz (2021-01-01) © 2021 IEEE.Malware propagation is capable of introducing adverse effects in military operations since today's high-tech military weapons and command, control, and communication systems are essentially interconnected ICT systems. Conventional warfare models have been recently upgraded to include cyber warfare elements to reflect the potential influence of cyber-attacks. In the present study, we propose and evaluate a framework for modeling the integrated effect of the spread of malware through computer netw...
Reliability analysis process and reliability improvement of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) Ünlüsoy, Özlem; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2010) 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 desi...
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...
APPLICATION OF A FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER FOR SPEED CONTROL ON A SMALL-SCALE TURBOJET ENGINE Usenmez, Serdar; Ekinci, Sinan; Uzol, Oğuz; Yavrucuk, İlkay (2014-06-20) Having a small-scale turbojet engine operate at a desired speed with minimum steady state error, while maintaining good transient response is crucial in many applications, such as UAVs, and requires precise control of the fuel flow.
Interoperability Profiles for Disaster Management and Maritime Surveillance Gencturk, Mert; Duro, Refiz; Kabak, Yildiray; Bozic, Bojan; Kahveci, Kubilay; Yilmaz, Burcu (2015-11-26) Nowadays, many different Command and Control (C2) Systems and Sensor order to manage disasters effectively and achieve powerful surveillance, it is essential for C2 and Sensor Systems to cooperate and exchange timely available, reliable and intelligible information. Although globally accepted standards are used commonly in C2 and Sensor domains, there is no single specification of using these standards together for cooperation of disparate systems, which creates a crucial interoperability challenge. To addr...
