In this study, we address mission planning for aerial reconnaissance and surveillance platforms. In Aerial Surveillance Problem (ASP), an air platform with surveillance sensors searches a specified number of rectangular areas once by covering inside of rectangles in strips and turns back to base where it starts. This study proposes methods to solve ASP with two conflicting objectives, minimizing distance travelled and maximizing minimum probability of target detection. Computational results show that the proposed methods produce high quality solutions. We propose an interactive procedure to help decision maker choose the most satisfying solution among all the pareto optimal solutions.

Small-size unmanned model helicopter guidance and control
Karasu, Çağlar; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
The deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in military applications increased the research about them and the importance of them. The unmanned helicopters are the most agile and maneuverable vehicles among the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The ability of hovering and low speed cruise makes them even more attractive. Such abilities supply more areas to deploy the usage of the unmanned helicopters like search & rescue, mapping, surveillance. Autonomy is the key property for these vehicles. In order to...
Conceptual design of a stealth unmanned combat aerial vehicle with multidisciplinary design optimization
Çakın, Uğur; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018)
The present study aims to develop a methodology for multi-disciplinary design optimization (MDO) of an unmanned combat aerial vehicle. At the current stage of optimization study, three disciplines are considered, which are aerodynamics, structural weight and radar cross section (RCS) signature. As objective functions, maximum range and minimum RCS signature are employed. To generate pareto-optimal solutions, multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) function of MATLAB® is performed. To get aerodyn...
Multi-objective route selection
Tezcaner, Diclehan; Köksalan, Murat; Department of Industrial Engineering (2009)
In this thesis, we address the route selection problem for Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) under multiple objectives. We consider a general case for this problem where the UAV has to visit several targets and return to the base. For this case, there are multiple combinatorial problems to be considered. First, the paths to be followed between any pairs of targets should be determined. This part can be considered as a multi-objective shortest path problem. Additionally, we need to determine the order of the targe...
Vehicle routing for aerial surveillance with a homogeneous fleet
Tarakçı, Koray; Karasakal, Esra; Karasakal, Orhan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2021-12-10)
In this study, we develop models and solution approaches for planning the surveillance mission of a homogeneous fleet of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Predefined areas are to be observed while satisfying a minimum probability of target detection. Areas are assumed to be rectangular and discrete. UAVs with electro-optical sensors take off from a base and fly through predefined routes. The endurance of UAVs is limited by the maximum flight distance. The proposed models minimize the total travel distance of...
