Stabilization and tracking is two of the most important properties of today’s modern gun turret platforms mounted on the mobile land vehicles. Servo control of such gunturret platforms is a very challenging issue due to the non-linearities of the system, the external disturbances resulting from the motion of the vehicle and varying operation conditions. In this thesis, a cascaded proxy-based controller with additional disturbance observer is developed as a solution to this control problem and to obtain high stabilization and tracking performance. A novel cascaded-proxy based sliding mode control architecture is used as the main controller. A reduced-order disturbance observer is also integrated to the controller to compensate the non-linearities in the system and to improve the disturbance rejection capability. Performance of this disturbance observer is enhanced by reducing noise in the feedback signal with an additional Kalman filter which fuses the measurements obtained from different sensor. The proposed controller is tested with both simulations and experiments conducted on the real gun-turret platform. Sensitivity and performance analysis are performed by using the mathematical model constructed for simulating the behaviours of the actual system and the hardware experimental setup.

Multiobjective Conceptual Design of an Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle Tekinalp, Ozan (2012-09-19) Design optimization of a supersonic unmanned combat air vehicle is addressed. Proper mathematical models are developed, with constraints on optimization variables and performance limits. Multiple cooling multi objective simulated annealing algorithm is used to carry out the optimization. The results demonstrate that design optimization formulation as well as the algorithms employed is effective to help designers to come up with baseline configurations.
Modeling and stabilization control of a main battle tank Karayumak, Türker; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) In this study, a parametric model for a main battle tank electric gun turret drive system stabilization controller has been developed. Main scope was the study of the muzzle deviation due to barrel flexibility. Traverse and elevation dynamics has been modeled to include the drive-line and barrel flexibilities. Order of the models has been kept large enough to cover the frequencies dominant in the interest scope but at the same time low enough to create a parametric model which can be used in real-time fire ...
Sliding Mode based Longitudinal Guidance of UAVs Shah, M. Zamurad; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Samar, Raza (2014-07-11) This paper presents a sliding mode based longitudinal guidance scheme for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). A nonlinear sliding surface is proposed here for altitude control of UAVs. Longitudinal guidance law based on traditional linear sliding surface cannot provide good performance for both large and small errors in altitude, hence a non-linear surface is proposed here. The proposed sliding surface gives good performance in level cruising as well as during climb/decent phase. The Proposed guidance scheme i...
GPS based altitude control of an unmanned air vehicle using digital terrain elevation data Ataç, Selçuk; Platin, Bülent Emre; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006) In this thesis, an unmanned air vehicle (UAV) is used to develop a prototype base test platform for flight testing of new control algorithms and avionics for advanced UAV system development applications. A control system that holds the UAV at a fixed altitude above the ground is designed and flight tested. Only the longitudinal motion of the UAV is considered during the controller design, hence its lateral motions are controlled manually by a remote control unit from the ground. UAV’s altitude with respect ...
Proxy-Based Sliding Mode Stabilization of a Two-Axis Gimbaled Platform Hasturk, Ozgur; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Erkmen, İsmet (2011-10-21) Nowadays, high portion of tactical missiles use gimbaled seekers. For accurate target tracking, the platform where the gimbal is mounted must be stabilized with respect to the motion of the missile body. Line of sight stabilization is critical for fast and precise tracking and alignment. Although conventional PID framework solves many stabilization problems, it is reported that many PID feedback loops are poorly tuned. In this paper, a recently introduced approach, proxy-based sliding mode control to a line...
