In this thesis, we address dynamic missile allocation problem for a naval task group (TG). We consider rescheduling of surface to air missiles (SAMs) in response to disturbances during the engagement process where a set of SAMs have already been scheduled to a set of attacking anti-ship missiles (ASMs). To produce an updated schedule, we propose mathematical models that consider efficiency of air defense and stability of the schedule. In the first part of thesis, we present a new biobjective mathematical model that maximizes the probability of no-leaker and minimizes total deviation from the existing schedule. We analyze the computational complexity of the problem and develop exact and heuristic solution procedures. In the second part of thesis, we develop a semi-autonomous decision making framework to update the engagement allocation plan due to rapid decision making requirement of a dynamic air defense scenario. The approach is a based on an artificial neural network (ANN) method that includes an adaptive learning algorithm to structure prior articulated preferences of decision maker (DM). Assuming that the DM's preferences are consistent with a quasi-concave utility function, ANN chooses one of the non-dominated solutions in each rescheduling time point and updates the existing schedule. In the third part of thesis, we consider a different stability criterion that minimizes total number of tracking changeover for SAM systems. We formulate the biobjective model and generate solutions by new exact and heuristic methods.

In this thesis, attitude control of small satellites with dissimilar actuator is studied and the effects of control allocation methods on maneuvering are examined in detail. Magnetorquers and reaction wheels are considered as the actuators of a modeled remote sensing -nadir pointing- small satellite. Matlab® Simulink simulation models are developed to model the satellite dynamics and the actuators on the satellite. The simulations are based on conceptual RASAT satellite, and, for verification, orbit data is...
Single shot hit probability computation for air defense based on error analysis
Yüksel, İnci; Özdemirel, Nur Evin; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007)
In this thesis, an error analysis based method is proposed to calculate single shot hit probability (PSSH) values of a fire control system. The proposed method considers that a weapon and a threat are located in three dimensional space. They may or may not have relative motion in three dimensions with respect to each other. The method accounts for the changes in environmental conditions. It is applicable in modeling and simulation as well as in top down design of a fire control system to reduce the design c...
Trajectory optimization of a tactical missile by using genetic algorithm
Özdil, Baran Dilan; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018)
In this thesis, estimation of an optimal trajectory for a tactical missile is studied. Missile guidance algorithm is developed to achieve a desired mission goal according to some performance criteria and the imposed constraints. Guidance algorithms may include trajectory optimization to shape the whole trajectory in an optimal way, so that the desired performance needs such as maximum impact velocity, minimum time-of-flight or specific crossing angles can be satisfied. By performing missile path planning, a...
Adaptive roll control of guided munitions
Öveç, Naz Tuğçe; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2016)
This thesis presents an adaptive roll control scheme for guided munitions. Guided munitions are air-to-air or air-to-surface weapons which have enhanced target hit capabilities with laser seekers or similar guidance utilities. The dynamic interferences in nonlinear regions of the flight envelope, leads the studies on control of guided munitions to search for adaptive solutions. The missile used in this study has no propulsive forces and do the adequate maneuvers commanded by the guidance algorithm with its ...
Sliding mode guidance of an air-to-air missile
Ulu, Muharrem; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
Pursuit of a highly maneuverable aircraft by an air-to-air missile requires a solution to a challenging guidance and control problem. Precision is the most important need for these missiles. Appropriate guidance commands that are generated by the guidance method and an autopilot that can fulfil the agility needs of such a missile are the keys of minimizing the distance between the missile and the target and a successful interception. In this thesis, autopilot and guidance method design of an air-to-air miss...
