In basic guidance applications, the line-of-sight (LOS) and line-of-sight rate information, which can be provided using a passive seeker, are enough to steer the missile to the target. However, if one wants to augment the guidance algorithm, further information regarding the engagement and/or target is needed. Unlike passive seekers, active and semi-active seekers may provide such information. Nevertheless, if the missile is equipped with a passive seeker, those parameters need to be estimated. Various methods are available in the literature for the estimation, which use Kalman Filters, lacking observability if the missile does not accelerate. In this thesis, using a brute force method, a new algorithm for estimating target parameters is proposed; which does not need missile acceleration for observability.

Subject Keywords

Guided missiles, Kalman filtering.

Missile autopilot design by projective control theory Doruk, Reşat Özgür; Kocaoğlan, Erol; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003) In this thesis, autopilots are developed for missiles with moderate dynamics and stationary targets. The aim is to use the designs in real applications. Since the real missile model is nonlinear, a linearization process is required to get use of systematic linear controller design techniques. In the scope of this thesis, the linear quadratic full state feedback approach is applied for developing missile autopilots. However, the limitations of measurement systems on the missiles restrict the availability of ...
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...
Fuzzy logic guidance system design for guided missiles Vural, A. Özgür; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Merttopçuoğlu, Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003) This thesis involves modeling, guidance, control, and flight simulations of a canard controlled guided missile. The autopilot is designed by a pole placement technique. Designed autopilot is used with the guidance systems considered in the thesis. Five different guidance methods are applied in the thesis, one of which is the famous proportional navigation guidance. The other four guidance methods are different fuzzy logic guidance systems designed considering different types of guidance inputs. Simulations ...
Adaptive control of guided missiles Tiryaki Kutluay, Kadriye; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2011) This thesis presents applications and an analysis of various adaptive control augmentation schemes to various baseline flight control systems of an air to ground guided missile. The missile model used in this research has aerodynamic control surfaces on its tail section. The missile is desired to make skid to turn maneuvers by following acceleration commands in the pitch and yaw axis, and by keeping zero roll attitude. First, a linear quadratic regulator baseline autopilot is designed for the control of the...
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...
