Short-range air-to-surface missiles have become globally popular in the last two decades. As a performance driver, the type of guidance law gains importance. In this study, proportional navigation, velocity pursuit, and augmented proportional navigation guidance laws, whose resulting guidance commands take the form of lateral acceleration, are applied to a short-range air-to-surface missile against both stationary and maneuvering ground targets. Body pursuit and linear homing guidance laws, which yield angular commands, are additionally applied. Having completed the relevant computer simulations, we conclude that none of the acceleration- and angle-based guidance laws are absolutely superior to the others.

Dört rotorlu bir insansız hava aracının geri adımlama yöntemi ile yol takibi kontrolü
Emrecan, Suiçmez; Kutay, Ali Türker (2014-07-01)
Dört rotorlu(quadrotor), son yıllarda bir çok araştırmacı tarafından çalışılan çok popüler bir insansız hava aracıdır(İHA). Dört rotorlu, dikey iniş kalkış(VTOL) özelliği ve yüksek manevra kabiliyeti sayesinde klasik insansız hava araçlarına göre bir çok avantaja sahiptir. VTOL özelliği sayesinde, özellikle engebeli ve kısıtlı ortamlarda, uzun iniş ve kalkış pistine ihtiyaç duymadan kullanılabilmektedir. Ayrıca, dört rotorlu, VTOL özelliği taşıyan diğer İHA'lara göre, mekanik olarak daha basit bir yapıya sa...
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...
Design and evaluation of a helicopter main rotor electrohydraulic control system
Düzağaç, Hasan Ali; Çalışkan, Hakan; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-8-26)
Helicopters are widely used aircrafts for several purposes. Main Rotor of a Helicopter creates necessary flight forces for performing flight operation. Orientation of a Helicopter Rotor System is determined and controlled manually by pilot and automatically by automatic control system via hydraulically operated flight control actuators. In this research, a novel electrohydraulically operated helicopter main rotor control system is mathematically designed and developed to improve overall performance of contr...
Mission planning for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) teams
Yılgın, Serdar; Polat, Faruk; Department of Computer Engineering (2014)
In recent years, use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) especially for reconnaissance and combat missions has become very popular in worldwide. There is no onboard human operator exists for UAVs and they are generally controlled by remote human operators. Depending on the operational environment; sometimes it becomes nearly impossible to provide optimal or an acceptable UAV – target assignment and scheduling, satisfying the constraints required to accomplish the mission, for the operators in control center. I...
Design and control of nose actuation kit for position correction of spin stabilized munitions under wind effect
Eroğlu, Mesut; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2016)
Unguided munitions have been replaced with guided munitions over the century. There are two main reasons for this change; to increase damage to target with fewer munitions and reduce collateral damage due to deflection of munitions. Moreover, there are two options, building new guided munitions and modification of unguided munitions to convert dummy munitions to smart ones. Modifying unguided munitions to have guided munitions instead of building a completely new one is preferable due to economic reasons. T...
