Self-defense solutions on current aircraft usually handle advanced weapons while most helicopters down or damaged are known to be attacked from ground using rifles or Rocket-Propelled Grenades (RPG). Although there are ground based localization solutions for Small Arms Fire (SAF) attacks, there are only a few implementations of onboard applications. A simple Acoustic Source Localization (ASL) application employs a microphone array for collecting audio signals, so as to locate sound sources using the measurements from the sound field. The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of Acoustic Gunshot Localization on helicopters by examining domain-specific signal amplitude and frequency characteristics and simulating three different acoustic source localization algorithms' operation under these conditions.

Experimental analysis and modelling of wear in rocket rail launchers
Açmaz, Emre; Akkök, Metin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011)
Launchers are military systems that are responsible for communication with munitions, safe seperation and aiming of rockets and missiles to the target. Since they are military equipments, they are used in harsh environments. One of the most important design considerations for military equipment is its maintability and one of the most important parameter which affects the maintability is wear in launchers. Therefore, for predicting the life-time of a launcher, wear should be investigated beside other paramet...
Modelling and controller design of the gun and turret system for an aircraft
Mert, Ahmet; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
Gun and gun turret systems are the primary units of the weapon systems of an aircraft. They are required to hit targets accurately during operations. That is why a complete, high precision control of weapon systems is required. This function is provided by accurate modeling of the system and the design of a suitable controller. This study presents the modeling of and controller design for the gun and turret system for an aircraft. For the controller design purpose, first the mathematical model of the system...
Numerical investigation of flow control strategies on delta wings
Yıldırım, Alper; Sert, Cüneyt; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAV) and Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV) have been increasing in recent years. The researchers aim to understand the complex flow structure around low sweep angle delta wings, which are frequently used in such vehicles.They are also interested in controlling the flight performance of these vehicles by various active and passive means. This study involves numerical simulations of flows around a delta wing with a sweep angle of 45oat hig...
