A typical mission profile of submarine-launched cruise missiles begins with the launch phase which covers the motion of the missile from the launch to the water-exit and continues with the boost phase which lasts from the water-exit to the beginning of the cruise phase. In order to achieve the desired range of the launch and boost phases, efficient utilization of available energy which carries the missile to the beginning of the cruise phase is necessary. For this purpose, this study presents a new approach for energy-optimal control of the underwater and air motion of a submarine-launched cruise missile. In this approach, the aforementioned problem is modeled and solved as a minimum-effort optimal control problem. Then, the effects of initial and final conditions on energy need are investigated, and the optimal conditions that result with the minimum energy need are determined. Besides that, to control the motion of the missile from the sea surface to target, proportional-integral-derivative (PID), linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and pole-placement based autopilots are designed and compared with each other. Prior to the guidance and control design steps, six degrees of freedom (6 DOF) motion equations are derived, then the hydrodynamic and aerodynamic parameters are retrieved. The nonlinear 6 DOF motion model is simplified and linearized before minimum-effort optimal control design and autopilot studies. Results of the designed guidance and control strategies are presented through the nonlinear 6 DOF simulations. Finally, some comments are made and future studies are mentioned based on theoretical and simulation studies.

Varying mass missile dynamics, guidance & control Günbatar, Yakup; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) The focus of this study is to be able to control the air-to-surface missile throughout the entire flight, with emphasis on the propulsion phase to increase the impact range of the missile. A major difficulty in controlling the missile during the propulsion phase is the important change in mass of the missile. This results in sliding the center of gravity (cg) point and changing inertias. Moreover, aerodynamic coefficients and stability derivatives are not assumed to be constant at predetermined ranges; conv...
Design of an LPV Based Fractional Controller for the Vibration Suppression of a Smart Beam Onat, Cem; Şahin, Melin; Yaman, Yavuz; Eswar, Prasad; Saılu, Nemana (2011-12-01) One of the major problems encountered in the active vibration control of aircraft wings is the changing mass due to the in-flight fuel consumption. In this study, a Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) based fractional controller is designed for the suppression of the flexural vibrations of a smart beam. The designed controller is sensitive to the varying mass properties. The smart beam studied was a cantilever aluminium beam with eight surface bonded Lead-Zirconate-Titanate (PZT) patches. The smart beam was exci...
Aeroelastic Modelling and Testing of a Thin Laminated Composite Missile Fin/Wing Aslan, Göktuğ; Kırımlıoğlu, Serdar; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda (null; 2017-06-09) Missile fins or wings exposed to different coupled aerodynamic loads during the mission or flight at subsonic and supersonic velocity profile. Aerodynamic loads varying with the angle of attack and the velocity profile may cause some structural fatigue and failure problems. In order to achieve such problems, high strength materials such as composites are required. In this work, a laminated composite missile fin was investigated in terms of the strength varying with the aerodynamic profile. The fiber orienta...
Orbit Control of an Earth Orbiting Solar Sail Satellite Polat, Halis Can; Tekinalp, Ozan (2022-09-01) A concept for the utilization of solar sail satellite's propellant-free thrust capability at Low earth orbit (LEO) is proposed and its orbit control strategy is analyzed. Thrust vector control of the sail's normal direction is used to harvest the solar radiation pressure for generating the necessary acceleration to change the orbital elements. The required control vector direction is determined with two approaches. The first approach is realized by approximating the Gaussian Variational Equations at the emp...
Control System Design of a Vertical Take-off and Landing Fixed-Wing UAV Cakici, Ferit; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2016-05-20) In this study, design and implementation of control system of a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vechicle (UAV) with level flight capability is considered. The platform structure includes both multirotor and fixed-wing (FW) conventional aircraft control surfaces: therefore named as VTOL-FW. The proposed method includes implementation of multirotor and airplane controllers and design of an algorithm to switch between them in achieving transitions between VTOL and FW flight modes. Thus, VT...
