The demand for enhanced radar technologies has grown while mission requests have become more complex. Development of Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Technologies has created enormous functional achievements. Development of radar platforms has led to the radar resource allocation issues and adaptive Radar Resource Management (RRM) studies for Multi-Function Radars. Combining the functionality of different tasks in one special device also makes resource allocation process more challenging due to its comprehensive capabilities. Such complicated systems have become an example of technology in which multiple tasks can share multiple resources in order to satisfy their requirements. Therefore, resource optimization strategy is becoming more crucial for radar systems. This thesis is mainly focused on radar resource allocation in order to ensure optimization of radar resources in an efficient way. A proposed resource allocation approach described in [1] is applied in detail. Optimization-based measurement policies are studied for online beam scheduling in real-time. Radar tasks by which resource allocation is held are approached like series of independent tracking and searching subtasks in the system. Using the independent subtask approach makes optimization easier and converts it to a known general integer linear programming problem. The optimization problem is modeled to maximize overall utility function based on tracking quality in real time while meeting resource constraints. Connection of radar tasks is handled via constraints of the resources, and the constraints are included in a resource allocation algorithm using Lagrange relaxation method. In addition, different performance measures are used in optimization to reflect different aspects which are important at the slow time level. As an example, implementation and testing of tracking in clutter using Probabilistic Data Association is studied. Using PDA filter, control of the gating thresholds gives rise to a different optimization problem solution.

Stochastic Dynamic Programming Based Resource Allocation for Multi Target Tracking for Electronically Steered Antenna Radar Uzun, Caglar; Demirekler, Mübeccel (2015-05-19) In this work, the concept of sensor management is introduced and stochastic dynamic programming based resource allocation approach is proposed to track multi target. The core of this approach is to use Lagrange relaxation for decreasing the state space dimension. By this approximation, the overall problem is separated into components instead of using joint Markov model to optimize large scale stochastic control problem. The aim of this study is to adaptively allocate radar resources in an optimal way in ord...
Performance Improvement of Time-Balance Radar Schedulers Through Decision Policies Çayır, Ömer; Candan, Çağatay (2018-08-01) The resource management of a phase array system capable of multiple target tracking and surveillance is critical for the realization of its full potential. This paper aims to improve the performance of an existing method, time-balance (TB) scheduling, by establishing an analogy with a well-known stochastic control problem, the machine replacement problem. With the suggested policy, the scheduler can adapt to the operational scenario without a significant sacrifice from the practicality of the TB schedulers....
Numerical and experimental analysis of a piezoelectric flat plate in flapping motion Harputlu, Özgür; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014) The technology of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has a rapid improvement and their use is increasing day by day for military and civilian missions. Developments in production technology enable the fabrication of micro aerial vehicles. Flapping wing systems have an important place among UAVs. These vehicles are superior to fixed wing aircrafts with their high maneuverability and hover capabilities and they can successfully perform many missions in which the fixed aircrafts are insufficient. Developments in m...
Robust Formation Coordination of Robot Swarms with Nonlinear Dynamics and Unknown Disturbances: Design and Experiments Hu, Junyan; Turgut, Ali Emre; Lennox, Barry; Arvin, Farshad (2021-01-01) Coordination of robot swarms has received significant research interest over the last decade due to its wide real-world applications including precision agriculture, target surveillance, planetary exploration, etc. Many of these practical activities can be formulated as a formation tracking problem. This brief aims to design a robust control strategy for networked robot swarms subjected to nonlinear dynamics and unknown disturbances. Firstly, a robust adaptive formation coordination protocol is proposed for...
Imaging-based attitude determination algorithm for small satellites: Design and the preliminary results Güzel, Mehmet Burak; Söken, Halil Ersin; Tekinalp, Ozan (2020-01-01) Limitations for small satellite missions encourages researchers and engineers to use on-board equipment for multiple tasks. Thus, both space can be saved and the equipment redundancy can be prevented. For Earth-imaging satellites a prominent equipment that can be used for multiple purposes is the camera. Other than the observation, the taken images can be used as measurements for determining the absolute or relative attitude of the spacecraft. Depending on also the content of the image (e.g. stars, Earth, M...
