Unmanned systems are taking increasingly the place of people in dangerous environments and in military missions day by day. Many military unmanned systems have been designed and manufactured worldwide. As a result of military use, the need to integrate existing and newly produced weapons into existing and newly produced unmanned systems continues. In the case of weapon integration into unmanned systems, there is a need for standardization to reduce costs, reduce integration time, simplify operations and minimize technical problems. In this study, which aims to standardize communication in unmanned systems, Joint Architecture for Unmanned Systems (JAUS) standard has been chosen as the mainstay of the study. The scope of the study was determined as guided tactical missiles. Taking into account the needs of the weapon systems included in the scope and the current structure of the Joint Architecture for Unmanned Systems (JAUS) standard, the weapon component and communication structure is defined as an extension to the Joint Architecture for Unmanned Systems (JAUS) standard.

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...
Solving the area coverage problem with UAVs: A vehicle routing with time windows variation
Semiz, Fatih; Polat, Faruk (Elsevier BV, 2020-4)
In real life, providing security for a set of large areas by covering the area with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is a difficult problem that consist of multiple objectives. These difficulties are even greater if the area coverage must continue throughout a specific time window. We address this by considering a Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) variation in which capacity of agents is one and each customer (target area) must be supplied with more than one vehicles simultaneously without v...
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...
Blockchain-Based Data Security in Military Autonomous Systems
Angın, Pelin (2020-11-01)
Advances in technology have enabled the increased use of autonomous systems such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in military operations and other critical military communications. While the use of autonomous systems has greatly facilitated military operations, provided a global view of the operational environment and eased sensitive data collection, making possible reduced casualties, it has also created a greater cyber attack surface due to its high level of automation. The existence of adversaries targ...
A Trust-based Approach for Secure Data Dissemination in a Mobile Peer-to-Peer Network of AVs
Bhargava, Bharat K.; Angın, Pelin; Ranchal, Rohit; Sivakumar, Ranjitkumar; Linderman, Mark; Sinclair, Asher (2012-03-01)
Mobile peer-to-peer networks of aerial vehicles (AVs) have become significant in collaborative tasks including military missions and search and rescue operations. However, the nature of the communication between the nodes in these networks makes the disseminated data prone to interception by malicious parties, which could cause serious harm for the designated mission of the network. In this paper, we propose an approach for secure data dissemination in a mobile peer-to-peer network, where the data disclosed...
