From the concept exploration for a weapon system to training simulators, from hardware-in-the-loop simulators to mission planning tools, trajectory simulations are used throughout the life cycle of a weapon system. A trajectory simulation can be defined as a computational tool to calculate the flight path and flight parameters of munitions. There is a wide span of trajectory simulations differing widely with respect to their performance and fidelity characteristics, from simple point-mass simulations to six-seven degrees of freedom hardware-in-the-loop missile simulations. From our observations, it is a common practice in the industry that developments of these simulations are carried out as isolated projects although they rely on the same body of knowledge. We envision an ontology that will capture the common knowledge in trajectory simulation domain and make domain knowledge available for reuse. Trajectory Simulation Ontology, dubbed TSONT, is being developed to realize this vision.

Dynamic model integration and 3d graphical interface for a virtual ship
Çalargün, Canku Alp; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Computer Engineering (2008)
This thesis addresses the improvement of a physically based modeling simulator Naval Surface Tactical Maneuvering Simulation System (NSTMSS), that combines different simulators in a distributed environment by the help of High Level Architecture (HLA), to be used in naval tactical training systems. The objective is to upgrade a computer simulation program in which physical models are improved in order to achieve a more realistic movement of a ship in a virtual environment. The simulator will also be able to ...
A VERSATILE DYNAMIC ROTOR AND PROPELLER MODEL FOR ELECTRIC VTOL SIMULATION APPLICATIONS
Esmek, Ceren Cansu; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-9-02)
This thesis presents a versatile, dynamic rotor/propeller model for various all-electric and hybrid-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL) simulation applications. The goal is to reflect the transformative potential of eVTOL to carry different types of thrust sources using one generic mathematical model. The thrust sources may include propellers, articulated rotors, ducted rotors, and coaxial rotors. These rotors are modeled based on blade element theory. Rotor inflow is estimated using the ...
The Effect of blade torsional elasticity on helicopter flight dynamics
Akel, Ezgi; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017)
Helicopter design and test stages require more complex and high fidelity flight dynamic models to aid the design process of the helicopters. In the common approach, rigid rotor blades models are used in the flight dynamics models and since this is a fast modeling method. However, increased flexibility of the rotor blades necessitates the use of elastic blade models to have more accurate prediction of the rotor loads and the control angles. Elasticity brings extra fidelity to the flight dynamics model which ...
Cognitive Modelling of Opposing Forces at the Simulation Analysis Lab
Topcu, Yeliz; Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz; Ulubay, Murat; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2021-12-09)
In modern military systems, engagement simulations are used to assist in conceptual design and verification of weapon systems. The quality of these simulations is directly proportional to the level of authenticity of the behavior of the components that are modeled. For this reason, it is important to represent the behavior of human controlled components by accounting for the cognitive aspects including human limitations and flaws. In various studies, the behaviors of these components are modeled using cogni...
Developing an HLA-based naval maneuvering simulation
Topcu, O; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S. (Wiley, 2005-12-01)
This paper discusses the main issues involved in developing a high level architecture (HLA)-based distributed simulation while presenting an application called Naval Surface Tactical Maneuvering Simulation System (NSTMSS), which is intended to serve as a testbed for HLA and distributed interactive simulation (DIS) research. NSTMSS provides a networked virtual environment (NVE) for naval surface actions in which new formations can be evaluated and tested and present ones can be practiced and analyzed. This p...
