Motivation of this study is to verify system safety analysis of HAVELSAN Peace Eagle Program developed hardware items for Ground Support Systems. A preliminary hazard analysis for each of the hardware developed items are performed and safety hazard analysis models are constructed with risk assessment of hazards based on their probability of occurrences for future operational and maintenance activities. An example for this kind of analysis the system safety fault tree analysis model of a Ground Support Segment Mission Simulator subsystem Power Distribution Adapter Cabinet design with hazardous risk assessments criteria according to the military standard specifications. Same analysis approach then modeled with Petri Nets that has extensions from fault tree analysis approach and enables the modeler to represent the probability of occurrences in the system design phase. Same model can be built in the specification phase which creates the potential for early validation of the system design behavior.

Adaptive control of guided missiles
Tiryaki Kutluay, Kadriye; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2011)
This thesis presents applications and an analysis of various adaptive control augmentation schemes to various baseline flight control systems of an air to ground guided missile. The missile model used in this research has aerodynamic control surfaces on its tail section. The missile is desired to make skid to turn maneuvers by following acceleration commands in the pitch and yaw axis, and by keeping zero roll attitude. First, a linear quadratic regulator baseline autopilot is designed for the control of the...
Path planning and coordinated guidance of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles
Ergezer, Halit; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
In this thesis, both off-line and online coordinated path planning for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are studied. These problems have emerged due to the increasing needs for UAVs in both military and civil applications. To accomplish a certain objective, both the path planning for a single UAV and for multiple UAVs have been examined. Although there are previous studies in this field, we focus on maximizing the collected information instead of minimizing the total mission time. Studies carried out in this...
State Estimation and Control for Low-cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Söken, Halil Ersin (Springer, London/Berlin , 2015-04-01)
This book discusses state estimation and control procedures for a low-cost unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The authors consider the use of robust adaptive Kalman filter algorithms and demonstrate their advantages over the optimal Kalman filter in the context of the difficult and varied environments in which UAVs may be employed. Fault detection and isolation (FDI) and data fusion for UAV air-data systems are also investigated, and control algorithms, including the classical, optimal, and fuzzy ...
GPS based altitude control of an unmanned air vehicle using digital terrain elevation data
Ataç, Selçuk; Platin, Bülent Emre; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006)
In this thesis, an unmanned air vehicle (UAV) is used to develop a prototype base test platform for flight testing of new control algorithms and avionics for advanced UAV system development applications. A control system that holds the UAV at a fixed altitude above the ground is designed and flight tested. Only the longitudinal motion of the UAV is considered during the controller design, hence its lateral motions are controlled manually by a remote control unit from the ground. UAV’s altitude with respect ...
Reinforcement learning control for helicopter landing in autorotation
Kopsa, Kadircan; Kutay, Ali Türker (2018-01-01)
This study presents an application of an actor-critic reinforcement learning method to the nonlinear problem of helicopter guidance during autorotation in order to achieve safe landing following engine power loss. A point mass model of an OH-58A helicopter in autorotation was built to simulate autorotation dynamics. The point-mass model includes equations of motion In vertical plane. The states of the point-mass model are the horizontal and vertical velocities, the horizontal and vertical positions, the rot...
