As the focal plane array (FPA) infrared detector technology is developed, imaging infrared seeker guided missiles threaten air platforms more in recent years. In this paper, the effectiveness of MTV flares, which are used to protect air platforms against this type of threats, is evaluated. For this purpose, a simulation software, which includes G/M model with IIR seeker, MTV flare model and F 16 air platform model, is developed.

High operating temperature mid-wave infrared HgCdTe photodiode design Yurtseven, Eray; Kocaman, Serdar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) Infrared focal plane arrays are critical components in many of the military and civilian applications for advanced imaging systems. HgCdTe is one of the most widely used infrared detector material. An important issue with this material for thermal imaging system is the operating temperature as it determines cryocooler crucial characteristics, namely power comsumption and device lifetime. Therefore, there is an effort towards to operate at higher temperatures, but performance characteristics need to be caref...
A Surface-to-air missile equipped with a tracking based ECCM techniques Yurttaş, Rağıp; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) Surface-to-air missiles having infrared detectors, aiming to destroy air platforms, determine the position of targets based on the infrared energy radiating from air platforms. It is possible to detect infrared signals radiating from an air platform by a missile seeker. This will enable the missile to estimate target position with respect to missile seeker. On the other hand, there are many advanced techniques developed to prevent missiles to damage targets. It is a real need for the missiles to overcome th...
Increasing air defense capability by optimizing burst distance Türkuzan, Mehmet; Kocaoğlan, Erol; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) In this thesis, burst distance is optimized to increase air defense capability for systems utilizing airburst munitions. A simulator program is created to use during the study by taking advantage of the MATLAB environment. While creating the simulator program, a munition path model is derived by using fourth order Runge-Kutta method. Then, simulations are conducted at different burst distances and related information are recorded. By using least square optimization method and gathered data, optimum burst di...
Detection of mini/micro unmanned air vehicle (UAV) under clutter presence and environmental effects Dere, İsmail Gökhan; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) Detection, tracking and classification of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) is an emerging and crucial capability of radars in recent years. In the presence of clutter such as a crowded city or a foggy weather above sea surface, mini and micro UAVs become very difficult for radars to detect, track and classify. Classification information of UAV targets can be very useful for the critical infrastructures in order to provide security. Examined studies imply that kinematic and characteristic features such as Dopple...
Imaging infrared seeker design Ünal, Ahmet; Çakır, Serhat; Department of Physics (2014) The subject of this study is the design of an imaging infrared seeker for aerial targets. Firstly the radiant power of the target was discussed and optical design of seeker lenses were done with ZEMAX Optical Design Software considering the MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) values, optical path ifferences, distortions and detection range calculations. After that, detection range calculations and simulation results of the optical system were presented. Before lock on range calculations, spectral band of the...
