In this study, the best engagement ordering for a friendly fire unit against multiple targets is considered. This target prioritization is performed by computing a priority function based on the range and direction of a target using the images from an optical device. We automatically obtain the features of a target like x, y coordinates, intensity and size from the image sequence by the help of a tracker software. These features are used to estimate the range and the direction of each target. In our range estimation algorithm, camera properties (focal length, angle of view) and the features of the target extracted from tracker are used to find the z coordinate of the target. We estimate the range by using the x, y and z coordinates of the target. We assumed the direction is given by the cosine value of the angle between the vector pointing to the friendly force from the target and the vector of the movement of the target. We apply the direction algorithm by the help of the x, y, z coordinates of the target. After the estimation of the range and the direction, we applied target prioritization techniques. In the prioritization process, an expected utility value is computed for each possible engagement ordering using some features of the forces like range, direction, and mean rate of fire; then the ordering which maximizes this value is chosen. The aim of the friendly fire unit may vary: In some cases he may want to annihilate as many targets as possible regardless of the threats they pose whereas in other cases he may prefer to maximize the removed threat. The utility value used in all these cases may vary between zero and one. The strength of these range and direction estimation algorithms on engagement ordering are tested through simulated data and the results are approximately the same with the correct range and direction values.

Periodic search strategies for electronic countermeasure receivers with desired probability of intercept for each frequency band Köksal, Emin; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) Radar systems have been very effective in gathering information in a battlefield, so that the tactical actions can be decided. On the contrary, self-protection systems have been developed to break this activity of radars, for which radar signals must be intercepted to be able to take counter measures on time. Ideally, interception should be done in a certain time with a 100% probability, but in reality this is not the case. To intercept radar signals in shortest time with the highest probability, a search s...
Inertial-navıgation-system aiding by combining data link and seeker measurements Ata, Emre Han; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Erer, Koray Savaş; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-2) Missiles are equipped with seekers to increase the probability of intercepting the target. A gimballed seeker provides gimbal angles and rates used in a guidance law. Conventionally, the seeker is used at the terminal phase only. However, the seeker can also be used at the midcourse phase to eliminate inertial navigation system (INS) errors. Some missiles are also equipped with the data link to communicate with the platform. This data link provides data such as the image acquired by the seeker to the platfo...
Proxy-Based Sliding Mode Stabilization of a Two-Axis Gimbaled Platform Hasturk, Ozgur; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Erkmen, İsmet (2011-10-21) Nowadays, high portion of tactical missiles use gimbaled seekers. For accurate target tracking, the platform where the gimbal is mounted must be stabilized with respect to the motion of the missile body. Line of sight stabilization is critical for fast and precise tracking and alignment. Although conventional PID framework solves many stabilization problems, it is reported that many PID feedback loops are poorly tuned. In this paper, a recently introduced approach, proxy-based sliding mode control to a line...
Target detection by the ambiguity function technique and the conventional fourier transform technique in frequency coded continuous wave radars Akangöl, Mehmet; Sayan, Gönül; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) Continuous Wave (CW) radars are preferred for their low probability of intercept by the other receivers. Frequency modulation techniques, the linear frequency modulation (LFM) technique in particular, are commonly used in CW radars to resolve the range and the radial velocity of the detected targets. The conventional method for target detection in a linear FMCW radar makes use of a mixer followed by a low-pass filter whose output is Fourier transformed to get the range and velocity information. In this thes...
