This research aims to investigate problems, needs of the UAV industry, and required actions for the future in Turkey, to determine technological maturity criteria, and to prepare a technology roadmap. Qualitative data collected through interviews with actors from institutions/enterprises operating in the UAV industry is analysed, and inferences about the Turkish UAV industry are made, and suggestions for findings are developed. Twenty statements prepared to determine the technology goals for the Turkish UAV industry are evaluated using the Delphi technique in two rounds, and a technology roadmap is developed on intelligent flight management of UAV swarms that are resistant to adverse conditions. Technology roadmap and maturity model are built through expert interviews. The maturity model proposed presents descriptive and prescriptive roles. The current state of the Turkish UAV industry is evaluated, conducting an application of the maturity model through a survey. The outputs of the study are presented with technical details, assessment of researcher, and policy recommendations.

An analytical approach for modelling unmanned aerial vehicles and base station interaction for disaster recovery scenarios Owilla, Eugene; Ever, Enver; Computer Engineering (2022-8) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are an emerging technology with the potential to be used in various sectors for a wide array of applications and services. In wireless networking, UAVs are a vital part of supplementary infrastructure aimed at improv- ing coverage principally during public safety crises. Due to their relatively low cost and scalability of use, there has been a mushrooming focus into the roles that UAVs can play in ameliorating service provided to stranded ground devices. Following a public sa...
An Approach for System Identification in Unmanned Surface Vehicles Erunsal, Izzet Kagan; Ahiska, Kenan; Kumru, Murat; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2017-10-21) In this study, a system identification methodology is introduced to determine the model parameters of unmanned surface vehicles. The proposed identification scheme is based on sequencing the experiments according to their capabilities to identify the model parameters. In each experiment, the parameters to be found are updated and the results are validated before ascertaining the final value. A procedure to complete the identification work in an experiment, namely the required post-processing, the optimizati...
Conceptual design of a stealth unmanned combat aerial vehicle with multidisciplinary design optimization Çakın, Uğur; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018) The present study aims to develop a methodology for multi-disciplinary design optimization (MDO) of an unmanned combat aerial vehicle. At the current stage of optimization study, three disciplines are considered, which are aerodynamics, structural weight and radar cross section (RCS) signature. As objective functions, maximum range and minimum RCS signature are employed. To generate pareto-optimal solutions, multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) function of MATLAB® is performed. To get aerodyn...
The use of blockchain technology in public administration: implications for Turkey Pekdemir, Emine; Yavuz, Nilay; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2021-10) This study aims to evaluate the academic literature and current blockchain implementations in public administration in the Republic of Korea, Estonia, Australia, United Kingdom and Israel, to discover possible opportunities, challenges and implementation areas of this technology for Turkish public administration. The selection of the countries is based on the UN EGDI and the OECD STI Scoreboard. In the first part, the features of blockchain technology and the academic literature were analyzed. Then, strateg...
A simulation study of ad hoc networking of UAVs with opportunistic resource utilization networks Lilien, Leszek T.; BEN OTHMANE, Lotfi; Angın, Pelin; DECARLO, Andrew; Salih, Raed M.; BHARGAVA, Bharat (Elsevier BV, 2014-02-01) Specialized ad hoc networks of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been playing increasingly important roles in applications for homeland defense and security. Common resource virtualization techniques are mainly designed for stable networks; they fall short in providing optimal performance in more dynamic networks such as mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs)-due to their highly dynamic and unstable nature. We propose application of Opportunistic Resource Utilization Networks (Oppnets), a novel type of MANETs, ...
