Multiobjective Conceptual Design of an Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle

2012-09-19
Design optimization of a supersonic unmanned combat air vehicle is addressed. Proper mathematical models are developed, with constraints on optimization variables and performance limits. Multiple cooling multi objective simulated annealing algorithm is used to carry out the optimization. The results demonstrate that design optimization formulation as well as the algorithms employed is effective to help designers to come up with baseline configurations.

The Multiple Cooling Multi-Objective Simulated Annealing Algorithm is used for the conceptual design optimization of a supersonic Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV). Single and multiobjective optimization problems are addressed while limiting performance requirements between desired bounds to obtain viable aircraft configurations. A conceptual aircraft design code was prepared for planned but flexible combat missions. The results demonstrate that the optimization technique employed is an effective tool f...
Trajectory optimization of advanced launch system
Karsli, G; Tekinalp, Ozan (2005-06-11)
Trajectory optimization of an advanced launch vehicle is addressed. The optimal control problem is converted into a parameter optimization problem. Then, simulated annealing based single and multiobjective optimization algorithms are used. The single objective optimization problem is formulated to minimize the total flight time, while the multiobjective formulation tries to maximize payload mass and orbit insertion velocity. The problem is also solved using our novel multiple cooling multiobjective simulate...

Isıyel, Kadir; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV) in open-seas are highly nonlinear with system motions. Because of the complex interaction of the body with environment it is difficult to control them efficiently. Linearization is applied to system in order to design controllers developed for linear systems. To overcome the effects of disturbances, a mathematical model which will compensate all disturbances and effects of linearization is required. In this study first a mathematical model is formed wherein the linear and ...

Karakaş, Deniz; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
The nonlinear simulation model of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in MATLAB®/Simulink® environment is developed by taking into consideration all the possible major system components such as actuators, gravity, engine, atmosphere, wind-turbulence models, as well as the aerodynamics components in the 6 DOF equations of motion. Trim and linearization of the developed nonlinear model are accomplished and various related analyses are carried out. The model is validated by comparing with a similar UAV data in te...
