In this study, a software that is utilized after the pre-design phase of the missile design is presented. This software consists of computational domain modeller and multi-block structured mesh generator. Geometrical design variables of the missile used in the software are based on Missile DATCOM and the presented software eliminates the time consumed between the preliminary design and the CFD analysis by automating the computational domain generation. In order to model the different orientations of the fins during the flight, fins and the body of the missile are brought together by the use of overset mesh method which eliminates the time for modifying and deforming the mesh during the solution time. Mesh generation is automated and the user only need to enter the basic geometric variables of the missile which can be obtained from Missile DATCOM software.

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...
Control and trajectory planning of a quadrotor with a 2-dof robotic arm f or precise target engagement
Sel, Mehmet Anıl; Turgut, Ali Emre; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2020)
In this study, control and trajectory planning of a quadcopter system is presented for precise target engagement. Quadcopter system consists of a quadcopter body, a 2-DOF robotic arm mounted at the bottom and an object is held by the end-effector of the robotic arm. As for the dynamics of the quadcopter system is derived by using the kinematic relations of the system members. Equation of motion is obtained by using Lagrange-d’Alembert’s Principle. Then, object-target engagement is investigated by considerin...
Automatic target recognition in infrared imagery
Bayık, Tuba Makbule; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
The task of automatically recognizing targets in IR imagery has a history of approximately 25 years of research and development. ATR is an application of pattern recognition and scene analysis in the field of defense industry and it is still one of the challenging problems. This thesis may be viewed as an exploratory study of ATR problem with encouraging recognition algorithms implemented in the area. The examined algorithms are among the solutions to the ATR problem, which are reported to have good perform...
Advanced readout and control electronics for mems gyroscopes
Temiz, Yüksel; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
This thesis reports the development of advanced readout and control electronics for MEMS gyroscopes developed at METU. These gyroscope electronics are separated into three main groups: high sensitive interface circuits, drive mode amplitude controlled self oscillation loops, and sense mode phase sensitive amplitude demodulators. The proposed circuits are first implemented with discrete components, and then integrated on CMOS chips. A self oscillation loop enabling constant amplitude drive mode vibrations in...
Feature set evaluation for a generic missile detection system
Avan, K. Selçuk; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
Missile Detection System (MDS) is one of the main components of a self-protection system developed against the threat of guided missiles for airborne platforms. The requirements such as time critical operation and high accuracy in classification performance make the ‘Pattern Recognition’ problem of an MDS a hard task. Problem can be defined in two main parts such as ‘Feature Set Evaluation’ (FSE) and ‘Classifier’ designs. The main goal of feature set evaluation is to employ a dimensionality reduction proces...
