In this thesis study, a developed kill analysis tool for the missiles having proximity fuzes is presented. Some of today’s missiles have proximity fuze, and this type of missiles’ warhead can be detonated not when the missile hits the target but at a certain distance. The warhead consists of fragments, and the fragments scattered by the explosion’s effect are intended to penetrate the target. A tool is needed for doing kill analysis in order to find the blasting time that the maximum number of fragments hit the target. It is aimed to detonate the warhead at the right time during the missile-target engagement by doing kill analyses for different engagement conditions with the help of the developed tool. Then, the kill analysis results are embedded into the missile computer before the missile is launched.

Missile autopilot design by projective control theory Doruk, Reşat Özgür; Kocaoğlan, Erol; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003) In this thesis, autopilots are developed for missiles with moderate dynamics and stationary targets. The aim is to use the designs in real applications. Since the real missile model is nonlinear, a linearization process is required to get use of systematic linear controller design techniques. In the scope of this thesis, the linear quadratic full state feedback approach is applied for developing missile autopilots. However, the limitations of measurement systems on the missiles restrict the availability of ...
Trajectory optimization of a tactical missile by using genetic algorithm Özdil, Baran Dilan; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018) In this thesis, estimation of an optimal trajectory for a tactical missile is studied. Missile guidance algorithm is developed to achieve a desired mission goal according to some performance criteria and the imposed constraints. Guidance algorithms may include trajectory optimization to shape the whole trajectory in an optimal way, so that the desired performance needs such as maximum impact velocity, minimum time-of-flight or specific crossing angles can be satisfied. By performing missile path planning, a...
Response surface based performance analysis of an air-defense missile system Günaydın, Kerem; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014) In this thesis, response surface based performance analysis of an air defense missile system was performed. System performance defined as the probability of hit is determined using a conventional grid analysis in order to set up a control group. Then, some experiments were designed to construct response surfaces (RSM). Simulation model was run for these experiment points. Response surfaces for the whole operational area of an air defense missile system is developed using these experiments, so as to be able ...
Aerodynamic Design Analysis Of Missiles With Strake Configurations At Supersonic Mach Numbers Usta, Engin; Kıvanç, Arslan; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2015-09-10) In this study a neural network based method is developed for the prediction of separation characteristics of external store weapons carried under aircraft wings. The method is based on an artificial neural network trained by high fidelity unsteady flow solutions. The unsteady flow solutions as the store separates from the carriage and the resulting six degrees of freedom motion of the store are computed conditions by a commercial flow solver for various flight conditions. The trajectory of the store and the...
Applications of data envelopment analysıs and principal component analysis to evaluate efficiency of air force squadrons. Özarslan, Tamer; Saatçioğlu, Tamer; Department of Industrial Engineering (2003) Main purpose of this thesis is to show how the efficiency of Turkish Airforce F-16 squadrons can be evaluated based on some predefined criteria by using leading techniques in science. There are 10 squadrons in the analysis with three types of outputs and two types of input variables. Namely, these are The Operational Flight Sorties, The Secondary Flight Sorties and The Level of Flight Education as outputs, and Manning and Aircraft Hours as inputs. When input data is aggregated, Analytic Hierarchy Process (A...
