In modern military systems, engagement simulations are used to assist in conceptual design and verification of weapon systems. The quality of these simulations is directly proportional to the level of authenticity of the behavior of the components that are modeled. For this reason, it is important to represent the behavior of human controlled components by accounting for the cognitive aspects including human limitations and flaws. In various studies, the behaviors of these components are modeled using cognitive architectures. These representations of behavior can contain several cognitive processes, but in many studies, a single cognitive process has been modeled and the interacting cognitive processes have not been adequately studied. In this thesis, computational cognitive model of situational awareness and surprisal related cognitive processes were implemented using SOAR cognitive architecture. The behaviors of agents guided by these cognitive models have been observed by performing various experiments in the STAGE simulation environment. Interaction of the two cognitive processes modelled has been discussed.

Cyber Warfare Integration to Conventional Combat Modeling: A Bayesian Framework
Sengul, Zafer; Acartürk, Cengiz (2021-01-01)
© 2021 IEEE.Malware propagation is capable of introducing adverse effects in military operations since today's high-tech military weapons and command, control, and communication systems are essentially interconnected ICT systems. Conventional warfare models have been recently upgraded to include cyber warfare elements to reflect the potential influence of cyber-attacks. In the present study, we propose and evaluate a framework for modeling the integrated effect of the spread of malware through computer netw...
An ontology for trajectory simulation
Durak, Umut; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Ider, S. Kemal (2006-12-06)
From the concept exploration for a weapon system to training simulators, from hardware-in-the-loop simulators to mission planning tools, trajectory simulations are used throughout the life cycle of a weapon system. A trajectory simulation can be defined as a computational tool to calculate the flight path and flight parameters of munitions. There is a wide span of trajectory simulations differing widely with respect to their performance and fidelity characteristics, from simple point-mass simulations to six...
DYNAMIC MODELING AND CONTROL OF AN ELECTROMECHANICAL CONTROL ACTUATION SYSTEM
Yerlikaya, Umit; Balkan, Raif Tuna (2017-10-13)
Electromechanical actuators are widely used in miscellaneous applications in engineering such as aircrafts, missiles, etc. due to their momentary overdrive capability, long-term storability, and low quiescent power/low maintenance characteristics. This work focuses on electromechanical control actuation systems (CAS) that are composed of a brushless direct current motor, ball screw, and lever mechanism. In this type of CAS, nonlinearity and asymmetry occur due to the lever mechanism itself, saturation limit...
Computational modeling of frontal polymerization
Kaya, Koray; Göktepe, Serdar; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-2-09)
Polymer-based composites are widely applied in high-tech areas such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and energy industries where high performance under extreme conditions is crucial. However, the traditional methods used to manufacture polymeric materials are energy-inefficient, time-consuming, complex, and costly processes. Frontal polymerization, an alternative curing method, is based on a self-propagating, self-sustained exothermic reaction front that transforms liquid monomers into cured polymers where...
Detailed modeling and control of a 2-DOF gimbal system
Poyrazoğlu, Erhan; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017)
Gimbal systems are used in various engineering applications such as military systems. Their configurations are designed according to the types of application and desired performance requirements. The essential aim of these systems is to compensate the disturbance effects in order to stabilize LOS and positioning to the desired point. In this thesis, first, a detailed mathematical model of a 2-DOF gimbal system containing some nonlinear dynamic effects such as friction, static and dynamic mass unbalance is obt...
