Savunma sistemlerinde dönen platformlar için bir matematiksel model

Simulation and modeling have recently become invaluable, especially in the development of military strategies, due to their low cost, non-hazardous testing and training environments. For example, a high-accuracy and high-performance mathematical model is needed to model the movements of warplanes, combat vehicles and radar antennas in three-dimensional space. In this thesis, a mathematical model has been created separately with the Euler Angles-Rotation Matrices (EARM) and Quaternions approaches, which are employed in many different fields in the literature, to analyze the movements of military-purpose platforms that can rotate in three-dimensional space. These models are applied to 2 different electronic warfare systems. In the first application, radar antennas with different types of scanning capabilities are placed on a maneuvering warplane and the radar signals transmitted from the antennas are received by a platform and their rotational movements are analyzed. In the second application, the ballistic movement of a bullet fired from the turret system on a ground combat vehicle is investigated. The observed results prove the accuracy of the developed quaternion-based mathematical model and its suitability for a real-time application.
