Synthesis of automatic pilot demonstrator anti-aircraft missiles

New criterion for aircraft susceptibility to infrared guided missiles

This paper assesses aircraft susceptibility from the first principles, with respect to the threat posed by passively guided infrared homing missiles; with an objective of gaining insight into the comprehensiveness of the relationship between aircraft susceptibility and aircraft infrared signature level. The conventional criterion of aircraft susceptibility assessment based on its lock-on envelo...

A Demonstrator for Automatic Music Mood Estimation

Interest in automatic music mood classification is increasing because it could enable people to browse and manage their music collections by means of the music’s emotional expression complementary to the widely used music genres. We continue our work on designing a well defined ground-truth database for music mood classification and show a demonstrator of automatic mood estimation. While a subj...

Automatic Aircraft Target Recognition

This work proposes a new automatic target classifier, based on a combined neural networks’ system, by ISAR image processing. The novelty introduced in our work is twofold. We first present a novel automatic classification procedure, and then we discuss an improved multimedia processing of ISAR images for automatic object detection. The classifier, composed by a combination of 20 feed-forward ar...

Computer-Aided Synthesis of Nonlinear Autopilots for Missiles

Powerful nonlinear approaches for missile autopilot design have recently emerged in the literature, which have the potential to deliver improved missile performance. However, the lack of computational methods has made it difficult for the practicing engineers to exploit these techniques in routine applications. Another factor that has slowed their application is that the missile models are gene...
