BLOCKCHAIN-BASED INTELLIGENT AIR AMMUNITION LOGISTICS TRACKING SYSTEM

Öz

Blockchain has proven to be the technology of the future in the current decade, powered by a business volume of fifty million dollars. This technology, which was first famous for cryptocurrencies, has been used in many areas from the financial sector to logistics management thanks to its architectural superiority. It is possible to use blockchain technology in the logistics management of Air Force intelligent weapon systems where strong, secure, auditable and later demonstrable records are needed. In this study, a model is designed in which logistic records of weapon systems can be created and tracked using blockchain technology. A smart agreement is written in accordance with the model. A blockchain transaction that can be performed on the blockchain is sampled using the HyperLedger Fabric framework. As a result, an evaluation has been made regarding the usability of this model in other military logistics tracking applications. Besides, some inferences have been made about how the subject can be improved in future studies.

BLOKZİNCİRİ TABANLI AKILLI HAVA MÜHİMMATI LOJİSTİK TAKİP SİSTEMİ

Öz

Blokzinciri, elli milyon dolarlık iş hacminin verdiği güçle, içinde bulunduğumuz on yılda geleceğin teknolojisi olduğunu kanıtlamıştır. İlk olarak kripto paralarla ünlenen bu teknoloji, mimari üstünlüğü sayesinde finans sektöründen lojistik yönetimine kadar pek çok alanda kullanım imkânı bulmuştur. Blokzinciri teknolojisinin kuvvetli, güvenli, denetlenebilir ve daha sonra kanıtlanabilir kayıtlara büyük ihtiyaç duyulan Hava Kuvvetleri akıllı silah sistemlerinin lojistik yönetiminde kullanılması mümkündür. Bu çalışmada blokzinciri teknolojisi kullanılarak silah sistemlerinin lojistik kayıtlarının oluşturulabileceği ve takip edilebileceği bir model tasarlanmıştır. Modele uygun olarak akıllı bir blokzinciri anlaşması yazılmıştır. Blokzincirinde gerçekleştirilebilecek bir gönderme HyperLedger Fabric çerçevesi kullanılarak örneklenmiştir. Sonuç olarak bu modelin diğer askeri lojistik takip uygulamalarında kullanılabilirliği ile ilgili bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Ayrıca ileride yapılabilecek çalışmalarda konunun nasıl geliştirilebileceği ile ilgili bazı çıkarımlarda bulunulmuştur.
