In order to meet increasing operational needs and sustain air superiority in warfare environment, military is forced to utilize advanced fighter aircraft. With the technological developments and by the application of these developments to fighter aircraft design, new generations of fighters have been developed. New generation fighters require new generation and more advanced weapon systems. In this study, it is aimed to provide an insight into design approaches to be considered to realize functions that are necessary to exist on the new generation fighter aircraft weapon systems.

Yeni Nesil Savaş Uçaklarında Silah Sistemi Tasarım Yaklaşım Yöntemleri

Öz

Artan harekât ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak ve savaş ortamında hava üstünlüğü sağlamak için farklı kabiliyet ve özelliklere sahip savaş uçaklarının kullanımına ihtiyaç duyulmuştur. Teknolojik gelişmeler ve bu gelişmelerin hava araçlarına uygulanması ile farklı özelliklere sahip savaş uçakları tasarlanmaya başlanmıştır. Tasarlanan yeni nesil savaş uçaklarının operasyon gücünü arttırmak için modern silah sistemleri ile donatılma ihtiyacı ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmada yeni nesil savaş uçağına ait silah sistemlerinde bulunması gereken fonksiyonlar ve fonksiyonların etkin bir şekilde kullanılabilmesi için dikkate alınması gereken tasarım yaklaşım yöntemleri incelenmiştir.
