radio frequencies which require a significantly increased pointing-accuracy. Accordingly, an accurate_x000D_
prediction of the antenna's structural dynamic response to field operating conditions with particular emphasis_x000D_
on aerodynamic loads and gust turbulence is of great importance to the antenna's structural and systems design._x000D_
This information is also essential for the development of a robust control system capable of achieving design_x000D_
requirement with sustainable pointing-accuracy._x000D_
Research is required to develop a high fidelity dynamic aeroelastic model of a large high precision ground_x000D_
antenna that is being developed by our industrial partner. The dynamic aeroelastic model will be used to_x000D_
conduct an extensive dynamic aeroelastic response analysis of the antenna to determine its structural dynamic_x000D_
characteristics, systems interface response as well as corresponding transient pointing-accuracy under severe_x000D_
environmental conditions. The developed dynamic aeroelastic model will then be integrated into a multiscale_x000D_
topology design optimization framework to maximize the pointing-accuracy and minimizing weight of the_x000D_
antenna. It is expected that the outcome of this research will reduce transient operational limits of the antenna_x000D_
