Despite the many advantages of the design optimization technique, this method is costly for real engineering problems. This cost will increase sharply for issues with a multidisciplinary and uncertain nature and more than one objective function. In this paper, the metamodel concept has been used to overcome this problem. Because of the ability of neural networks to approximate the behavior of complex engineering systems, this tool has been used to create a surrogate model. Because multidisciplinary design optimization and robust design optimization methods have been used in this study and according to the high cost of the multidisciplinary analysis module, a surrogate model of this module has been made to reduce the imposed costs. To show the capability of the considered approach, robust multidisciplinary design optimization of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been done. Take-off weight and cruise drag are the considered objective functions in this study, and the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-I) has been used for minimization of them. The optimization results show that the use of the metamodeling concept has reduced computational costs by 94.1%.
