VIDEO TRACKING EXPERIMENTATION

Abstract

A test program was conducted on a breadboard Cartesian coordinate radar track-while-scan system to establish methods and means for measuring the pertinent characteristics of video tracking equipment. The breadboard tracking equipment from the U. S. Air Force Radar Approach Control II program was installed at the NationalAviation Facilities Experimental Center. Various methods applicable to future technical evaluation programs on similar tracking systems were investigated. Tests were conducted to determine tracking accuracy as a function of target velocity and radial acceleration, the effects of tracking gate size on tracking performance, tracking limitations imposed by the presence of random noise, and a variety of other tracking functions.
