Tracking System for Two Asynchronously Scanning Radars

Abstract

A tracking system was designed to use detections from two asynchronously scanning radars located in close proximity. The system differs from previous single-radar tracking systems in timing, filter updating, and track initiation, and in using detections from two radars. Simulation results show that the system operating on 100 clutter points and 50 targets requires about 3.0 s using a Fortran program on a Nova 800 computer.
