An Estimator for an Anti-Aircraft Gun Fire Control System.

Abstract

Kalman filtering techniques using a rotated coordinate system were applied to tracking problems encountered in fire control systems. Two models of target motion were considered: a constant-velocity model and a model which assumes correlated random accelerations. Estimators derived from these models were evaluated using Monte-Carlo simulations of constant-velocity and maneuvering targets. An algorithm developed to calculate prediction accuracy data for time intervals based on an approximation of the time of flight for a 5 inch/54 Caliber projectile was used to obtain prediction accuracy statistics for evaluating estimator performance.
