Data-Reduction Techniques for Multiple-Platform Radar Integration.

Abstract

A means of sending only the best raw detections from radars to update a track is considered. A specific error-filtering concept and method of implementation are introduced. The method depends on comparing the last three raw detections with the current raw detection under test to determine if it will significantly aid the track. In addition the method does not require any additional information be sent over the channel for its implementation. Finally, track updating using range and range rate from at least three noncolocated radars is considered. This method would require little information to be transmitted on the channel, but it is useful only when certain criteria are met. Combinations of both methods may provide the best solution.
