A Computer Program for Double Sweep Optimal Smoothing.
Abstract
This report documents the double sweep smoothing program used at AMSAA to determine an aircraft's position, velocity, and acceleration from radar tracking data. It includes a tutorial guide to the underlying mathematics. A quadratic programming problem with linear constraints is formulated, reduced to a system of difference equations with initial and endpoint boundary conditions, and solved using Bryson's double sweep method. The iterative solution is programmed in simple, machine independent FORTRAN with top down structured programming. A listing is supplied and card decks are available.
