Variable Target Model Filtering for Use with Angle Target Tracking Applications
Abstract
A variable target model filter is investigated for use with angle target tracking applications. In the absence of a target maneuver, a quiescent target model is used for the tracking filter. In the presence of a target maneuver, the target model is shifted to a maneuvering model. The basis for using a quiescent target model in conjunction with a maneuvering target model is that accurate tracking performance can be obtained for both maneuvering and non-maneuvering situations as opposed to settling for an undesirable compromise. Simulation results indicate that the variable target model filter used for this work is capable of providing best case miss distance/tracking performance for both maneuvering and non-maneuvering target conditions.
