A Comparison of Recursive Style Angle-Only Target Motion Analysis Algorithms

Abstract

This report presents a comparison of existing angle-only target motion analysis algorithms which have applications in tracking under jamming conditions. Though a number of different algorithms have been proposed for this problem, the particular emphasis in this report is recursive style algorithms which are more suited to airborne applications. In particular, six algorithms are considered, which are derivatives of either the standard or the extended Kalman filter. Four of these algorithms are single-filter trackers while the other two are based on weighted sum of multiple filter outputs. Simulation results are presented to verify the claimed properties of these algorithms.
