Development and Testing of Next Generation AWACS SF Processing

Abstract

The development history system capability and testing of the Lockheed Martin Tracking and Sensor Fusion system is described. The system has been selected for the AWACS platform and is currently in the final stages of flight qualification. The basic algorithm utilized is an extension of the classic MHT algorithm. In addition to the n-dimensional assignment processing used to select optimal solutions for the developed set of hypotheses the program incorporates a full set of features to address the needs of hard real time scheduling and open system methodologies that facilitate addition of extension processes.
