Preliminary Design Review: Kinematic Tracking for the PCA Integrated Radar-Tracker Application

Abstract

A kinematic tracker is a classical tracking system. The idea behind kinematic tracking is to store positions and velocities and then, using this information, associate incoming targets with the stored profiles. Using these new targets, the tracker updates its information about positions and velocities to prepare to do the entire process again when it is given the next set of targets.
