Foundations of an Executive-Driven MLE Tracker.

Abstract

This report advocates an approach to target motion analysis (TMA) which consists of a package of resident tracking routines operated by an executive driver. It is maintained that separating the global decisions from the software which solves (locally) the nonlinear minimization problem associated with TMA fosters a much more robust tracker. The motivations for such an approach are discussed through examples, and the structure of an executive-driven tracker which was implemented at the Naval Ocean Systems Center is presented in detail.
