Multi-Sensor-Integration Concept for Airborne Surveillance Applications

Abstract

Modem airboine surveillance systems have to cope with an immense number of inputs from real wanted and unwanted ground, maritime and/or airborne targets as well as correlated clutter. This causes significant challenges for tracking, classification, and identification of the detected objects. A state of the art multi- sensor integration (MSI) system calls for real-time integration of all available infoimation pertaining to a real world object, in particular, geometric, kinematic, and signature data. The MSI system provide by DaimlerChrysler Aerospace yields improved tracking quality and perfoims automatic identification of targets.
