Survey of maneuvering target tracking: dynamic models

This is the first part of a series of papers that provide a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the problems and techniques of tracking maneuvering targets in the absence of the so-called measurement-origin uncertainty. It surveys the various mathematical models of target dynamics proposed for maneuvering target tracking, including 2D and 3D maneuver models as well as coordinate-uncoupled generic models for target dynamics. This survey emphasizes the underlying ideas and assumptions of the models. Interrelationships among the models surveyed and insight to the pros and cons of the models are provided. Some material presented here has not appeared elsewhere.
