Joint Adaptive Detection - Estimation Algorithm for Maneuvering Target Tracking

An adaptive maneuvering target tracking algorithm based on dynamic system model which incorporates both random and deterministic character of maneuver is presented. Such a model enables to work out relatively simple recursive adaptive input estimation (IE) algorithm with analytic threshold level calculation. The simulation results of the algorithm implementation are presented. The comparative analysis has revealed better performance characteristics of the proposed algorithm in comparison with the interactive multiple model (IMM) approach.
