Verification of multiple model neural tracking filter with ship's radar

The paper presents the research focused on verification of multiple model neural filter in real environment. The filter is a result of the works in the research project and is implemented as a software application. The application is then connected to real radar making the off-line verification possible. The filter was checked against IMO requirements and was compared to other commercially used filters. Estimation errors and delay was the basis for the verification. Achieved results show that proposed solution might be an interesting alternative for numerical filters.
