Nonlinear Target Identification and Tracking Using UKF

In this paper, we implemented target identification algorithm using Dempster Shafer theory (DST) and tracking algorithm using extended Kalman filter (EKF) and unscented Kalman filter (UKF). A tracking filter is developed and simulated based on UKF to track nonlinear, ballistic and reentry targets. Comparison of EKF and UKF for nonlinear targets tracking are presented based on the simulation results. Simulated results gives more supporting points to use UKF for nonlinear target tracking rather using EKF.
