Efficient centralized track initiation method for multistatic radar

An efficient centralized track initiation method for multistatic radar system is proposed in this paper. The method mainly consists of a same source association technique and a measurement fusion approach. The main advantage of the new method is its good performance of dealing with large measuring deviation and high false alarm rate environment, when compared with other existing track initiation methods. And this is verified by the Monte Carlo simulations.
