Doppler-bearing Passive Target Tracking Using a Parameterized Unscented Kalman Filter

Pages 69-75 | Published online: 01 Sep 2014
 

Abstract

Target motion analysis (TMA) using conventional passive bearing together with frequency measurements is explored. This approach offers one tactical advantage over the classical bearings-only TMA. It makes the ownship maneuver superfluous. In this paper, TMA is carried out using an unscented Kalman filter (UKF). The inclusion of range, course, and speed parameterization is proposed in the UKF target state vector to obtain the convergence of the solution fast. Finally the results of one scenario in Monte-Carlo simulation are presented.
