  • Abstract
    The evolution of the SSR mode S system makes it possible to receive airborne measurements at the ground station. The possibility of using data-linked heading measurements to assist present trackers to track maneuvering aircraft is investigated. The quality to be expected from heading measurements is investigated from available on-board recordings. Maneuver detection and false measurement rejection schemes are developed, and finally suitable maneuver tracking filters are constructed and evaluated.
