Abstract :
In a multitarget underwater passive sonar context, it is useful to associate bearing tracks that have issued from different arrays. This permits target motion analysis (TMA) to be performed using bearing measurements on two arrays. The TMA algorithms used are briefly discussed, and their performance is given. A track-to-track association test is presented, and its performance is given. Ambiguities in association problems are also considered
