Abstract :
A method is presented for calculating the probability that an old or lost track is from the same target as a newly formed track and for using that probability to decide if any old track went to a new track or is no longer being tracked. Different a priori models for maneuvers are examined to determine their importance in the decision process. Simulation results are presented
