Abstract
A tracking algorithm is proposed which adaptively varies the target-track update rate to maintain constant tracker validation region size during target non-manoeuvre and manoeuvre phases; the validation region size being closely linked to tracker performance in clutter. Computer simulations are performed for a target performing various manoeuvres, demonstrating the ability of the algorithm to maintain constant validation region size
