Tracking of multiple ground moving targets with adaptive monopulse radar - part II: the tracker

For analysing dynamic scenarios with multiple ground moving vehicles, airborne GMTI radar is a well-suited sensor due to its wide area, all-weather, day/night, and real time capabilities (GMTI: ground moving target indication). The production of GMTI tracks from GMTI data is essential for producing a "recognised ground picture" as well as for analysing traffic flows. This contribution is the second out of two twin papers on ground target tracking. In part I the properties of the radar sensor used and a scenario with two crossing vehicles are discussed. In part II we describe aspects of the tracking algorithm used and present selected numerical results related to an improved sensor modelling aspects.
