            Abstract : 
This paper addresses the multisensor track-to-track correlation and fusion problem in a surveillance environment. In particular, this paper considers a general approach to the development of a master track file based on track data from a co-located passive and an active sensor. Sensor report-to-track correlation and fusion algorithms are discussed.
