Abstract :
This paper deals with tracking of convoys by airborne radar. In [1, 2] a technique was presented to estimate the lateral length component of a convoy. In combination with the conventional range measurement, the full length information can be obtained in case of a linear convoy. The BAYES tracking algorithm presented in [1], which incorporates the length information, is now extended to multiple targets and also handles Doppler measurements. Here we present first numerical results.
