Abstract
A rank detector is used to detect instantaneous received power fades in a tracking radar. On detection of a fade, censorship of the angular position measurement is implemented in a Kalman tracking filter. It is shown that this technique can typically give a 15% angular tracking improvement on highly dynamic targets
