            Abstract : 
In this letter, we provide a robust version of a linear Kalman filter for target tracking based on a measurement conversion technique on the nonlinear radar measurements. We prove that the state estimation error is bounded in a probabilistic sense. We compare our approach with the current state of the art in converted radar measurement-based linear filtering.
