Abstract :
The sensor management problem for tracking in a multiple targets and multiple sensors environment is a critical one in the case of non-cooperative targets. This problem is widely depicted in the literature. In the paper the definition and the utilization of the danger level of a target is described. An algorithm based on this danger level of the target is described in order to determine an optimal strategy for the sensor management
