A New Target Tracking Algorithm for Synchronous Radar Network under Blanket Jamming

Abstract:

In order to improve the tracking accuracy of the synchronous radar network under blanket jamming with less computation, a new target tracking algorithm based on the optimal linearization is proposed. Firstly, the optimal linearization algorithm for the measurement equation is analyzed. Then the optimal estimation of the position is derived in 2D space according to the bearing angle measurements, and then the estimation is expanded to 3D space in accordance with the pitch angle measurements. Finally, the tracking algorithm for the moving target is presented and simulation testing is conducted. The simulation results show the tracking algorithm without iteration proposed by this paper can make it possible for the radar network under blanket jamming to track the target precisely.
