Abstract

The problem of radar tracking a civilian maneuvering aircraft utilizing on board available measurements of the aircraft roll angle is addressed. Two algorithms belonging to the family of adaptive multimodel partitioning algorithms are designed for this problem and evaluated via simulation experiments with regards to their performance. It is found that these algorithms perform very well in tracking a maneuvering aircraft, and, naturally, far better than previously reported non-adaptive algorithms
