  • Abstract
    In this contribution the authors continue their work on convoy tracking supported by estimating the lateral width of the convoy. New results on the impact of the array size and the data sample size are presented. It is shown that the ML estimator is the most suitable tool for estimating the apparent target length. In a companion paper the tracking performance is analysed.
