Abstract :
A new set of optimal gains for α-β and α-β-γ tracking filters is introduced for highly kinematic tracks. The choices of the gains are requirement driven by the true acceleration or the "jerk motion" of the maneuvering track and the measurement error of the radar. The implementations of the maneuver-driven (MDF) α-β and α-β-γ tracking filters are straightforward with no ambiguities.<>
