Abstract
The problem of tracking N targets with correlation in both measurement and maneuver statistics is solved by transforming to a coordinate frame in which the N targets are decoupled. For the case of N identical targets, the decoupling is shown to coincide with a transformation to a set of nested center-of-mass coordinates. Absolute and differential tracking accuracies are compared with suboptimal results to show the improvement that is achieved by properly exploiting the correlation between targets
