A new algorithm for GMTI tracking problems, subject to a Doppler blind zone constraint
J. M. C. Clark, P.A. Kountouriotis, Richard Vinter · 2008
This paper introduces a new methodology to take account of the Doppler blind zone arising, for example, in GMTI tracking. Here, the measurements are suppressed, when the range-rate of the target drops below a specified threshold. Algorithms based on the new methodology are easy to implement, robust to choice of initial distributions and computationally efficient. Simulations have been conducted for a number of scenarios featuring in earlier comparative exercises. The new techniques exhibit a uniform improvement in estimation accuracy, as compared with earlier proposed approximate analytic techniques.
