The theory behind the fusion of two asynchronous track updates has been derived by the authors in a previous paper. However, the result were incomplete since there was not sufficient information to actually implement the fusion theory as an algorithm. In this paper, the information necessary to implement the theory is provided. Additionally, simulated data in the form of tracks from two sensors having different update rates and communications delays is used to compare this technique to the result obtained using the standard sequential updating of a Kalman filter.
