This paper is a continuation of two previous papers presented at past Signal and Data Processing of Small Target conferences held in 1997 and 1999. The 1997 paper , title Combined Kalman Filter and JVC Algorithms for AEW Target Tracking Applications, described AEW advanced tracking algorithm development and provided performance results for straight line targets. In the 1999 paper, Maneuver Tracking Algorithms for AEW Target Tracking Applications, modifications to the tracking and association algorithms necessary to track the remaining 100 maneuvering targets of the 120 target scenario were presented. The maneuvering targets include zig-zag, wave, ovals and racetrack trajectories.
