Moving Target Location Errors for Ground Vehicles
Julian A. Chernick · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1980
This report documents AMSAA's current methodology and data base for estimating the target location errors associated with moving ground vehicles. Starting from basic principles, the equations for the heading and cross-heading components of the moving target location error are derived. Reviewing the available data provides estimates for the parameters of the problem. The speed variability error component is found to increase with the mean target speed while the direction errors are found to decrease as the mean speed increases. The target location error, and its two orthogonal components, show a nearly linear increase with prediction time.
