Abstract

This paper describes the remote tracking algorithm using measurements (azimuth, elevation, and slant range) of the radar ground station. Kalman filter model for noise reduction of the measured information is first derived by linearizing with respect to angle, angular rate, range, and range rate. And then a tracking algorithm is introduced to calculate the position of the vehicle during in-flight. The simulation results show that the algorithm is practical and effective enough tracking position of the vehicle in considerably less error.
