This paper introduces an asynchronous multiple radar fusion algorithm for space object tracking. To estimate orbital motion of space object, a multiple radar scenario which jointly measures single object with different sampling time indices is described. STK/ODTK is utilized to determine realization of orbital motion and joint coverage of multiple radars. Then, asynchronous fusion algorithm is adapted to enhance the estimation performance of orbital motion during which multiple radars measure the same time instances. Monte-Carlo simulation results demonstrate that the proposed asynchronous multi-sensor fusion scheme better than single linearized Kalman filter in an aspect of root mean square error.

본 논문은 추적레이더의 추적 오차를 예측하기위한 레이더 시뮬레이터 개발에 관한 것이다. 본 연구에서는 다중경로 전파특성, 표적 모델링, RPY 보상, DTM 지형데이터 등을 이용한 전파의 전파특성 분석을 통한 표적추적레이더의 추적 오차 요인을 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 추적 오차를 줄이기 위해 추적 레이더의 서보 특성과 서보 구동의 지연보상을 위한 $\alpha-\beta$ 필터를 사용하였다. 표적 추적레이더의 추적 상황을 종합적으로 고려하여 추적 상황을 정확히 예측할 수 있는 시뮬레이터를 구현 하였다.

As a sub-system of an air traffic control system, SDP(Surveillance Data Processor) provides with the system tracks of aircraft using the surveillance sensor data from various air traffic surveillance sensors, such as radars. Therefore, the high accuracy of tracking results is a crucial requirement for safe flights, and verification of the required system performance of SDP is an essential step in development. Moreover, the quantitative evaluation of target tracking accuracy is important for newly developed SDP, since there are several tracking methods for Multi-Sensor Multi-Target Tracking, such as MRT(Multi Radar Tracking), inevitably required as the main function of SDP. In this study, definition of required system performances, establishment of test environment, and test results for MRT performance evaluation of SDP, which is being developed in KARI(Korea Airspace Research Institute) are presented.

In the multi-sensor system, sensor registration errors such as a sensor bias must be corrected so that the individual sensor data are expressed in a common reference frame. If registration process is not properly executed, large tracking errors or formation of multiple track on the same target can be occured. Especially for launch vehicle tracking system, each multiple observation lies on the same reference frame and then fused trajectory can be the best track for slaving data. Hence, this paper describes an on-line bias estimation/correction and asynchronous sensor fusion for launch vehicle tracking. The bias estimation architecture is designed based on pseudo bias measurement which derived from error observation between GPS and radar measurements. Then, asynchronous sensor fusion is adapted to enhance tracking performance.

Measurement noise variance of the radar is one of the main inputs of a state estimator of surveillance data processing system for air traffic control and has influences on the accuracy performance of maneuvering target tracking. A method is presented of estimating measurement noise variances every frame of target tracking using likelihood functions of multiple IMM filter. The results by running of Monte Carlo simulation show that variances are estimated within 5% of errors compared with true values and the tracking accuracy performance is improved.

Data Fusion algorithm is essential in Target Detection using radar, and it has more reliability. In this paper, Multi Radar Fusion algorithm using IMM(Interacting Multiple Model) filter is suggested. This well-known IMM filter has better performance than Kalman filter has. In this simulation, Distributed Data Fusion process was applied, and three sub-filters and one main filter were employed. In addition, this simulation was evaluated by virtual radar data which include constant velocity, constant accelerate, turn rate. The result of an evaluation shows better performance in the maneuvering section of aircraft.

This paper describes the radar tracking errors due to the presence of surface reflected waves. We investigate the previous studies on tracking errors and developed a tracking error estimation program using Matlab. We suggest an accurate error prediction method by considering the antenna beamwidth and surface reflection coefficient. The presented results well agree with theoretical predictions.

RF skin tracking of instrumentation RADAR cannot acquire stable track data, because of effect of multipath interference especially elevation direction. In this paper, low altitude target tracking method using laser tracking system is suggested to overcome this restriction. The effect of multipath can be reduced by increasing angle resolution with laser characteristics of very short pulse and narrow beamwidth. RF skin track, beacon track and laser track data for the integrated calibration target on the ground and target ship on the sea are gathered. And they are compared and analyzed to confirm the performance of laser tracking system. As a result, it shows that the suggested laser track method has better performance than RF skin track under multipath conditions.
