We present an algorithm that allows an interceptor aircraft equipped with an airborne radar to meet another air target (the intercepted) by developing a guidance law and automatically adapting and optimising the transmitted waveform on a pulse to pulse basis. The algorithm uses a Kalman filter to predict the relative position and speed of the interceptor with respect to the target. The transmitted...
This work deals with the analysis of a multisensor radar system in the context of maritime border control scenario. The system is composed by a receiver that exploits the signal emitted by two non co-operative transmitters of opportunity: a UMTS base station and a FM radio station. An algorithm for selecting the transmitter for the tracking of a radar target is proposed. This algorithm can provide...
This work deals with the Sequential Cramér-Rao Lower Bound (SCRLB) for sequential target state estimators for a bistatic tracking problem. In the context of tracking, the SCRLB provides a powerful tool, enabling one to determine a lower bound on the optimal achievable accuracy of target state estimation. The bistatic SCRLBs are analyzed and compared to the monostatic counterparts for a fixed target...
Radar tracking of a projectile flying in the Earth's atmosphere is a very complex issue to cope with, due to the need of (suboptimal) nonlinear filtering techniques. Almost all cases found in literature assume that the target trajectory is observable from the firing point to the impact point on the ground, namely the trajectory observation gets under way from the first available measurement. The radar...
