The formation tracking procedure for tracking in dense target environment
Abstract
The strategy of formation tracking presented is characterized by the substitution of raid tracks for single target tracks. The raid tracks are correlated and updated by plot-clusters. The formation track consists of one central track and several marginal tracks containing the whole information about the mean cinematical behavior and the spatial extension of the tracked formation. Special investigations were directed to the following problems: formation track initiation, formation track evolution, decision and control procedures with regard to formation track splitting, and formation track junction. The efficiency of formation tracking can be demonstrated by a few one dimensional examples of appropriate airspace situations.
