Tracking procedures for FUCAS
Abstract
Tracking procedures and the observation interval adaption algorithm of FUCAS, a phased array radar system, are described. The antenna pattern has an electronically steerable pencil beam. The antenna movements are not inertia limited. The FUCAS performs high quality tracking for more than one target, or combines search and track. Energy allocation is done seperately for several tasks, range accuracy of 3 m. The observation interval adaption algorithm keeps tracking errors constant. A change in acceleration interval is compensated by a change in the observation interval.
