ABSTRACT
In this chapter, three‐dimensional tracking filters are discussed for estimating the position, velocity, and also acceleration of an aircraft when the range r, bearing θ, and elevation ϕ of the target are measured at uniform sampling intervals of time T seconds through random noise by a three‐dimensional radar sensor. The tracking operation is assumed to be performed in the cartesian coordinate system. The coupling between the quantities measured by the radar (r, θ , φ ) $ \theta , \varphi ) $ https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315214887/d0a76d79-730e-4ec2-9854-c19f3ef596cb/content/inline-math4_1.tif"/> and the cartesian coordinate system selected for tracking operation is explicitly considered in the development of the three dimensional models.
