Abstract

Integrated Test Range (ITR) handles various types of multiple-target flight trials. To facilitate target tracking and estimation in such multi-target scenario, nearest neighbourhood (NN) technique-based data association algorithm has been adopted at ITR. The present paper discusses the NN-based data association algorithm and its performance in a real flight trial situation by using multiple-target track data from a multi-target tracking radar.
