Abstract
The alpha-beta Target Tracking (ABTT) approach to the Benchmark Tracking Problem for beam steering of an array radar system with highly maneuvering targets is considered. Since ABTTs are widely used in practical radar systems, this investigation/design considers the implementation problems such practical trackers experience, including the various benchmark radar/target cases that introduce rate variations, track lags and noise characteristics. One objective of the ABTT approach is to develop fundamental alpha-beta 'rules-of-thumb' and outline countermeasures to variations in track rate, maneuvers, measurement noise and system changes. The overall tracking performance of the alpha-beta approach will be inferior to other design techniques, such as extended Kalman Filtering, fault detection and multiple model; however, the simplicity and computational savings of the ABTT are engineering advantages.
