Design of an interacting multiple model algorithm for air traffic control tracking

The design of a tracking algorithm based on the interacting multiple model (IMM) configuration for a generic air traffic control tracking problem is presented. Significant noise reduction is achieved during the uniform motion while maintaining the accuracy of the state estimates better than the unfiltered raw radar measurements (the 'plots') during the maneuver. A rapid detection of the maneuver is also obtained.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
