Passive location of a group of moving targets with one stationary bearing with prior information

Abstract

For a single stationary bearing, we develop a method for generalized identification of a group of moving emitting targets for which we know a priori the possible endpoints of their routes. The method includes estimating the parameters of polynomial models of motion based on pseudomeasurements, coordinates of the route’s endpoint for every target, and also the time when it reaches that point. We find the applicability conditions for our approach and propose a step by step generalized identification algorithm. We show the results of a numerical experiment.
