Enhancement of Multiple Target Track Simulation

摘要

The Enhancement of Multiple Target Track Simulation task had as its primaryobjective the development of an integrated simulation of Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) Acquisition, Tracking, Pointing, and Fire Control (ATP-FC) functions from previously developed simulations of a subset of the individual functions which would be required for a complete end-to-end simulation of a space-based Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) platform. The functions integrated were the Target Detection, Multiple Target Tracking (MTT), and Target Sequencing functions. Additionally, the Plume-to-Hardbody Handover function was partially integrated. The task consisted of the following subtasks: (1) Incorporation of previously developed target sequencing algorithms (Nearest Neighbor and Farthest Insertion) into a previously existing MTT simulation, (2) Investigation and incorporation of an improved target detection algorithm to replace the target detection algorithm that was included with the original previously existing MTT simulation, and (3) Incorporation of previously developed Plume-to-Hardbody handover algorithms into the combined MTT and target sequencing simulation. This report summarizes the work performed in accomplishing these three subtasks.
