Definitions

  • Tracking method associating a passive radar with other sensors
  • the invention relates to the general field of radar tracking and the fusion of the detection information produced by several sensors of different natures. It concerns in particular the improvement of the tracking capabilities of a passive radar (RP) through the use of tracking information from external sensors (active radars for example).
  • RP passive radar
  • Multi-radar or more generally multi-sensor data fusion strategies rely on a fusion of the detection information developed by each sensor, in a Cartesian coordinate system common to all of these sensors. In principle, these strategies do not take into account the bistatic nature of the measurements provided when one of these sensors is a passive radar. They therefore correspond to sub-optimum melting solutions for this type of sensor.
  • the fusion of the information delivered by different sensors can be achieved either at the level of the elementary detections (merging of pads), or at the level of the tracking (fusion of tracks). It is known that the first of these strategies is the one that ensures the best performance at the cost of greater complexity than the second. Moreover, since for a passive radar system to be able to deliver consistent Cartesian tracks (that is, sufficiently relevant to be able to be merged with data from other sensors), it is necessary that the detected targets are simultaneously on many of the bistatic bases that constitute its configuration (ideally at least three bases), a track fusion type approach may be penalizing.

  • second tracking means for producing, for each bistatic base, bistatic tracks of different types by time chaining of merged blocks, a bistatic track being assigned a set of attributes determined by the nature of the last merged pad dated who has been associated with him; the merged pads used to form a bistatic track being assigned an attribute indicating that they have been used for this purpose.
  • Cartesian tracking means for developing, for all the bistatic bases formed from the same receiver, RP or RP + SE Cartesian tracks, and Cartesian tracks SE, these Cartesian tracks being produced from the merged blocks.
