Joint tracking and classification based on aerodynamic model and radar cross section

作者：

Highlights：

• The real aerodynamic model of the airplane is used as target motion model.

• RCS is included in the measurement vector and it provides main classification feature.

• FEKO is used to real-time simulate RCS data, so complicated calculation is avoided.

• IMMRPF is implemented to jointly track and classify targets, and results are superior.
