Tracking a Maneuvering Target using AUV

In this paper effort is made to track a maneuvering target using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) with range, bearing and elevation measurements. Extended Kalman filter is preferred to process measurements tampered with noise. Algorithm to detect the maneuver of target is developed in this paper. This information about range, bearing and elevation is communicated to weapon guidance station by means of personal communication system between UAV and weapon guidance station. Mathematical modeling in detail and simulation results is presented.
