Comparison of extended and unscented Kalman smoother in deriving kinematic characteristics of a high maneuver flying target

Abstract

This paper addresses the application of the non real-time estimators, extended Kalman smoother and the two recently developed unscented Kalman smoother algorithms in deriving kinematic characteristics of a high maneuver flying target which is tracked with two passive sensors. Also the performance of these algorithms is compared over Monte Carlo simulations.
