Fusion of Radar Data: A Modeling and Simulation Approach

Authors

Abstract

Target tracking plays a major role in traffic management and defense applications. While tracking algorithms can be tested with real data, this situation is often not possible due to the high costs evolved in real experiments and to the impracticability of some unsafe scenarios. To overcome the limitation of accessing algorithm efficiency with real data we describe a modeling environment based on the Heterogeneous Flow Systems Specification methodology (HFSS) that can be used to simulate radar detection. The HFSS formalism can describe multiple radars and multiple targets. To illustrate our approach we test a scenario with two radars and one target.
