An improved single-point track initiation using GMTI measurements
Abstract
A ground moving target indicator (GMTI) radar measures range, azimuth, and Doppler or range-rate of a target. The range-rate measurement, which is the key measurement of a GMTI radar, is used to differentiate a ground moving target from clutter when the radial velocity of the target exceeds the minimum detectable velocity (MDV). The range and azimuth measurements provide an accurate estimate of the target position. A number of track initiation …
