The present invention relates to the field of target tracking and more
generally to a method employing improved algorithms, which achieve
excellent tracking performance for a high-g maneuvering target. The
two-model Interacting Multiple Model algorithm and the Interacting
Acceleration Compensation algorithm will be modified by introducing
adaptive factors through the detection of the normalized innovation
squared which is chi-square probability distributed. The implementation
results show that the modified algorithms can handle the target sudden
maneuver better and are more accurate than the original algorithms.
