Preface
In many modern tracking applications, target detection and placement are performed to support some specific decision or action. Estimates of target position and motion will be used for some command purpose, perhaps beginning with determining target intent and then selecting an appropriate course of action like intercepting or otherwise countering the target. The challenge is to construct an architecture that uses noisy data sequences of indicated location not only to derive estimated position, velocity, and attitude of the target but also to provide the information required to support effective command functions. This book focuses on command architectures—estimation and information structures that can effectively inform useful command decisions. The target engagements we have in view almost always demand that a command architecture function in real time. Frequently, there are strict limits on the interrogation and countermeasure resources expended. Command architectures considerably expand the character and complexity of target trackers, whether relatively simple, like alpha-beta algorithms, or more sophist
