Some Applications of Kalman Filtering in Advanced Land Fire Control Systems

摘要

This report describes several potential applications of filters for advanced landfire control systems. Two areas that are especially important in the moving-target / moving-platform scenario are addressed in some detail: the tracking and trajectory prediction of multiple maneuvering targets and the prediction of gun pointing angles in the instant before firing. This is particularly important in the design of a dynamic muzzle reference system. The equations for the filters are developed, simulations are described and some me data is processed through the muzzle angle prediction Filter. An architecture for a complete advanced land fire control system is proposed.
