<p>Coordinated target tracking and its augmented variant represent significant challenges in modern surveillance. These tasks are essential for accurately localizing and predicting the movement of dynamic targets. This article introduces an advanced particle filter algorithm with a packet dropout mechanism to enhance tracking accuracy. Additionally, it proposes three meta-heuristic-driven particle filters: the Particle Filter integrated with the Chaotic Gravitational Search Algorithm (PF-CGSA), the Particle Filter integrated with the Improved Grey Wolf Optimizer (PF-IGWO), and the Particle Filter integrated with the Imperialist Competitive Algorithm with Regional Domination Policy (PF-ICARD). These methods are tested using three sophisticated models: the Coordinated Turn Target Tracking Model (CT model), the Augmented Coordinated Turn Target Tracking Model with Cartesian Velocity (ACT1 model), and the Augmented Coordinated Turn Target Tracking Model with Polar Velocity (ACT2 model). Experimental results demonstrate that PF-CGSA, PF-IGWO, and PF-ICARD achieve higher convergence speeds and accuracy. They also effectively mitigate premature convergence phenomena. Comparative analysis based on Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) metrics underscores their superiority in real-world target tracking challenges, highlighting the potential of these advanced particle filtering techniques in enhancing precision and efficiency in target tracking. Particularly, PF-ICARD achieves the highest accuracy, reducing RMSE by up to 18.64% compared to PF-CGSA and PF-IGWO, making it ideal for high-precision applications. PF-CGSA excels in specific scenarios, notably improving X-coordinate tracking in the ACT2 model by up to 11.39%. Meanwhile, PF-IGWO offers a balanced solution with moderate accuracy and enhanced computational efficiency, suitable for real-time applications.</p>
