摘要

To estimate the position of an underwater target without revealing one’s own asset, passive target tracking technology, known as target motion analysis (TMA), is essential. This paper proposes a three-dimensional TMA algorithm based on conic angle measurements obtained from a linear array sensor. The proposed algorithm linearizes nonlinear conic angle measurements into sets of Gaussian mixture measurement components and updates the estimated target state accordingly. Additionally, it estimates the target’s probability density function as a mixture of multiple Gaussian distributions under different hypotheses and combines them to generate the tracking result. The tracking performance of the proposed algorithm is validated through Monte Carlo simulations.
