This state-of-the-art text is based on the study of a sophisticated radar tracking system, the Altair radar, which uses Kalman filtering to perform optimal long-range tracking of ballistic missile warheads. This engineering example provides a means for explaining Kalman filter theory in a relatively simple manner, as well as many other technical issues that are critical to the design of a modern optimal radar tracking system. Discussions start at an elementary level, and develop the concepts in a concrete manner. Although this book deals directly with radar tracking technology, the basic principles apply to any target-tracking system.
