The work is concerned with the development of improved target tracking strategies when measurements are available from more than one sensor. Initially the case of a single manoeuvring target and tracking using a moving and fixed sensor will be investigated. The moving sensors measurements will become more accurate as it approaches the target but so also will the penalty imposed for taking measurements. Initially it will be assumed that measurements are available at regular time instants but adaptive measurement strategies will be investigated in order to keep the tracking accuracy within certain limits whilst keeping the penalty for the moving targets measurements below a threshold. The investigations will consider several alternatives which will affect the performance, taking into account both the tracking accuracy and the relative computational requirements of different strategies. These will include the tracking algorithms to apply for the filtering of the sensor information, the strategy for taking measurements, thedependence of the fixed and moving sensor positions with respect to the moving target, and the optimum use of sensor and track information.
