Abstract:

Data fusion processing technology is the core of netted radars. Taking the air-defense radar network as the reference, this paper builds a component-based and reconfigurable data fusion algorithm library. With the component design method, the process of data fusion is divided into different components, such as data validity check, error match, time-space match, plot association, plot fusion, track initiation, track filtering, track association, track fusion, and track management. Each component involves different algorithms with a unified external interface, and algorithms can be chosen by parameter setting to meet different fusion requirements. Then, the complete processing template forplot fusion and track fusion is designed by the assembly of components, which facilitates the application in different scenarios. The simulation results validate the feasibility and adaptability of the proposed component design method.
