This is the first part of a series of papers that provide a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the problems and techniques of tracking maneuvering targets in the absence of the so-called measurement-origin uncertainty. It surveys the various mathematical models of target dynamics proposed for maneuvering target tracking, including 2D and 3D maneuver models as well as coordinate-uncoupled generic models for target dynamics. This survey emphasizes the underlying ideas and assumptions of the models. Interrelationships among the models surveyed and insight to the pros and cons of the models are provided. Some material presented here has not appeared elsewhere.

This paper is the second part in a series that provides a comprehensive survey of maneuvering target tracking without addressing the so-called measurement-origin uncertainty. It surveys motion models of ballistic targets used for target tracking. Models for all three phases (i.e., boost, coast, and reentry) of motion are covered.

This is the third part of a series of papers that provide a comprehensive survey of the techniques for tracking maneuvering targets without addressing the so-called measurement-origin uncertainty. Part I [1] and Part II [2] deal with general target motion models and ballistic target motion models, respectively. This part surveys measurement models, including measurement model-based techniques, used in target tracking. Models in Cartesian, sensor measurement, their mixed, and other coordinates are covered. The stress is on more recent advances -topics that have received more attention recently are discussed in greater details.
