Aircraft Trajectory Tracking Using Radar Equipment with Fuzzy Logic Algorithm

Abstract

Radio-electronic means, including equipment for transmissions, radio-location, broadcasting, and navigation, allow the execution of various research missions and combat forces management. Determining the target coordinates and directing the armament towards them, obtaining and processing data about enemies, ensuring the navigation of ships, planes and outer atmospheric means, transmitting orders, decisions, reports and other necessary information for the armed forces; these are only some of the possibilities of radio-electronic technology. Fuzzy logic allows the linguistic description of the laws of command, operation and control of a system. When working with complex and nonlinear systems, it can often be observed that, as their complexity increases, there is a decrease in the significance of the details in describing the global behavior of the system. Even though such an approach may seem inadequate, it is often superior and less laborious than a rigorous mathematical approach. The main argument in favor of fuzzy set theory is to excel in operating with imprecise, vague notions. This article demonstrates the superiority of a fuzzy tracking system over the standard Kalman filter tracking system under the conditions of uneven accelerations and sudden change of direction of the targets, as well as in the case of failure to observe the target during successive scans. A cascading Kalman filtering algorithm was used to solve the speed ambiguity and to reduce the measurement error in real-time radar processing. The cascade filters are extended Kalman filters with controlled gain using fuzzy logic for tracking targets using radar equipment under difficult tracking conditions.

Fuzzy Logic for Intelligent Control System Using Soft Computing Applications

“…Although each pedestrian has personal preferences, the dynamics of the movement can be shaped as a social force of the crowd. The corresponding forces can be controlled for each individual and represent a different variety of behaviors that can be associated with panic situations, such as avoiding danger, crowding, and pushing [ 38 , 39 ].…”

Developing a Solution for Mobility and Distribution Analysis Based on Bluetooth and Artificial Intelligence

“…The adjustment difference is estimable, so that a prediction with the Kalman filter would reduce this difference between the theoretical and the real curve to a minimum, the system becoming more accurate. The mathematical model of the Kalman filter and the fuzzy logic for correcting the position of a vehicle, using the positioning data with the help of landmarks are described in the models we developed in [ 28 , 29 , 30 ].…”

“…The solution provided in this paper also investigates the possibility of accuracy self-improvement, environmental mapping of fixed location detected devices, and multiple data collection along a route, if the detectors setup is installed, for example, on a public transport vehicle. The solution is based also on similar experimental results that have been previously investigated by the authors in close research activities—references [ 28 , 29 , 30 ].…”

Optimal energy management strategies for the electric vehicles compiling bibliometric maps

“…Compared to the problems and strategies raised in the previews 77 references [24–97, 100–102], critically commented by the authors in their work using tools as tables, diagrams, and figures, the actual problems and requests, identified from the reviewed literature from 2019 and 2020, evolved with the trends, and they are more specific and harder to archive.…”
