| Description | This research investigated the algorithms needed to develop a tracking system which can track multiple targets using distributed sensing systems. Such problems are common in military, surveillance and security applications. The work explored mathematical issues associated with how to represent the situation in which the numbers and targets are not known. It developed proofs for methods developed and implementations of them. |
| Exploitation Route | The work forms a building block for other algorithms and techiques. It has already been used, for example, in the development of a distributed system for space situation awareness (which tracks debris in orbit around the Earth for safety). |
| Sectors | Aerospace, Defence and Marine,Digital/Communication/Information Technologies (including Software) |
| Description | The findings of the work were used by BAE Systems, as part of a Centre for Defence Enterprise-funded project, to develop a prototype system for combining radar and camera measurements for tracking small targets in ocean clutter. |
