ABSTRACT

Raw output from radars is often muddled by intrinsic process and measurement noise. To create an effective radar tracking system, we used linear algebra and computer science to effectively apply a Kalman filter to process raw radar data. We also applied trigonometric and other mathematical methods to implement additional features in our tracking system including collision prevention and target interception. Both our filter implementation and target tracking system proved to be more accurate and more precise than the raw input data.
