A digital SAL receiver implements a multiobject tracking method to detect EM pulses transmitted by a known source at a pulse repetition interval (PRI) and returned off of a target object to acquire multiple tracks. Intra and inter track temporal information is used to associate pulses with different tracks and to rank the tracks in order to designate a primary track for the target object.

Digital semi-active laser receiver tracking of multiple line-of-sight (LOS) objects

Methods and apparatus for processing data from multiple sources according to various aspects of the present invention include a sensing system for determining target information. The sensing system includes sensors to generate target information and local trackers to receive the target information from the sensors. The local trackers may generate local target data for the target, and a combiner connected to the local trackers may use the local target data to generate global data for the target.
