Abstract
A target tracking device to estimate a position of a target with high accuracy will be provided. The target tracking device is provided with a communication device and a processor. The communication device performs communication with a plurality of observation satellites that observe the target. The processor executes a selection of satellites, a setting of a schedule and an estimation. The selection of satellites includes selecting two or more selected satellites that observes the target among the plurality of observation satellites. The setting of the schedule includes determining an observation schedule for each of the two or more selected satellite to observe the target and transmitting an observation request signal that represents the determined observation schedule to a corresponding selected satellite. The estimation includes estimating the position of the target based on two or more pieces of high-precision observation information respectively observed by the two or more selected satellites.
