Abstract
Methods of associating a first target track and one of a group of target tracks measured by a radar system, in which the first target track is compared with each of the target tracks in the group of target tracks based on movement between two selected target positions, one in each of the two target tracks. Predetermined maximum numbers of changes in target parameters such as course and speed are assumed to have been able to take place during the movement, and a target parameter for the two positions is allowed to vary while other target parameters are kept constant. A possible range for the varying parameter is determined that is consistent with movement between the two positions, and if a measured value of the varying parameter lies within the range, target tracks are associated with each other.
