摘要:The airborne bearing-only passive target localization performance is relevant with the specific filter and maneuver model. This paper presents a combination of Unscented Kalman Filtering (UKF) with control inputs and optimal route planning algorithm to improve the performance. Taking the minimum trace of unbiased UKF estimation covariance matrix as criteria, single-step heading traverse method is applied to reach every optimal solution. A single flight path simulation and Monte Carlo analysis validate that the optimal strategy can improve both the convergence and localization accuracy.
