INVESTIGATION OF ADVANCED NON-LINEAR CONTROL AND ESTIMATION ALGORITHM FOR ROCKET BASED APPLICATIONS

Abstract

Online Object tracking is an important task in radar and sonar signal processing As it  is a challenging problem due to the presence of noise, and dynamic changes. a variety of Stochastic algorithms for tracking targets have been proposed and implemented to reach  these challenges. Approaches towards   highly nonlinear  applications  is an   advanced   task . In this paper, we devote the effort to use the Particle Filtering with estimation of various states of a vehicle launched from an idealized spherical, airless, non-rotating earth to improve tracking efficiency. The simulation results show that the PF improved the tracking performance compared to the Kalman based Filters (EKF, UKF) for the rocket launch application.
