Abstract:

Considering the problem that pulse Doppler (PD) radar seeker could not track and guide target precisely in the presence of velocity gate pull-off (VGPO) jamming, an algorithm for countering VGPO based on probability data association (PDA) is proposed. For the angle and Doppler measurements of radar seeker, the sequential extended Kalman filter (SEKF) is used to estimate the target state. According to the strong nonlinear characteristics of Doppler measurement, the pseudo-measurement information is constructed, and the method of using the probability data association algorithm to counter VGPO in the phase of Doppler measurement update is proposed. The derivation process of the algorithm is given and the algorithm is verified by numerical simulation. The simulation results show that the algorithm proposed can track the target stably under multiple VGPO jamming, suppress the influence of VGPO on guidance information estimation effectively, and improve the guidance accuracy of the missile.

Key words: radar seeker, sequential extended Kalman filter (SEKF), probability data association (PDA), multiple velocity gate pull-off (VGPO) jamming, target guidance
