When tracking with multi-sensor systems, the set of sensors used may be asynchronous and there may be communications delays between sensor platforms and the fusion center. Despite these conditions, it is desirable that each sensor maintains an accurate track. It has been recognized for some time that the use of a multiple model filter is superior to the use of a single model filter for tracking...
