Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cluster applications,
for tasks such as target localisation and tracking, are required to
collect and utilise the data received on “flexible” sensor arrays,
where the sensors, i.e. UAVs in this scenario, have time-variant
positions. In this paper, using a parametric channel model, a UAV
cluster mobility model and a kinematic model of the targets, an
extended Kalman based state space model is proposed that tracks
the unknown UAV positions and target parameters snapshot by
snapshot. Simulation studies illustrating the tracking capabilities
of the proposed technique have been presented.
