  • Apparatus and method for processing electronic intelligence (ELINT) and radar tracking data
    Patent number: 9971011
    Abstract: A system and method for tracking an object receive electronic intelligence (ELINT) track information related to the object and radar track information. A first likelihood that the radar track information is also related to the object is determined at a first time of the ELINT track information and a first time of the radar track information. A second likelihood that the radar track information is also related to the object is determined at a second time of the ELINT track information and a second time of the radar track information. The first likelihood and the second likelihood are processed to determine whether the ELINT track information and the radar track information should be associated as both being related to the object.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: May 15, 2018
    Assignee: Raytheon Company
    Inventors: Loretta A. Testa, Samuel S. Blackman, Ray B. Huffaker, Catherine Durand, Kristine Hacobian
