Application of Kalman filter to track ship Maneuver

One of the algorithms implemented in Radar system is Kalman filter. Kalman filter is one of a method to estimate a problem in dynamic systems and model measurement. Kalman filter has the ability to estimate certain condition either in the past, current, future time, or characteristic of the model unknown. The Purpose of this paper is to design ships tracking system using Kalman filter algorithm. According to the estimation result, Kalman filter can overcome noise from radar. This research shows that Kalman filter gives a good performance in tracking normal cruising speed.
