Abstract

In two previous papers [2,3] (Signal Processing 82 (8) (August 2002) 1096:80 (9) (September 2000) 1833) the authors have described the concept of cueing a microwave radar (MR) by exploiting the detection of a low-frequency radar (LFR); the target of interest was an aircraft in [2] and a ballistic object in [3]. This study considers again the detection and tracking of a ballistic target by extending the cueing chain to include early measurements provided by a sensor (for instance an infrared camera) installed on board of low-orbit satellites. The mathematical approach, conceived in [3], aimed at obtaining detection and tracking performance of target, is then extended to the present study to analyse a more realistic scenario that involves the exploitation of early measurements provided by space-borne sensors. The advantage of the satellite cueing is put in evidence.
