Tracking Theater Ballistic Missiles (TBMs) during boost phase is becoming a requirement for some engagement strategies. The requirement for boost phase tracking can be based on the needs of an early launch doctrine or can be motivated by the availability of a cue provided by an airborne search and track infrared/laser system. The standard filters require that the target being tracked have, respectively, constant velocity or constant acceleration. This paper presents and analyzes a Kalman filter designed to track a missile experiencing hyperbolically increasing acceleration during boost phase. For purposes of comparison, the tracking results of an alpha-beta filter are provided for a general class of TBMs representative of the threat set.
