Autonomous operations are a crucial aspect in the context of Advanced Air Mobility and other emerging aviation markets. In order to enable this autonomy, an accurate and detailed understanding of the positions of the various vehicles in the air is necessary. Full localization independent of on-board sensors makes the system suitable for noncooperative vehicles. This paper focuses on the object tracking part that relies on distributed ground-based RF and other sensor fusion, considering specific properties and limitations of different sensor types. Results show satisfactory performance in nominal scenarios with full coverage for some sensor types, but RF signals are challenging because of their nature. This paper includes the results from simulations as well as field tests to support the observations and conclusions.
