Initiating tracks on target aircraft with a Space Based Radar (SBR) requires an ability to correlate SBR reports of the aircraft in an environment of background traffic. A promising motion feasibility algorithm for report-to-report correlation of SBR observations of aircraft has been developed, and its predicted performance is the subject of this paper. Probabilistic methodology for analyzing algorithm performance is described and applied to the SBR algorithm. The theoretical discussion is followed by a presentation of the results of a Monte Carlo computer simulation in which an enhanced version of the algorithm is tested against a realistic scenario of air traffic motion. During a 14-hour period of the scenario, the enhanced algorithm had a correct association decision rate on the well-behaved traffic of over 94 %, assuming a constant SBR revist interval of 24 minutes. The algorithm performance predictions of the theoretical and simulation studies are compared and show similar characteristics and trends.
