Tracking manoeuvring aircrafts is an extremely challenging and important task as far as civil air traffic control is concerned. Considering a multiple switching model design for describing the aircraft dynamics can provide more accurate estimation results than that obtained from a single model design. In this paper, the cubature quadrature Kalman filter (CQKF) has been used to estimate the position and velocity of a target manoeuvring in space. An interacting multiple model (IMM) approach is used to develop the tracker which is supposed to track an ‘S’ manoeuvre. The states are estimated from the bearing and range measurements. Simulation result is provided to show that CQKF with IMM approach is capable of tracking a manoeuvring target without any track loss.
