An adaptive, waveform selective probabilistic data association (WSPDA) algorithm for tracking a single target in clutter is presented. The assumption of an optimal receiver allows the inclusion of transmitted waveform specification parameters in the tracking subsystem equations, leading to a waveform selection scheme where the next transmitted waveform parameters are selected so as to minimize the average total mean-square tracking error at the next time step. Semiclosed form solutions are given to the local (one-step-ahead) adaptive waveform selection problem for the case of one-dimensional target motion. A simple simulation example is given to compare the performance of a tracking system using a WSFDA based tracking filter with that of a conventional system with a fixed waveform shape and probabilistic data association (PDA) tracking filter.
