The non-Gaussian character of glint noise is demonstrated by exploratory data analysis. This non-Gaussian behavior is characterized by outliers in the form of glint spikes. Since glint noise is processed by an angle-tracking Kalman filter, and since the latter is quite nonrobust, strategies are proposed to minimize the effect of these glint spikes. One of the strategies, which involves robust preprocessing of the data, is pursued in detail. Finally, some results of a planar missile simulation are presented that clearly demonstrate the merits of the robust preprocessing strategy.
