Summary:The identification of aircraft using high range resolution radars
requires a close interaction between the tracker and the identification
algorithm. The tracker produces as output not only the estimates of
target position and orientation, but also a measure of the quality of
those estimates. The identification algorithm performs a
likelihood-based search over both target types and target positions and
orientations. This search compares the measured data to predicted data
obtained from surface models of the possible targets. The search
constitutes a simultaneous target tracking and identification system
