Dynamic programming techniques for sequential detection and tracking of moving targets in radar systems

The problem of sequential multi-frame detection and tracking for low-observable moving targets is herein considered. A Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT) is employed for the detection problem while target tracking relies upon a Maximum-A-Posteriori (MAP) estimate. The computational costs of the proposed algorithm is also considered and, supported by Dynamic Programming (DP), an efficient implementation of the detection and tracking procedure is developed.
