Variables Used
Target Predicted Position - (Measured in Meter) - Target Predicted Position is the predicted or estimated position of target at the nth scan by the track-while-scan surveillance radar.
Smoothed Position - (Measured in Meter) - Smoothed Position is defined as the estimated present position of target by track-while-scan surveillance radar.
Position Smoothing Parameter - Position Smoothing Parameter is the tuning parameter which is used to improve the quality of smoothed position estimated by the track-while-scan surveillance radar to avoid noisy measurements.
Measured Position at Nth Scan - (Measured in Meter) - Measured position at Nth scan is the measured or actual position of target at the nth scan by the track-while-scan surveillance radar.
