This paper presents a benchmark problem for tracking maneuvering targets. The benchmark problem involves beam pointing control of a phased array (agile beam) radar against highly maneuvering targets. A testbed simulation program that includes the effects of target amplitude fluctuations, beamshape, missed detections, finite resolution, target maneuvers, and track loss is described. Limits on the position and maneuverability of the targets are given along with descriptions of six target trajectories. The "best" tracking algorithm is the one that requires the minimum number of radar dwells while satisfying a constraint of 4% on the maximum number of lost tracks.

This paper extends an earlier benchmark problem for beam pointing control of a phased array radar to include the effects of false alarms and ECM. Multiple waveforms are included in the benchmark problem so that the radar energy can be coordinated with the tracking algorithm. The ECM includes a standoff jammer broadcasting wideband noise and targets attempting Range Gate Pull Off (RGPO). The paper presents the radar model, the ECM techniques, the target scenarios, and performance criteria for the benchmark problem.
