Predicted Position of Target Formula Elements

Variables
Target Predicted Position
Target Predicted Position is the predicted or estimated position of target at the nth scan by the track-while-scan surveillance radar.
Symbol: xpn
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Smoothed Position
Smoothed Position is defined as the estimated present position of target by track-while-scan surveillance radar.
Symbol: Xin
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
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.
Symbol: α
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Measured Position at Nth Scan
Measured position at Nth scan is the measured or actual position of target at the nth scan by the track-while-scan surveillance radar.
Symbol: xn
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Predicted Position of Target?

Predicted Position of Target evaluator uses Target Predicted Position = (Smoothed Position-(Position Smoothing Parameter*Measured Position at Nth Scan))/(1-Position Smoothing Parameter) to evaluate the Target Predicted Position, The Predicted position of target formula is defined as probability of target at particular position. Target Predicted Position is denoted by xpn symbol.

How to evaluate Predicted Position of Target using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Predicted Position of Target, enter Smoothed Position (Xin), Position Smoothing Parameter (α) & Measured Position at Nth Scan (xn) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Predicted Position of Target

What is the formula to find Predicted Position of Target?
The formula of Predicted Position of Target is expressed as Target Predicted Position = (Smoothed Position-(Position Smoothing Parameter*Measured Position at Nth Scan))/(1-Position Smoothing Parameter). Here is an example- 74 = (40-(0.5*6))/(1-0.5).
How to calculate Predicted Position of Target?
With Smoothed Position (Xin), Position Smoothing Parameter (α) & Measured Position at Nth Scan (xn) we can find Predicted Position of Target using the formula - Target Predicted Position = (Smoothed Position-(Position Smoothing Parameter*Measured Position at Nth Scan))/(1-Position Smoothing Parameter).
Can the Predicted Position of Target be negative?
No, the Predicted Position of Target, measured in Length cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Predicted Position of Target?
Predicted Position of Target is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Predicted Position of Target can be measured.
