Popis: Active radar/infrared (IR) compound guidance technology has become a hot research content of compound guidance field. According to the characteristics and the engineering application of active radar/IR composite seeker system, in this paper, a distributed flow of information fusion for Radar/IR composite seeker was established. First the observation data of the two seekers were pretreated, including time and space registration and outlier elimination of the observation data. After that, the Federated Filter (FF) was used to setup an information fusion algorithm of radar/IR composite seeker. According to the different characteristics of radar and IR system, the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) algorithm and the Pseudo-linear Kalman Filter (PLKF) algorithm were used to design radar and IR local filter respectively. The simulation results show that this information fusion algorithm provides significant improvement in the tracking precision of the radar/IR composite seeker system, and it has good real-time performance and stability.
