Abstract

Background/Objectives: Pseudo Linear Estimator (PLE) is developed for active sonar applications. Methods/Statistical analysis: The PLE offers features of Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). Findings: The results of PLE are compared with that of EKF. The results of MC simulation are presented for typical scenarios. Application/Improvements: In PLE, there is no need to initialize target state vector and its covariance matrix with prior (approximate) knowledge and hence its performance is found to be better than that of EKF.
