This extension enables the DPA to process time-delayed sensor data directly. Such delay might appear because of delays in communication networks. The extended DPA is identical to the recursive standard DPA in case of all sensor data appear in the timely correct order. Furthermore an intense evaluation of the Accumulated State Density ASD filter is given on simulation data. Last but not least we apply a combination of DPA and ASD on data of a real radar system and present the resulting tracks. Our experience concerning this combination is a seamless cooperation between the track initialization by DPA and a track maintenance by ASD filter.

Introduction Since many years security applications employing radar sensors for surveillance objectives are increasingly important. In situations where targets with a low signal-to-noise ratio SNR appear it is convenient to apply tests on track existence utilizing raw sensor data instead of using thresholded measurements. This approach is generally called Track-before-Detect TBD . It enables a radar system to search for low-observable targets LOTs . objects with a low SNR. These targets can be invisible to conventional methodologies as most of the information about them might be cut off by the applied threshold. The gain of a TBD algorithm is often paid by high computational costs. Even today when .
