This book describes grouping detection and initiation; group initiation algorithm based on geometry center; data association and track continuity; as well as separate-detection and situation cognition for group-target. It specifies the tracking of the target in different quantities and densities. At the same time, it integrates cognition into the application.

Group-target Tracking is designed as a book for advanced-level students and researchers in the area of radar systems, information fusion of multi-sensors and electronic countermeasures. It is also a valuable reference resource for professionals working in this field.

Introduction.- Preliminaries.- Group-target Splitting Detection and Group Initiation.- Single-group-target Data Association and Track Maintenance.- Multi-group-target Data Association and Track Maintenance.- Detection of Group Target Combination and Splitting and Situation Cognition.- Simulations of Group-target Tracking Algorithms.
