ABSTRACT:
Tracks of sensed targets are associated into groups and updated over time while tending to maintain their relationships. A two-pass clustering or grouping method includes a first pass groups targets into convoy or swarm groups. In the second pass, groups of targets converging at a common time at high-value-asset(s) are identified as coacting. The association of targets with groups over time is formulated as a constraint optimization problem and solved using a forward-reverse auction to tend to reduce the number of extraneous groups. In one version, countermeasures may be taken against the coacting groups.
