Abstract: The Automatic Detection and Track (ADT) radar is one of the most important types of modern radar. This radar rapidly scans a limited angular sector to maintain tracks with a moderate data rate, on more than one target within the coverage of the antenna. It is used for air-defense radars, aircraft landing radars and in some airborne intercept radars to hold multiple targets in track. The aim of this research is to study the tracking algorithm used in targets tracking such as tracking filters, tracking gate and data association. Firstly, we will study the basic principles of these algorithms by MATLAB tools, so we can study all advantages and disadvantages of these algorithms, after that we will design a software tools by visual C++ to implementation these algorithms in real time mode, so that, we can improve this algorithm and represent radar work very close to reality. Firstly, in this research, we will use the basic filters like (α-β), (α-β-γ) and Kalman filter then in the next experiments we can easily use this simulation to add newest filters and algorithms like Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), Particles Filter (PF), maneuver detector algorithm, Multi Model Interaction (MMI) etc.
