Ijst Object Tracking Using Matlab

With increasing threat from different countries, India has to develop a strong defensive barrier against them. The emerging technology in war ammunition makes us one of the well armed countries in the world. One of the most used weapons is missiles, which were extensively developed under the guidance of Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam, the architect of IGMDP (Integrated Missile Development Program). Whatever may be the technology, it is appreciated only when human loss is avoided. The third generation missiles have such technology and they are equipped with IR (Infrared) seekers and have anti jamming technology. Examples for third generation missiles are NAG. NAG is such a missile which works on “fire and forget” principle. Once it is fired, its seeker automatically guides the missile to the target even if it is a moving target. This reduces exposition of user to enemy. This report contains the on board algorithms which help in tracking the target by the Infrared seeker. These will be processed using MATLAB software. Key terms: Object tracking, Nag missile, MATLAB.
