This paper presents a method-Parallel Joint Probability Track Initiation Logic

and it is used for track initiation of maneuver- and non-maneuver targets in the airborne pulse Doppler fire radar based on the research of current track initiation methods.The idea of this method establishes track initiation logic by combining two track initiation methods with different performance (M of N and Bayesian track initiation) during engineering implementation.This method takes account of maneuver- and non-maneuver target track initiation.The results of Monte Carlo trials demonstrate that this method not only remains the advantage of M of N and Bayesian track initiation

but also overcomes its shortcomings.The proposed algorithm

on the one hand

decreases the track initiation average time

and on the other hand

the probabilistic correctness of track initiation is also improved.
