Advanced Fusion & Tracking System (AFTS)

The heart of the AFTS multi-sensor integration capability is the TOTS application developed by Advanced System Architectures (ASA). The TOTS technology in the AFTS simultaneously tracks all types of above-earth targets including ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, fixed-wing aircraft, rotary-wing aircraft, and ships. Underpinning the AFTS is a uniquely powerful, single-stage, sensor-data fusion and tracking architecture that uses a novel combination of fully cross-coupled Kalman filters and Bayesian probability logic.

Benefits of the AFTS include:

• Reduced dual tracks
• Improved tracking of closely spaced objects
• Increased track continuity
• Aggressive track initiation
• Excellent clutter rejection
• Increased tracking accuracy
• Large track capacity (16,000+ tracks)
• Increased capacity
• Unlimited sensor inputs
