Abstract
In Space Situational Awareness (SSA), one may encounter scenarios where the measurements received at a certain time do not correlate to a known Resident Space Object (RSO). Without information that uniquely assigns the measurement to a particular RSO there can be no certainty on the identity of the object. It could be that the measurement was produced by clutter or perhaps a newly birthed RSO. It is also a possibility that the measurement came from a previously known object that maneuvered away from its predicted location. Typically, tracking methods tend to associate uncorrelated measurements to new objects and wait for more information to determine the true RSO population. This can lead to the loss of object custody. The goal of this paper is to utilize a multiple hypothesis framework coupled with some knowledge of RSO maneuvers that allows the user to maintain object custody in scenarios with uncorrelated optical measurement returns. This is achieved by fitting a Fisher-Bingham-Kent type distribution to the hypothesized maneuvers for accurate data association using directional discriminant analysis.
