Information about Radar Tracker
A radar tracker is a component of a radar system that aggregates individual radar observations into tracks. It is particularly useful when the radar system is reporting data from several different targets. A tracker operates by comparing the incoming data from the radar sensor with earlier data and determining which new observations are consistent with existing tracks. A typical tracker employs a Kalman filter or a similar device to make the comparison. Depending on the particular data produced by the sensor, the tracker may use a sequence of the target's reported locations to deduce the target's course and speed, or it may use the reported course and speed to aid in tracking.
Radar is a system that uses electromagnetic waves to identify the range, altitude, direction, or speed of both moving and fixed objects such as aircraft, ships, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain.

Course, in navigation, is the intended flight path of an airplane over the ground; or the direction of a line drawn on a chart representing the intended airplane path, expressed as the angle measured from a specific reference datum clockwise from 0° through 360° to the line.

sensor is a type of transducer. Direct-indicating sensors, for example, a mercury thermometer, are human-readable. Other sensors, such as a thermocouple, only produce an output voltage or other electrical output which must be interpreted by another device (such as a computer).

The Kalman filter is an efficient recursive filter that estimates the state of a dynamic system from a series of incomplete and noisy measurements. It was developed by Rudolf Kalman.
