Abstract
Target tracking is an essential issue in the real world both for the survival of animals and for the life of human beings. For instance, to capture a prey, a lion must fix its eyes all long on the target. In military and civil fields such as ballistic missile defense, air defense early-warning, sea and ground battlefield surveillance and air traffic control, tracking targets reliably and precisely is pursued all the time by sensor tracking systems like radar.
