In this article, an advanced algorithm for improving the quality of filtering and tracking multiple marine targets for command and control based on analysing high-resolution radar images is proposed. The proposed method includes two stages. The first stage of the proposed method is used for estimating target characteristics such as: center coordinates, reflected energy, movement direction and window tracking size. These charateristics are used as inputs for the second stages. The effectiveness of the algorithm is evaluated by simulation of filtering tracking two targets moving close together using MATLAB tool. The simulation results are compared with other methods such as GNN and JPDA. The results show that the proposed algorithm limits the limitations of the GNN and JPDA methods that confuse or lose the trajectory of the above algorithms.
