EMA3100A Target Motion Simulator is a tool for generating target tracking data and modeling motions in 2D and 3D Cartesian and polar coordinates. It supports two main project types: Target Tracking Projects to generate tracking data for multiple targets, and Motion Modeling Projects to create trajectories from modeled paths. Projects can be created in different coordinate systems and consist of defining paths or targets, configuring sensors and measurements, and viewing simulated outputs. The simulator also provides standalone tools for path modeling, combining paths, viewing trajectories, and defining sensor measurements without creating a full project.

1. CHAPTER 1
Introduction
1.1. What is EMA3100A Target Motion Simulator
EMA3100A Target Motion Simulator, is a compact, user-friendly and powerful multipurpose engineering
tool with target tracking data generation and motion modeling functionalities capable of operating in 2D
and 3D Cartesian Coordinates, in Range-Azimuth, Range-Elevation, Azimuth-Elevation Polar
Coordinates.

2. 2 Chapter 1 Introduction
EMA3100A Target Motion Simulator currently supports two project types which are
 Target Tracking Projects (TTP)
 Motion Modeling Projects (MMP)
By Motion Modeling Projects (MMP), motions are modeled and paths forming a trajectory are created in
Cartesian domain or polar domain. By Target Tracking Projects (TTP), target tracking data generation for
more than one target with different activation and initial position offsets are created under user selected
sensor measurement and missing data conditions.
Both Motion Modeling Projects (MMP) and Target Tracking Projects (TTP) can be created;
 In 2D Cartesian Coordinates
 In 3D Cartesian Coordinates
 In Polar Coordinates (Range-Azimuth)
 In Polar Coordinates (Range-Elevation)
 In Polar Coordinates (Azimuth-Elevation)
and with planned extensions
 In Spherical Coordinates
 In GPS Framework (Latitude-Longitude-Altitude)

3. 3
Motion Modeling Projects (MMP) consists of mainly six basic stages;
 Selecting Project Type
 Defining Path Creation Method
 Defining and Modeling the Paths
 Configuration Check
 Animated or Static Trajectory Viewer Graphical Outputs
 Combining Paths in Any Order to Create Final Trajectory
which are all detailed in Chapter 4, Motion Modeling Projects. Similarly, Target Tracking Projects (TTP)
consistsof mainly six basic stages;
 Selecting Project Type
 Defining and Configuring Targets
 Defining Sensor Measurement Models and Missing Data Models
 Defining Trajectories, Trajectory Generating Functionals or Combining Paths forming
the Trajectory
 Configuration Check
 Simulation Supported with Animated or Static SimPanel Graphical Outputs
which are all detailed in Chapter 5, Target Tracking Projects

4. 4 Chapter 1 Introduction
Apart from creating and working with Motion Modeling and Target Tracking Projects, EMA3100A
Target Motion Simulator provides some standalone tools (without a need for project creation) which are
