An increased concern in space situational awareness has resulted from the rise in space debris and its threat to future space missions. For safety reasons, it is critically important to populate and maintain a catalog of orbiting objects. To detect and track space debris, telescopes and radars are typically used, resulting in multiple point measurements, which have to be processed in order to discriminate detections from clutter. Such processes are often based on Bayesian filtering. Conventional filters, such as the Kalman filter, cannot be directly applied to cluttered data problems because a multitarget estimate is required and/or multiple measurements are received. The recently introduced random finite set theory provides an elegant framework within which such problems can be naturally expressed and solved. This paper presents the application of several variations of the random finite-set-based joint target detection and tracking filter, which is a single-target multiple measurement-based filter, for processing radar measurements. Robust versions of this filter are presented to further account for unknown and possible time-varying detection statistics. The presented filters have the capability of differentiating a target from clutter measurements within real datasets as well estimating target probabilities of detection and radar clutter rates.

Recently, the growing number of inactive Resident Space Objects (RSOs), or space debris, has provoked increased interest in the field of Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and various investigations of new methods for orbital object tracking. In comparison with conventional tracking scenarios, state estimation of an orbiting object entails additional challenges, such as orbit determination and orbital state and covariance propagation in the presence of highly non-linear system dynamics. The sensors which are available for detecting and tracking space debris are prone to multiple clutter measurements. Added to this problem, is the fact that it is unknown whether or not a space debris type target is present within such sensor measurements. Under these circumstances, traditional single-target filtering solutions such as Kalman Filters fail to produce useful trajectory estimates.  The recent Random Finite Set (RFS) based Finite Set Statistical (FISST) framework has yielded filters which are more appropriate for such situations. The RFS based Joint Target Detection and Tracking (JoTT) filter, also known as the Bernoulli filter, is a single target, multiple measurements filter  capable  of  dealing  with  cluttered  and  time-varying  backgrounds  as  well  as  modeling  target  appearance  and disappearance in the scene.  Therefore, this paper presents the application of the Gaussian mixture-based JoTT filter for processing measurements from Chilbolton Advanced Meteorological Radar (CAMRa) which contain both defunct and operational satellites.  The CAMRa is a fully-steerable radar located in southern England, which was recently modified to be used as a tracking asset in the European Space Agency SSA program.  The experiments conducted show promising results regarding the capability of such filters in processing cluttered radar data.
