The Responsive Orbits division of the Center for Space Research and Assurance in the Aeronautics and Astronautics Department of the Air Force Institute of Technology investigates short-term tactical satellite missions that require frequent maneuvers. Pairing research in designing and conducting avoidance maneuvers with research in detecting and tracking maneuvering satellites sets the stage for developing and improving both areas. Strategies in stochastic filtering, smoothing, multiple model adaptive estimation, and maneuver reconstruction are developed to track a high-priority satellite. The article develops a wide range of simulations that modify the maneuver type, tracking antenna performance, antenna coverage, reconstruction method, filtering approach, and number of postmaneuver passes collected. The results determine the levels of error covariance necessary to perform successful maneuver reconstructions. Additionally, the results provide maneuver reconstruction confidence percentages based on the estimated covariance and number of postmaneuver passes.
