A novel hybrid scheme for the maneuver detection and estimation of a noncooperative space target was proposed in this study. The optical measurements, together with the range and range rate measurements from the ground-based radars, were used in the tracking scenarios. In many tracking scenarios, radar resources for non-cooperative targets are constrained, particularly for near-earth targets, where multiple objects can only be tracked by a single radar at a time. This limitation hinders the accurate estimation of noncooperative target maneuvers, and can at times result in target loss. Existing literature has addressed this issue to some extent through various maneuvering target-tracking methods. To address this problem, a hybrid maneuver detection and estimation method that combines the input detection and estimation extended kalman filter and the weighted nonlinear least squares method is presented. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the previous method, offering more accurate and efficient estimations.
