Method for generation of target-marking bearing tracks

The invention relates to a method for generating target-marking directional tracks for a plurality of sound-emitting targets in a sea area directed by a plurality of sensors, each sensor providing a sensor track made of sequential bearings for each found and tracked target. In order to reduce the plurality of directional tracks to only as many target-marking directional tracks as targets found by the totality of sensors, and in order to correctly assign track segments between which gaps in time occur, sensor tracks of a plurality of sensors that are derived from a common target are consolidated into contact tracks - starting from the sensor tracks of the most accurate sensor - to form a track-to-track fusion, and contact tracks that are offset in time are checked for the probability of them belonging together. Contacts tracks that are offset in time and have a high probability of belonging together are associated with each other and designated as uninterrupted target tracks.
