摘      要：In this paper, the problem of bearings-only maneuvering target tracking in sensors network is investigated. Two objectives are proposed and optimized by the ant colony optimization （ACO）, then two kinds of node searching strategies of the ACO algorithm are presented. On the basis of the nodes determined by the ACO algorithm, the interacting multiple models extended Kalman filter （IMMEKF） for the multi-sensor bearings-only maneuvering target tracking is introduced. Simulation results indicate that the proposed ACO algorithm performs better than the Closest Nodes method. Furthermore, the Strategy 2 of the two given strategies is preferred in terms of the requirement of real time.
