Abstract: A summary of Lincoln Laboratory’s forty-plus-year history of inventing and using radar technology for the long-range detection and tracking of ballistic missiles, satellites, and planets can be found in this article. The AN/FPS-17 radar in Turkey, the Millstone and Haystack radars in Massachusetts, as well as the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System have all been developed and used as part of this endeavor (BMEWS). Deep-space satellite tracking and space science have benefited greatly from the usage of the Millstone and Haystack radars. The challenge of using radar readings to track a re-entry ballistic item is examined in this research. The topic of radar tracking of a ballistic target is quite complex, especially when the properties of the objects entering the atmosphere of the Earth are unknown. Since target identification is necessary to achieve good performance, the multiple model filter is a method often used in real-world applications.
