The method assumes level flight in the target aircraft and a good estimate of the speed of the aircraft. The method yields good results for medium to high altitudes, though performs weaker at low altitudes. The method can distinguish between high and low targets on a normal 2-D radar, and can reach a height resolution of 100 m provided the 2-D radar is optimised to the task.enRadar trackingAircraft height estimation2-D search radarTarget trackingAircraft altitude estimation2-D radarAircraft height estimation using 2-D radarArticleHakl, H., Davies, E., & le Roux, W.
