Introduction

The 7th seminar on Target Tracking and Data Fusion was the perfect opportunity to familiarise yourself with developments in the industry since the last event in 2006. The seminar contained an additional focus on Data Fusion, creating a comprehensive view of how the two subjects interlink.

This event has now taken place.
