In this paper, the problem of distributed high-dimensional nonlinear target tracking over radar networks is investigated. Since radar performances are different in range and measurement functions, utilizing radar networks, data fusion, and data processing increase the accuracy of tracking. Among all data fusion methods for radar networks, distributed manner gains the most reliability and less computation burden with high tracking accuracy. First, nonlinear radar measurements are processed by a local cubature Kalman filter in each agent. Secondly, all processed data over all agents reach an agreement by utilizing a weighted average consensus filter. The proposed algorithm using the consensus on information method decreases the tracking error and computation burden and guarantees the boundedness for any number of consensus steps. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed algorithm and superiority to traditional methods is demonstrated by performing a numerical simulation of tracking a maneuvering target.
