1. A method for associating a detection report having measurements to a line track, wherein said line track correlates to a signal transmitted from a source of opportunity, reflected from a target, and detected by a passive coherent location system, comprising:

  • estimating a line track state vector from said measurements using a set of Kalman filters wherein said measurements are at least partially derived by comparing said signal to a reference transmission from said source of opportunity; and

    initializing said line track.
