In the context of an increasingly chaotic electromagnetic environment, the problem of multisensor data fusion for tracking airborne maneuvering targets has garnered significant attention and applications. In low-to-no power scenarios, certain sensors exhibit measurement inaccuracies, and the disparity in measurement precision among networked sensors leads to data inequality. This results in poor fusion accuracy in the multisensor fusion process, particularly when prior weights are unknown. To address the aforementioned problems, this study first redefines the motion model of airborne maneuvering targets by capturing the complexity of the trajectory of the target. Subsequently, a modeling framework for low-to-no power scenarios is established using a one-transmitter three-receiver radar system. In this model, the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of the two sensors was intentionally reduced to simulate data inequality. Finally, a distance velocity (DV) fusion algorithm was designed based on the Sequential Monte Carlo Probability Hypothesis Density (SMC-PHD) algorithm. Specifically, after the state extraction step of the SMC-PHD filter algorithm, the final estimated target was obtained in two steps: judgment and weighted summation. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in improving fusion accuracy and robustness in dynamic environments and under real electromagnetic interference.
