Bistatic active sonar enables robust and precise target position and tracking, making it a key technology for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in underwater surveillance. This paper proposes a multi-information-assisted target tracking algorithm for bistatic active sonar, leveraging spatial and temporal echo signal structures to address the challenges of AUVs in shallow water. First, broadened cluster formations in sonar echoes are analyzed, leading to the integration of a spatial clustering-based data association. This paper departs from conventional methods by fusing target position, echo amplitude, and Doppler information during the movement of AUVs, which can improve the efficiency of association probability computation. The re-derived multi-information-assisted association probability calculation method and algorithmic workflow are explicitly designed for real-time implementation in AUV systems. Simulation experiments verify the feasibility of integrating Doppler and amplitude information. The sea trial data from simulated AUV-deployed bistatic sonar contained only amplitude information due to experimental limitations. By utilizing this amplitude information, the algorithm proposed in this paper demonstrates a 23.95% performance improvement over the traditional probabilistic data association algorithm. The proposed algorithm provides AUVs with enhanced tracking autonomy, significantly advancing their capability in ocean engineering applications.
