N2 - This paper describes a method for creating synthetic air tracks without the aide of a sophisticated simulator. The proposed method creates a position and velocity function for an aircraft given its starting location and speed, altitude, and heading on each leg of its flight. An optimization procedure is used to fit the position and velocity functions to the supplied data. Several examples of tracks produced by the method are shown in the paper. The synthetic tracks that are produced by this method can be used to facilitate testing of command and control systems and to enhance any simulation that requires air tracks that satisfy specific constraints on time, speed, and position.
