A proper filtering method for jump Markov system (JMS) is an effective approach for tracking a maneuvering target. Since the coexisting of heavy-tailed measurement noises (HTMNs) and one-step random measurement delay (OSRMD) in the complex scenarios of the surface maneuvering target tracking, the effectiveness of typical interacting multiple model (IMM) techniques may decline severely. To solve the state estimation problem in JMSs with HTMN and OSRMD simultaneously, this article designs a novel robust IMM filter utilizing the variational Bayesian (VB) inference framework. This algorithm models the HTMNs as student’s t-distribuitons, and presents a random Bernoulli variable to describe the OSRMD in JMSs. By transforming measurement likelihood function form from weighted summation to exponential product, this paper constructs hierarchical Gaussian state space models. Then, the state vectors, random Bernoulli vairable, and model probability are inferred jointly according to VB inference. The surface maneuvering target tracking simulation example result indicates that the presented IMM filter achieves superior target state estimation accuracy among existing IMM filters.
