Model assimilation of data strives to determine optimally the state of an evolving physical system from a limited number of observations. The first attempt of applying the extended Kalman filter (EKF) method of data assimilation to shock-wave dynamics induced by high-speed impact will be presented. Additionally, we will mention current work on estimating hydrocode model parameters using EKF.
