Power and Waveform Resource Allocation Method of LPI Netted Radar for Target Search and Tracking

ABSTRACT A joint power and waveform resource allocation algorithm is proposed for netted radar integrated search and tracking tasks with low probability of intercept. For the search and tracking performance, the detection probability and the posterior Cramér‐Rao lower bound of the target are adopted separately. The optimization problem of joint resource allocation is solved by controlling the radar node selection, power allocation, waveform selection, and pulse duration, to minimise the total power of the netted radar while meeting the search and tracking performance for a given target. The intelligent optimization methods are used to solve the problem, and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation.
