Implementation of a cognitive radar perception/action cycle

A cognitive perception/action cycle for a notional fighter radar

“…Building upon our earlier work [5], we used an architecture that supported a knowledge-aided perceptive receiver coupled to an adaptive, electronically scanned array Front End. After considering a number of potential fighter radar modes and functions to implement, we picked several search, track, and identification modes.…”

“…The optimization is solved beam by beam and mode by mode. Once the optimum waveforms for each mode in each beam position are generated, we invoke a legacy Look-Ahead Scheduler (modified from the Net-Track look-ahead scheduler [5] to incorporate electronic protection techniques) to optimize satisfaction of multiple radar service requests given priorities, costs, and constraints. These solutions are iterated over multiple radar cognitive cycles and frame times to generate a cognitively responding system.…”
