Modeling and Parameter Optimization of Agile Beam Radar Tracking in Cluttered Environments

The parameter optimization for agile beam radar tracking is addressed to minimize the radar resources that are required to maintain a target under track. The parameters to be optimized include the track-revisit interval and the sequence of pairs of target signal strengths and detection thresholds associated with repeated illumination attempts in each track-revisit. The optimization problem is solved numerically for typical examples.
