Multi-Radar Collaborative Surveillance (MRCS) technology enables a geographically distributed detection configuration through the linkage of multiple radars, which can fully obtain detection gains in terms of spatial and frequency diversity, thereby enhancing the detection performance and viability of radar systems in the context of complex electromagnetic environments. MRCS is one of the key development directions in radar technology and has received extensive attention in recent years. Considerable research on MRCS has been conducted, and numerous achievements in system architecture design, signal processing, and resource scheduling for MRCS have been accumulated. This paper first summarizes the concept of MRCS technology, elaborates on the signal processing-based closed-loop mechanism of cognitive collaboration, and analyzes the challenges faced in the process of MRCS’s implementation. Then, the paper focuses on cognitive tracking and resource scheduling algorithms and implements the technical summary regarding the connotation characteristics, system configuration, tracking model, information fusion, performance evaluation, resource scheduling algorithm, optimization criteria, and cognitive process of cognitive tracking. The relevance between multi-radar cognitive tracking and its system resource scheduling is further analyzed. Subsequently, the recent research trends of cognitive tracking and resource scheduling algorithms are identified and summarized in terms of five aspects: radar resource elements, information fusion architectures, tracking performance indicators, resource scheduling models, and complex task scenarios. Finally, the full text is summarized and future technology in this field is explored to provide a reference for subsequent research on related technologies.
