Optimization of searching for moving targets of a multifunctional radar station

Abstract

A method for optimizing the process of searching for an unknown number of moving targets in conditions of stochastic uncertainty is proposed, which allows to significantly reduce the average time of their finding by a multifunctional radar device equipped with an antenna array. More effective is the optimal managed search, in which the order of viewing different directions is determined in the search process depending on the results of already performed views. One of the important areas of further improvement of radar technology is the transition to antenna arrays with digital beamforming based on adaptive signal processing directly in the elements of the digital antenna array (DAA).
