Research on optimization of seaside radar deployment based on DEM data and GA

Abstract

According to the lack of sea detection research and the high complexity of genetic algorithm (GA) based on actual terrain data in radar network deployment optimization, this paper carries out the research on seaside radar deployment optimization with the digital elevation model (DEM) data and genetic algorithm. Based on the given positions and seaside radar detection model, the proposed algorithm can greatly reduce the searching space of GA and improve the solving speed. Simulation results show that, our algorithm can obtain almost the same optimal results compared with the exhausted searching method, while enjoying obvious advantage in speeding with the increase of deployment scale.
