Parameter optimisation for an integrated radar detection and tracking system

Studies concerned with improving a radar's ability to track surrounding targets concentrate generally on obtaining good tracking-system performance for each individual target. Thus, only one type of target is automatically assumed. However, the considered case is rare in an ordinary radar operating environment. The present investigation considers the concept of 'energy management' for tracking targets in various radar environments. The results of the investigation verify that tracking performance can be improved by recognizing the nature and the environment for the target. Such information makes it possible to allocate radar resources according to the operating circumstance of the radar system.
