Netted Radar Tracking with Multiple Simultaneous Transmissions against Combined PDS Interception

الملخص EN

One of the advantages of a netted airborne radar system (NARS) is escaping interception of the passive detection system (PDS) while tracking a target.

A significant tactic to realize tracking without PDS interception is to study the low probability of interception (LPI) time of NARS.

Firstly, this paper analyses the power, frequency, and platform interception probabilities of a combined PDS consisting of a radar-warning receiver (RWR) and an electronic support measurement (ESM).

Secondly, this paper takes interactive multiple models (IMM) to describe the target tracking process and introduces a binary hypothesis test for chi square as well as noncentralized chi square distributions as a detection criterion of NARS during target tracking after the design of adaptive dwell time and the maximum illumination interval algorithm.

Finally, based on experiential moving platform interception probabilities of a RWR and an ESM, a simplified math model is presented to estimate LPI time of NARS when the parameters are partially known.

Simulations illustrate that the simultaneous management of radiation power and time is crucial for NARS against combined PDS interception.
