Adaptive allocation strategy for cooperatively jamming netted radar system based on improved cuckoo search algorithm

The jamming resource allocation problem of the aircraft formation cooperatively jamming netted radar system is investigated.An adaptive allocation strategy based on dynamic adaptive discrete cuckoo search algorithm(DADCS)is proposed,whose core is to adjust allocation scheme of limited jamming resource of aircraft formation in real time to maintain the best jamming effectiveness against netted radar system.Firstly,considering the information fusion rules and different working modes of the netted radar system,a two-factor jamming effectiveness evaluation function is constructed,detection probability and aiming probability are adopted to characterize jamming effectiveness against netted radar system in searching and tracking mode,respectively.Then a nonconvex optimization model for cooperatively jamming netted radar system is established.Finally,a dynamic adaptive discrete cuckoo search algorithm(DADCS)is constructed by improving path update strategies and introducing a global learning mechanism,and a three-step solution method is proposed subsequently.Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed optimization strategy and the effectiveness of the improved algorithm.

Optimal Power Management for Antagonizing Between Radar and Jamming Based on Continuous Game Theory

To solve the problem of dynamic power resource allocation for cooperative penetration combat,the continuous game theory is introduced and a two-person general-sum continuous-game-based model is put forward with a common payoff function named collaborative detection probability of netted radar countermeasures.Comparing with traditional optimization methods,an obvious advantage of game-based model is an adequate consideration of the opposite potential strategy.This model guarantees a more effective allocation of the both sides′power resource and a higher combat efficiency during a combat.Furthermore,an analysis of the complexity of the proposed model is given and a hierarchical processing method is presented to simplify the calculating process.Simulation results show the validity of the proposed scheme.

New method for passive radar seeker to antagonize non-coherent radar decoy

Using super resolution direction of arrival（DOA） estimation algorithm to reduce the resolution angle is an effective method for passive radar seeker（PRS） to antagonize non-coherent radar decoy.Considering the power and correlation property between radar and non-coherent decoy,an improved subspace DOA estimation method based on traditional subspace algorithm is proposed.Because this new method uses the invariance property of noise subspace,compared with traditional MUSIC algorithm,it shows not only better resolution in condition of closely spaced sources,but also superior performance in case of different power or partially correlated sources.Using this new method,PRS can distinguish radar and non-coherent decoy with good performance.Both the simulation result and the experimental data confirm the performance of the method.

Radio Disturbance Suppression for Ground Wave Radar

A new method of single sample polarization filtering is proposed. The algorithm is fast and suitable for the polarization processing of stationary or nonstationary polarized disturbed signals with one or more independent disturbances. A ground wave polarimetric radar with the ability of radio disturbance suppression is then introduced. Some numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of single sample polarization filtering method for ground wave polarimetric radar.

A cooperative interference resource allocation method based on improved firefly algorithm

To deal with the radio frequency threat posed by modern complex radar networks to aircraft,we researched the unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)formations radar countermeasures,aiming at the solution of radar jamming resource allocation under system countermeasures.A jamming resource allocation method based on an improved firefly algorithm(FA)is proposed.Firstly,the comprehensive factors affecting the level of threat and interference efficiency of radiation source are quantified by a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation.Besides,the interference efficiency matrix and the objective function of the allocation model are determined to establish the interference resource allocation model.Finally,A mutation operator and an adaptive heuristic are integtated into the FA algorithm,which searches an interference resource allocation scheme.The simulation results show that the improved FA algorithm can compensate for the deficiencies of the FA algorithm.The improved FA algorithm provides a more scientific and reasonable decision-making plan for aircraft mission allocation and can effectively deal with the battlefield threats of the enemy radar network.Moreover,in terms of convergence accuracy and speed as well as algorithm stability,the improved FA algorithm is superior to the simulated annealing algorithm(SA),the niche genetic algorithm(NGA),the improved discrete cuckoo algorithm(IDCS),the mutant firefly algorithm(MFA),the cuckoo search and fireflies algorithm(CSFA),and the best neighbor firefly algorithm(BNFA).

An approach for parameter estimation of combined CPPM and LFM radar signal

In this paper, the problem of parameter estimation of the combined radar signal adopting chaotic pulse position modulation （CPPM） and linear frequency modulation （LFM）, which can be widely used in electronic countermeasures, is addressed. An approach is proposed to estimate the initial frequency and chirp rate of the combined signal by exploiting the second-order cyclostationarity of the intra-pulse signal. In addition, under the condition of the equal pulse width, the pulse repetition interval （PRI） of the combined signal is predicted using the low-order Volterra adaptive filter. Simulations demonstrate that the proposed cyclic autocorrelation Hough transform （CHT） algorithm is theoretically tolerant to additive white Gaussian noise. When the value of signal noise to ratio （SNR） is less than 4 dB, it can still estimate the intra-pulse parameters well. When SNR = 3 dB, a good prediction of the PRI sequence can be achieved by the Volterra adaptive filter algorithm, even only 100 training samples.

Sequential Experiment Design Method Based on Uniformity and Distortion of Responses

With the development of modern electronic countermeasure technology,the fight between radar jamming and anti-jamming in aviation military has become increasingly fierce.There are some special requirements for radar countermeasure experiments.For example,such experiments are often divided into several stages,and responses of the previous stages will become factors of the next stages.Moreover,the experiment design can only consider some typical level values of the factors.However,the experiment factors are mostly continuous variables.Thus when there are some jumps in the response,and the value granularity of the factor level is large,the responses fail to reflect the distortion process,which makes it difficult to explore the radar performance boundary.Therefore,it is necessary to study the sequential experiment design method with the optimization goals of response uniformization and response distortion process characterization.In this paper,a sequential experiment design strategy based on Kriging model is established.Firstly,Kriging model is used to fit the initial experimental data to obtain the response surface.In order to enhance the uniformity of response distribution,Shannon entropy is applied to the objective function as the measure of uniformity.While for the situation of response distortion,we consider replacing the existing experiment points with those whose corresponding responses have a larger gradient norm.It means that the response value near these points will change rapidly,so they are more valuable for research.Then we use the peak surface in the three-dimensional space to intuitively verify the effect of the above algorithms on response uniformization and response distortion process characterization,and use the simulated annealing algorithm to solve them.The simulation results show that our sequential experiment strategy has a good effect.Finally,we apply the strategy to the practical problem of radar countermeasure experiment,and the obtained results also perform well.
