The recent emergence of agile software-controlled waveform generation provides an opportunity to dramatically improve radar system performance. This talk describes an integrated algorithm for estimating the state of a surveillance region and using this estimate to design future radar transmissions. Our fully adaptive radar (FAR) resource management (RM) approach emulates the perception-action cycle (PAC) of cognition. The FAR-RM PAC includes a perceptual processor that performs multiple radar system tasks and an executive processor that allocates system resources to the tasks and decides the next transmission of the radar on a dwell-by-dwell basis. The executive processor uses an information theoretic objective function to select the collection of waveforms that is expected to maximally improve the perception on the next cycle. We illustrate our approach in simulation using a model of an agile multi-mode radar whose mission is tracking and classifying multiple target aircraft.
