Description

The goal of the proposed effort is to develop a jam-resistant fully adaptive radar (JR-FAR) framework for detection, tracking, and imaging of targets in the presence of jamming in a maritime surveillance scenario.  A selection of jamming techniques and advanced JR waveforms will be modeled and implemented in a Matlab-based simulation testbed.  The testbed will include a simulator for multiple target radar measurement data, a JR-FAR algorithm for selecting the next radar transmissions for multiple targets, a set of jammer inference, target detection, and target tracking algorithms to process the received data, and a set of analysis tools for evaluating performance. Performance will be analyzed using traditional and advanced JR waveforms, fixed and cognitively controlled waveform selection strategies, and quiescent and dynamic jamming environments
