Cognitive Multistatic Radars for Dynamical Environment Sensing (COMURAS)
Abstract
Cognitive radar is a new and developing research area that offers substantial benefits for military and civilian radar systems. Although many research efforts have focused on perception-action cycles, few of them have demonstrated the aspect of learning within a radar perception-action cycle and many problems are still open. A radar that can perform online learning to execute better actions and adapt its operational parameters based on its situational awareness can have potential benefits, which should be well understood with respect to the potential disadvantages. Moreover, cognition in radar systems can be approached in two different ways. The first is the traditional sense-learn-adapt (SLA) paradigm proposed by N. Wiener in 1948 for cognitive dynamic systems and the second is perception-action cycle (PAC) coming about from brain theory research by Fuster and adopted by S. Haykin in (For understanding the advantages of the cognitive radars, both approaches should be explored. Additionally, cognition is typically investigated for a single radar system. However, the distribution of perception-action cycles over multiple radar nodes, at different operating levels, starting from signals and multiple radar functions to the mission level, have a huge research potential.
