Control theoretic approach to tracking radar: First step towards cognition

In Haykin (2006) [8], the idea of Cognitive Radar was described for the first time. Four essential points were emphasized in that seminal paper: Bayesian filtering in the receiver, dynamic programming in the transmitter, memory, and global feedback to facilitate computational intelligence. This paper provides a first step towards designing a cognitive radar for tracking applications by presenting a fore-active tracking radar; a radar that …
