Abstract:

Radiant energy reduction is an efficient method to improve the radio frequency stealth performance of airborne radar. Aiming at the constraint of radiant energy reduction in target tracking. Firstly, by means of analyzing the target echo signal to noise ratio (SNR) of dual airborne radar system, the contribution to the total radar radiant energy is derived from the distance ratio between dual radar and the target and target radar cross section, respectively. Then, for the sampling interval algorithms in radar target tracking, the recursive method based on filter residual is pointed. And the tracking accuracy and computational efficiency of simulation are analyzed and compared to the other two algorithms. Finally, the reduction of radiant energy of dual radar is verified while tracking a target, using the interacting multiple mode Kalman filter (IMMKF) algorithm and the recursive method based on filter residual. And the simulation results prove the contribution to the total radar radiant energy reduction of dual radar, utilizing the active and passive joint target tracking system. Experiment results show that the target tracking strategy involved in this paper has better stealth performance frequency.
