Abstract

Modern radar systems are required to perform various tasks within a given time window in order to ascertain the presence of a new target or update information about an existing target. The scheduling of such tasks is therefore important in order to efficiently utilize the radar timeline. This paper describes a novel heuristic approach for scheduling tasks on a multifunction radar. The proposed approach is based on tabu search, and computational results are presented to assess the efficacy of the proposed method.
