Abstract

This paper extends an earlier benchmark problem for beam pointing control of a phased array radar to include the effects of false alarms and ECM. Multiple waveforms are included in the benchmark problem so that the radar energy can be coordinated with the tracking algorithm. The ECM includes a standoff jammer broadcasting wideband noise and targets attempting range gate pull off. The paper presents the radar model, the ECM techniques, the target scenarios, and performance criteria for the benchmark problem
