Accordingly,the low probability of intercept(LPI) performance of system can be improved by collaboratively optimizing transmit power and waveform. For target radar cross section(RCS) prediction, we design a random RCS prediction model based on electromagnetic simulation(ES) of target. For waveform selection, we build a waveform library to adaptively manage the frequency modulation slope and pulse width of radar waveform. For power allocation,the CCP is employed to balance tracking accuracy and power resource. The Bayesian Cramér-Rao lower bound(BCRLB) is adopted as a criterion to measure target tracking accuracy. The hybrid intelli gent algorithms, in which the stochastic simulation is integrated into the genetic algorithm(GA), are used to solve the stochastic optimization problem. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed JWSPA strategy can save more transmit power than the traditional fixed waveform scheme under the same target tracking accuracy.展开更多
