Abstract:

Abstract. A neural network recognition and tracking system is proposed for classification of radar pulses in autonomous Electronic Support Measure systems. Radar type information is combined with position-specific information from active emitters in a scene. Such a What-and-Where fusion strategy is motivated by a similar subdivision of labor in the brain. OVERVIEW A critical function of radar Electronic Support Measures (ESM) [1, 2, 3] is the real-time identification of the radar type associated with each pulse train that is intercepted. In this paper, a newapproach to this task is examined. Type-specific parameters of the input pulse stream are used to classify pulses according to radar type, while environment-specific parameters are used to separate pulses corresponding to active emitters. An ESM system incorporating a neural network recognition system is depicted in Figure 1. First a time of arrival (TOA) deinterleaver uncovers periodicities in the TOA of input pulse description words (PDWs). Whenever grouping of pulses is straightforward, it forms tracks and assigns a track number and a pulse repetition interval (PRI) to each grouped pulse. The neural network recognition system receives all the PDWs, some of which have track numbers and PRI parameters. The neural network outputs a prediction of the radar type for every PDW, and assigns a track number to the PDWs that did not get one from the TOA deinterleaver.
