关 键 词：Sensor Management Observation Control Radar
摘 要：We formulate the problem of managing sensors as one of optimal control of the resulting state estimator covariance *** posed in the early days of optimal control,this problem has received little attention, despite the proliferation of active sensing systems and sensor networks and the resulting need to target observations to obtain useful state estimates while minimizing energy *** consider the problem where the parameters of an observation system,to be selected from an given set,are controlled *** give a necessary condition for optimality and a numerical scheme for finding these ***,using a convenient parametrization of the ambiguity function for a certain class of pulsed radar systems,we apply this theory to optimal tracking of a target with known dynamics.
