ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the problem statements and solutions of control problems in complex radar system (CRS). It argues that all information about target conditions in radar coverage is reconstructed by the a priori and a posterior data in the course of CRS operation. The control subsystem must be considered, first, as the means toward this end assigned for the CRS and, second, as a method to compensate for unwanted changes in environment that are interferences for its optimal functioning. Division or decomposition of the CRS into subsystems assumes that each subsystem has a criterion function to control that is generated from a general objective function of the CRS. The objective function of an optimal control process is the minimization of specific CRS power resource consumption to detect the target under scanning, refreshment, and estimation of target range track parameters under target tracking. However, simplification leads us to an increase in CRS energy expenditure for each tracking target.
