Abstract:
Based on information available on Cognitive Radar (CR) technologies, one can anticipate their potential impact on target track quality that may improve target engagement success rate. CR could multiply force capabilities to respond to threats posed by nefarious groups using advanced technologies against our nations and our allies. However, so far there seems to be no CR technologies currently deployed on military platforms or for military applications but there are indications that some are in development. In the future, CR is expected to offer the capability to detect and track small targets (or stealth platforms) over much extended range than current radar under the same conditions. It could contribute to enabling a drone to disable an opposing force platform or to eliminate drones representing threats to civilian aircraft.
