| Summary: | A deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based power allocation method is proposed to achieve a low probability of intercept (LPI) in a netted synthetic aperture radar (SAR). To provide a physically meaningful and intuitive assessment of a netted radar for LPI performance, a netted circular equivalent vulnerable radius (NCEVR) is proposed and adopted. For SAR detection performance, the resolution, signal-to-noise ratio in a single pulse, and signal-to-noise ratio in SAR imaging are integrated at the task level. The LPI performance is achieved by minimizing NCEVR within the constraints of SAR detection performance. The powers in multiple moments are optimized using the DRL proximal policy optimization algorithm with the designed reward and observation. A DRL-based solver is provided for LPI radar, which handles problems that are difficult to optimize using traditional methods. The effectiveness is verified by simulations. |
