The capabilities of modern multifunction/mission Radar can be only fully realized by using new sensor control strategies and the most obvious sensor management imperative is the development of optimal realtime waveform scheduling algorithms. For this purpose, Thales is studying Intelligent Radar Time Resources management for Multi-mission extended air Defence radar used for both Air and Ballistic Missile Defence, based on innovative Active Electronically Steered Antenna technology. This paper describes the functional architecture of radar resources management used for adaptive time budget optimization and key enablers for advanced cognition, agility and autonomy capabilities. We conclude with simulation in the ASTRAD framework.
