Cognitive radar for enhanced target recognition

The COGITO project represents one of the first attempts to apply a cognitive architecture to the problem of target recognition. Today, in fact, most of the “Cognitive Radar” architectures, either implemented or under study, are focused on the radar capability to automatically select the regions of the frequency spectrum that are free of either intentional or unintentional radio frequency interferences. It should be noticed that such a way of working resembles that of a cognitive radio system more than a cognitive radar system.
The concept of cognitive radar for target recognition is based on the system’s ability to understand the environment and to autonomously manage the radar system degrees of freedom (transmitted waveform and received signal processing parameters) as well as the target recognition algorithms. A cognitive radar that is specifically designed for automatic target recognition will aim at maximizing target recognition performances by exploiting a priori knowledge of the external environment as well as by learning from its successes and failures.
The aim of this project is to develop and test, both on simulated and real radar data, different cognitive radar architectures for automatic target recognition.
