A survey of radar resource management algorithms

This paper provides a preliminary survey of the multifunction phased array radar resource management algorithms. The survey is done based on selected forty three papers to illustrate existing algorithms for the radar resource optimization problem. The algorithms are categorized into six categories, where the first 3 categories are adaptive scheduling algorithms and the remaining categories are resource aided algorithms. The resource aided algorithms are relevant since a better algorithm needs less resource to achieve the same performance.
