    Abstract
  • This study proposes an algorithm focused on Low Probability of Intercept Based energy management and beam-position task scheduling for regional search in constellation radar systems. First, the search airspace is discretized into a set of beam positions using a recursive beam-position generation method. The detection data from individual beam positions are then combined to create regional composite detection information. Based on prior target threat distribution, geometric link gains, and radiation energy allocation, an analytical expression for the regional weighted detection probability is derived to serve as the performance metric for the regional search. On this basis, an RF stealth-oriented energy management optimization model is established, in which the total radiation energy of the constellation radar system is minimized while adhering to a specified threshold for the regional weighted detection probability and ensuring full coverage of all beam positions. In this model, the radiation energy for each beam position is treated as a continuous decision variable. The optimized beam-position search tasks are then assigned to specific space-based radars using a quota-aware polling and blind-compensation strategy to form a practical task scheduling scheme. To solve the formulated problem, a regional search performance function based on a fixed total radiation energy is constructed, and a two-step decomposition algorithm is developed. This algorithm combines an outer monotonic bisection search with an inner marginal-gain allocation based on the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker theorem. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm effectively reduces the total radiation energy of the constellation radar system compared to benchmark methods, thereby lowering the cumulative RF exposure level.
