Abstract

The present invention pertains to methods for managing resources in radar time, that is to say methods making it possible to manage in an optimal manner the scheduling of the boresightings performed.The method according to the invention firstly consists in supplying a table containing candidate boresightings. These candidate boresightings are those corresponding to the boresighting requests to be taken into account by the radar. Each boresighting is associated with a set of candidate frequencies, chosen from among the set of authorized frequencies, each set being defined specifically for each candidate boresighting. The candidate frequencies are determined so as to guarantee a diversity of the frequencies which are emitted by the radar, all boresightings taken together. The management of the boresighting requests takes into account in a dynamic manner the variations in the rotation speed of the antenna.The method thereafter consists in selecting from the table, through various steps, a candidate boresighting and for this selected boresighting, one of the candidate frequencies with which it is associated. This selected (boresighting, frequency) pair is transmitted to the means charged with undertaking the emission of the corresponding wave.The invention applies in particular to the management of the boresightings by a surveillance radar with dispersive slot antenna.
