The Application of Game Theory in Radar Countermeasures

Wenjie Yang, Weimin Jia, Jianwei Zhao, Fang He, Wei Jin

Abstract


In recent years, radar technology has rapid and continuous development. Confrontation among radars has become increasingly
fierce, posing challenges in effectively jamming radars in modern electronic warfare. In the current complex electronic countermeasure environment, the key issue in radar countermeasure research is whether the jammer can identify the anti-jamming strategies adopted by the radar
and promptly select effective jamming strategies to seize the war initiative. Game theory offers a method for game participants to choose the
most advantageous strategies under given constraints, which is applicable even when they are unaware of the opponents actions. Electronic
confrontation between radars can be regarded as a game. Therefore, game theory can be employed to study radar anti-jamming and jammer
interference decision making. In this study, an electronic countermeasure model of the jammer against the enemys radar was developed, considering the scenario of a missile-accompanied jammer penetrating the enemys naval fleet and jamming its networked radars. A game confrontation model was constructed based on the different jamming and anti-jamming strategies of both sides. Finally, by leveraging the Nash equilibrium
theorem in game theory, the optimal jamming strategy of the jammer was calculated to achieve the best jamming effect in this context.
