Advancements in communication and information-processing technologies are driving an interest in networked radar systems, which are capable of compensating for the weaker attributes of the individual radars in the network. The role of a network of radar systems is to perform joint assessment of a surveillance region by fusing data generated at the individual radar nodes. To achieve best possible performance for the network, it is necessary to optimally configure the network and allocate its finite resources, such as radar time/energy budget, bandwidth, communication capacity and processing capacity. This chapter describes sensor and resources management techniques that can be applied to radar networks, focussing on radar network measurement scheduling and networked radar quality of service-based resources management.
