Abstract

Among several other tasks, the radar of a fighter has to search, track and identify potential targets. The waveforms used by the radar for each of these tasks are most often incompatible and hence, cannot be processed simultaneously. Moreover, these tasks are repeated several times in a cyclic fashion. Altogether, this defines a complex scheduling problem that impacts a lot on the quality of the radar’s output. In [10], a formal framework has been defined for this real time scheduling problem and we have introduced several techniques to compute efficient schedules for the radar. In order to evalutate the quality of these schedules, we present in this paper, two algorithms that compute high lower bounds for the problem. The first one is based upon a column generation scheme, the other one consists in a relaxation of the time-indexed MIP formulation of the problem.
