Because the size of the UAV platform limits the transmitting power of its own radar, how to reduce the transmitting power while meeting the detection accuracy is necessary. Aim at multiple-target tracking (MTT), a joint radar node selection and power allocation algorithm for radar networks is proposed. The algorithm first uses fuzzy logic reasoning (FLR) to obtain the priority of targets to radars, and designs a radar clustering algorithm based on the priority to form several subradar networks. The radar clustering algorithm simplifies the problem of multiple-radar tracking multiple-target into several problems of multiple-radar tracking a single target, which avoids complex calculations caused by multiple variables in the objective function of joint radar node selection and power allocation model. Considering the uncertainty of the target RCS in practice, the chance-constraint programming (CCP) is used to balance power resource and tracking accuracy. Through the joint radar node selection and power allocation algorithm, the radar networks can use less power resource to achieve a given tracking performance, which is more suitable for working on drone platforms. Finally, the simulation proves the effectiveness of the algorithm.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20051371","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,3]],"date-time":"2020-03-03T13:06:23Z","timestamp":1583240783000},"page":"1371","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Joint Sensor Selection and Power Allocation Algorithm for Multiple-Target Tracking of Unmanned Cluster Based on Fuzzy Logic Reasoning"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Yuanshi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing 211106, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Minghai","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing 211106, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qinghua","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing 211106, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"15","article-title":"Present situation and key technologies of unmanned cooperative operation under intelligent air combat system","volume":"18","author":"Huang","year":"2019","journal-title":"Navig.
