Genetic algorithms have proven to be useful tools in optimizing complex problems with large solution spaces. Radar waveform selection is a challenging problem that may benefit from the use of genetic algorithms. Furthermore, advances in the areas of waveform diversity, multistatic radars and knowledgeaided radars are making waveform selection even more challenging. As a design tool we used genetic algorithms to perform waveform selection utilizing the autocorrelation and ambiguity functions in the fitness evaluation. Monostatic, bistatic and multistatic notional examples are presented and early results indicate that genetic algorithms can provide a useful and effective tool in waveform selection for a variety of radar configurations.
