The search for low-altitude targets becomes a more challenging task for airborne phased array radar, due to the limited system resources and serious ground clutter. In this article, an optimal search strategy using the digital elevation model (DEM) is proposed to allow for a fast and high-probability searches for low-altitude targets. First, a clutter-free detection region is formed by introducing the DEM. Compared with the traditional methods, the detection probability of the low-altitude targets can be improved. Second, the search problem is transformed into a constrained multiobjective optimization problem. The proposed strategy can simultaneously minimize the search time and maximize the target detection probability. Finally, two intelligent evolutionary algorithms are compared to verify the proposed strategy, and the proposed strategy is also testified by utilizing real DEM data of Dujiangyan, Sichuan, China. Simulated results indicate that the proposed optimal search framework improves the detection probability and reduces time cost for low-altitude targets.
