Abstract

Efficient radar resource allocation is a fundamental yet computationally challenging problem, as optimal solutions typically require iterative optimization with high complexity. Motivated by the need for real-time scheduling, robust generalization, and low data dependency, this paper proposes a novel paradigm that leverages large language model (LLM)-guided evolutionary search (AlphaEvolve) to autonomously discover a closed-form power allocation solution for multi-target tracking. The approach encodes high-dimensional radar states into physically inspired features, then evolves a compact and interpretable scoring function, which is transformed to feasible power allocations via a deterministic constraint-satisfying transformation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the discovered closed-form solution achieves near-optimal tracking accuracy (average relative performance loss of only 1.51%1.51\%), reliable generalization across diverse scenarios and target counts, and over three orders of magnitude speedup compared to conventional iterative solvers. These results highlight the potential of LLM-guided symbolic search to revolutionize not only radar resource management but also broader classes of engineering optimization problems.
