Abstract

This paper introduces a real, unmodified Many-Objective optimisation problem for use in optimisation algorithm benchmarking. The radar waveform design problem has 9 objectives and an integer decision space that can be scaled from 4 to 12 decision variables. Proprietary radar waveform design software has been encapsulated in a fast and portable form to facilitate research groups in studying high-order optimisation of real engineering problems.
