1. A method for controlling transmissions of a cognitive radar system, the method comprising the steps of:
- transmitting a first plurality of transmittal signals by a cognitive radar system of a vehicle, the cognitive radar system having at least a first modality;
receiving sensor data from one or more sensors having a second modality that is different from the first modality;
identifying, via a processor, an object for tracking based on the sensor data;
determining, via the processor, a classification as to a type of the object based on the sensor data;
selecting, via the processor, an adjusted waveform for a second plurality of transmittal signals for transmission by the cognitive radar system, based on the determined type of the object using the sensor data; and
tracking the object, via the processor, using the adjusted waveform for the second plurality of transmittal signals transmitted by the cognitive radar system based on the determined type of the object as determined using the sensor data.

Abstract
Methods and systems for a vehicle cognitive radar are provided. The system includes a transmitter is configured to transmit a first plurality of transmittal signals for a cognitive radar system of a vehicle, the cognitive radar system having at least a first modality. An interface is configured to receive sensor data from one or more sensors having a second modality that is different from the first modality. A processor is coupled to the interface, and is configured to select an adjusted waveform for a second plurality of transmittal signals for the cognitive radar system using the sensor data.
