The invention relates to a
radar system error detection method based on cooperative targets, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the calculation in a detection period through employing the obtained position information of a plurality of cooperative targets under a north-east-
sky coordinate
system, and obtaining a measurement
truth value set; acquiring a plurality of actual measurement values of the
radar system on the plurality of cooperative targets; calculating difference values between the plurality of actual measurement values and the measurement
truth value set to obtain a difference value sequence set; performing
data dimension expansion on the difference value sequence set, and performing
generalized likelihood ratio test on the difference value sequence after dimension expansion to obtain a first statistical magnitude under the condition that the
system error is positive and a second statistical magnitude under the condition that the
system error is negative; determining whether a
system error exists or not according to a comparison result of the first statistic or the second statistic and a
detection threshold; and under the condition that the existence of the system error is determined, the
radar system is corrected based on the error
estimation value, and the corrected radar system is obtained. The device can maintain the overall positioning precision of the radar system under various error levels.
