Abstract: 
Information-theoretic principles provide a rigorous foundation for adaptive radar waveform design in contested and dynamically varying environments. This paper addresses the joint optimization of constant-modulus waveforms to enhance both target detection and parameter estimation concurrently. A unified design framework is developed by maximizing a mutual information upper bound (MIUB), which intrinsically reconciles the tradeoff between detection sensitivity and estimation accuracy without heuristic weighting. Realistic, potentially non-Gaussian statistics of target and clutter returns are modeled using Gaussian mixture distributions (GMDs), enabling tractable closed-form approximations of the MIUBs Kullback-Leibler(KL) divergence and mutual information components. To tackle the ensuing non-convex optimization, a tailored metaheuristic phase-coded dream optimization algorithm (PC-DOA) is proposed, incorporating hybrid initialization and adaptive exploration-exploitation mechanisms for efficient phase-space search. Numerical results substantiate the proposed approach's superiority in achieving favorable detection estimation trade-offs over existing benchmarks.
