contents The paper is devoted to the study of gravitational radiation in the DGP model of gravity. It includes a detailed analysis of dynamical degrees of freedom of tensionless DGP and their comparison with other related theories. We develop a procedure for constructing the effective energy-momentum tensor of the gravitational field on the brane from the non-local effective action of the DGP model based on the Noether method used to determine the conservation laws corresponding to the symmetries of the action. Using it we construct the effective energy-momentum tensor of the dynamical degrees of freedom of DGP gravity on the brane and obtain the effective four-dimensional gravitational radiation energy flux. We then obtain an analog of the quadrupole formula for the effective gravitational radiation power of an arbitrary non-relativistic source on the brane. We also discuss the possibility of detecting the effect of leakage of gravitational waves into the extra dimension resulting from the metastable character of the effective graviton on the brane. In particular, in accordance with the infrared transparency of the bulk of DGP model, we find that the frequency of gravitational-wave signal controls the effective crossover radius, beyond which the leakage of gravitational waves manifests itself.
