Abstract
The performance of a proposed Cognitive Radar detection method is investigated and compared again conventional CFAR detection for the case of detection of small targets in simulated Sea Clutter. The proposed method attempts to compare the local clutter statistics with the overall recent statistics and use this knowledge, coupled with existing external knowledge of CFAR performance in sea clutter, to optimally set CFAR window length. A gain in minimal SCR for a specific detection rate was observed for a range of simulated sea clutter conditions, which could then be utilized to either reduce false alarm rate for a specific detection rate, or to maintain false alarm rate and increase detection rate (as compared to a conventional detector).
