Résumé : | The report details new developments towards the characterisation of sea clutter at medium and high grazing angles and contributes to a better understanding of the statistical and spectral behaviour of radar backscatter collected under these regimes. Potential approaches for achieving improved detection performance at steep grazing angles are examined through the application of various detection strategies to real world data sets. The application of coherent processing techniques to the maritime environment is examined and shown to have the potential to provide significant detection performance gains. However, the complexity of the coherent clutter response raises challenges with respect to achieving the desired Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) performance. Future research efforts are recommended to improve characterisation and modelling of the spectral response of the clutter and to develop new CFAR coherent detection algorithms. |
