Radar signal processing requires the implementation of constant false alarm rate detection processes, as they serve as an alternative to optimal Neyman-Pearson-based decision rules. These detection strategies can be effectively implemented as a sliding window process that operates on a radar range-Doppler map, allowing for real-time monitoring and analysis. In this comprehensive book, the development of such detectors is explored within a modern framework. With a particular emphasis on high resolution X-band maritime surveillance radar, recent approaches are outlined and critically examined. The performance of these detectors is assessed when subjected to real X-band radar clutter, providing valuable insights into their effectiveness. Furthermore, the book introduces relevant mathematical tools to facilitate the reader's understanding of the development process and its practical implementation. By delving into these topics, this book offers valuable insights into the field of radar signal processing and its applications in modern surveillance systems.
