A CLUTTER-ANALYSIS-BASED STAP FOR MOVING FOD DETECTION ON RUNWAYS

A Clutter-Analysis-Based STAP for Moving FOD Detection on Runways

Security risks and economic losses of civil aviation caused by Foreign Object Debris (FOD) have increased rapidly.Synthetic Aperture Radars e-port power connecting wire (SARs) with high resolutions potentially have the capability to detect FODs on the runways, but the target echo is hard to be distinguished from strong clutter.This paper proposes a
