System for enhanced detection of a target

A method for discriminating of a target from clutter, comprising:

• providing phase-range data associated with a return pulse of a radar device and second phase-range data associated with a subsequent return pulse to a detection device;
• the detection device comparing the phase-range data and the second phase-range data to obtain a difference;
• the detection device differentiating the difference with respect to range;
• the detection device discriminating a target from clutter to generate enhanced target data based on the differentiated difference;
• and
• displaying the enhanced target data on a display.

A method for discrimination of a target from clutter, comprising:

• providing phase-range data associated with a return pulse of a radar device, second phase-range data associated with a subsequent return pulse of the radar device, and amplitude-range data associated with at least one of the return pulse and the subsequent return pulse to a detection device;
• the detection device comparing the phase-range data and the second phase-range data to obtain a difference;
• the detection device creating a subset of coordinates from the amplitude-range data that satisfy an amplitude threshold associated with clutter;
• the detection device building an amplitude mask from the subset;
• the detection device applying the amplitude mask to the difference;
• the detection device differentiating the masked difference with respect to range;
• the detection device discriminating a target from clutter to generate enhanced target data by identifying coordinates from the differentiated masked difference satisfying velocity thresholds associated with the clutter;
• and
• displaying the enhanced target data on a display.
