ABOUT ONE COMMON APPROACH TO ASSESSING THE PROBABILITY OF RADAR TARGET DETECTION

The report raises reasonable doubts that the generally accepted model (Rayleigh distribution of target echo signal amplitudes) reflects the features of the radar characteristics of real targets, since the distribution laws of their probability density of effective scattering areas are specific and, in general, individual for each type of target and sector of angles sightings. As a result of the above reasoning, it becomes obvious that the desired probability distributions must be determined using statistical models based on experimentally recorded diagrams of echo signals of objects and the radiation background.
