Automatic Radar Target Identification Using Neural Networks

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Automatic radar target identification is a very difficult task because data are very noisy and very few is known to decide which part of the signal is important. Identification techniques could help to build more efficient radars but also to better understand how this signal could be interpreted. We present here some connectionist techniques that have been tested on this task. They offer rather good identification rate but do not yet permit to understand the hidden structure of the signal.
