In particular we extend the results obtained for the cell averaging CA order statistics OS and censored mean level CMLD CFAR processors operating in positive alpha-stable P S random variables to more general situations specifically to the presence of interfering targets and distributed CFAR detectors. The receiver operating characteristics of the greatest of GO and the smallest of SO CFAR processors are also determined. The performance characteristics of distributed systems are presented and compared in both homogeneous and in presence of interfering targets. We demonstrate via simulation results that the distributed systems when the clutter is modelled as positive alpha-stable distribution offer robustness properties against multiple target situations especially when using the OR fusion rule.

INTRODUCTION In radar detection the goal is to automatically detect a target in a nonstationary noise and clutter while maintaining a constant probability of false alarm. Classical detection using a matched filter receiver and a fixed threshold is no longer applicable due to the nonstationary nature of
