Radar tracking of aircraft targets at low elevation angles can be complicated by clutter from wind turbines, which we define to be clutter. In this paper, we study detection in a staring pulse-Doppler radar. By exploiting the second-order correlation structure of this wind-turbine clutter we derive a target detector that uses a sequence of adaptive coherence scores. The detector uses a multipulse coherence statistic consisting of an incoherent geometric average of coherently computed adaptive coherence scores. The detector compares favorably to a multipulse coherence detector that uses no modeling or estimation of the clutter.
