One of the most important tasks of a medium range naval radar is to detect, as soon as possible, any object which could become a threat for the ship it is settled on, or any other ship it has to protect. This problem has not a simple solution if we consider that threatening objects (like missiles), don't have usually a large reflectivity power and that sea clutter environment can bring heavy disturbing signals. The efficiency of the protection provided by the radar depends on its ability to detect small targets (good detection probability) and to eliminate non-interesting echoes (severe false alarm rate). This paper describes the processing designed, for a new radar, the purpose of which is to operate in such conditions, and displays some simulation results about it. The input data of simulations are signals which were recorded at the output of the D/A converter of a similar equipment working in operational conditions.
