Claim 10:
11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for improving detection ground moving targets using a post-pulse compressed data space time adaptive processing (Pμ-STAP) technique, the operations comprising:
receiving one or more input radar waveforms at a radar detection system;
processing the one or more input radar waveforms to produce a pulse compressed datacube;
applying a plurality of homogenization filters to the pulse compressed datacube to produce a plurality of homogenized pulse compressed datacubes;
generating, by the radar detection system, an output covariance matrix based on the plurality of homogenized pulse compressed datacubes;
executing a partial adaptation process against the output covariance matrix;
initiating space-time adaptive processing with respect to the pulse compressed datacube and an output of the partial adaptation process to identify one or more candidate targets of interest, wherein the space-time adaptive processing is configured to identify one or more candidate targets of interest by filtering the pulse compressed datacube based on the output of the partial adaptation process; and
detecting one or more targets of interest from among the one or more candidate targets of interests identified by the space-time adaptive processing.
