Future challenges
The idea of automatic target recognition often conjures up visions of a completely general system that is able to classify all manner of different vehicle types in the most difficult of clutter environments. This then naturally leads to some scepticism that reliable radar ATR can ever be achieved. However, in reality the concept of ATR actually describes a continuum of problems of varying degrees of difficulty from very constrained scenarios to a completely general recognition system. The aim of ongoing radar ATR research is to push the boundaries in terms of difficulty and complexity level to provide greater capability in future radar systems. Some of the key future challenges, which must be faced in order to achieve this, will now be discussed.
