In this chapter, target detection is considered when data from several scans are available for processing. Cumulative detection probability denotes the probability that a target is detected at least once in M scans. We will compute the cumulative detection probability for targets that are essentially stationary with respect to the radar and for targets with appreciable motion relative to the radar.
