A doubly adapative constant false alarm rate (CFAR) apparatus utilizing a doubly adaptive detector which is based upon the use of an auxiliary parallel adaptive detector in addition to the conventional main adaptive detector. The auxiliary adaptive detector has a lower threshold setting. The threshold crossing rate of the auxiliary detector, which depends upon the clutter statistics, is used to adjust the base multiplier setting of the main detector.

A doubly adaptive constant false alarm rate detector apparatus comprising in combination: a shift register having a plurality of stages, said shift register receiving a digital input signal, each stage of said plurality of stages having an output, a stage one being selected to provide a first target output, said stage one being located substantially in the center of said plurality of stages, a stage two which is located subsequent to said stage one, being selected to provide a second target output, a summing unit connected to said shift register to receive the output from each stage in said plurality of stages excluding stages one and two, said summing unit summing the outputs from said shift register to provide a total sum, said summing unit including a dividing means, said dividing means dividing said total sum by the number of stages in said shift register to provide a mean output, a first detection means receiving said mean output, said first detection means receiving said second target output, said first detection means providing a first threshold signal in response to said mean output, said first detection means comparing said first threshold signal and said target output to provide a target level signal, said first detection means providing a control signal in response to said target level signal, and a second detection means receiving said mean output, said second detection means receiving said control signal, said second detection means receiving a constant factor, said second detection means multiplying said means output first by said control signal and then by said constant factor to provide a second threshold signal, said second detection means receiving said first target output, said second detection means comparing said first target output and said second threshold signal to provide a target detection signal in response to the signal comparison.
