Abstract
A method of determining the presence of a weather or other airborne (non-aircraft) clutter in a radar detection system is disclosed. The method includes feature calculations of a cluster of detections, and characterizing the cluster. Confidence factors are determined from the characterization of a cluster and a determination is made from the confidence factors whether the cluster represents a real aircraft or a false target.
