METHOD OF RADAR SHIP IDENTIFICATION Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01S13/02 G01S13/52 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in on-board radar stations (OBRS) with synthesizing the antenna aperture for identifying surface objects (ships). The specified result is achieved due to the fact that the radar (RL) image of a section of the sea surface with a detected RL mark, indicating the presence of an object on the sea surface, is subjected to processing using reference matrices containing images of RL shadows formed by ships and obtained on the basis of information on the form and location of the ship relative to the OBRS, and based on the results of this processing, a decision is made on the identity of the detected object to one ship out of a given list of ships to be identified.

EFFECT: identification of ships on the sea surface, regardless of the characteristics of direct radar reflections from the elements of its structure, while the characteristic feature of the method is an increase in the probability of correct identification when the sea surface disturbance increases.
