This special session focuses on advanced technologies in radar target detection, tracking, and recognition. It aims to explore novel theories, methods, and applications under challenging conditions, including complex moving targets, strong clutter and interference, and low-observable targets. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: moving target detection, tracking, and recognition; knowledge-aided target detection and tracking; intelligent target recognition; interference suppression and target enhancement; multi-feature fusion for target recognition; cognitive radar information processing; waveform design for target detection; MIMO Radar Target Detection. We cordially invite experts, scholars, and researchers in related fields to submit their latest work and contribute to the exploration of new theories, methodologies, and application horizons in radar intelligent sensing technology.
