An introduction to the theory of sliding window detection processes, used as alternatives to optimal Neyman-Pearson based radar detectors, is presented. Included is an outline of their historical development, together with an explanation for the resurgence of interest in such detectors for operation in modern maritime surveillance radar clutter. In particular, recent research has developed criteria that enables one to construct such detection processes with the desired constant false alarm rate property for a comprehensive class of clutter model. The chapter also includes some examples of the performance of such detectors in a specific interference environment.
