The document discusses a Cell Averaging Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) system for radar detection. It maintains a constant false alarm rate across filters by independently computing an average magnitude for each filter's range cells. Using more range cells improves the CFAR threshold but the sample cannot be too large to prevent timely threshold responses. The system also detects valid stationary targets above a clutter map's stored nominal zero velocity return thresholds.
