Abstract
Litton Systems Canada Limited is engaged in a program of collecting and analyzing sea clutter data for the purpose of developing improved target detection algorithms for its airborne X-band maritime surveillance radar. Limited amounts of high-resolution clutter data have been recorded. Statistical analyses have reconfirmed known characteristics of clutter, and have revealed new information, particularly as it relates to the specific pulses and processing techniques used by this type of radar. Some of these results are presented, and preliminary interpretations are offered
