Abstract :
A composite CFAR (constant false alarm rate) technique that uses CACFAR for a homogeneous environment and adaptively switches to an alternate CFAR technique for nonhomogeneity is synthesized. The influence of switching level upon CFAR loss is established. The loss is evaluated and graphed for the OSCFAR alternate technique
