The detection performance of high-frequency surface-wave radar (HFSWR) is closely related to the suppression effect of sea clutter. To effectively suppress sea clutter, a sea clutter suppression method based on radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) optimized by improved gray wolf optimization (IGWO) algorithm is proposed. Firstly, according to shortcomings of the standard gray wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm, such as slow convergence speed and easily getting into local optimum, an adaptive division of labor search strategy is proposed, which makes the population have abilities of both large-scale search and local exploration in the entire optimization process. Then, the IGWO algorithm is used to optimize RBFNN, finally, establishing a sea clutter prediction model (IGWO-RBFNN) and realizing the prediction and suppression of sea clutter. Experiments show that the IGWO algorithm has significantly improved convergence speed and optimization accuracy. Compared with the particle swarm algorithm with linear decreasing weight strategy (LDWPSO) and the GWO algorithm, the RBFNN prediction model optimized by the IGWO algorithm has higher prediction accuracy and has a better suppression effect on sea clutter of HFSWR.

A method for evaluating Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence and Squared Hellinger (SH) distance between empirical data and a model distribution is proposed. This method exclusively utilises the empirical Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of the data and the CDF of the model, avoiding data processing such as histogram binning. The proposed method converges almost surely, with the proof based on the use of exponentially distributed waiting times.

A complete framework of predicting the attributes of sea clutter under different operational conditions, specified by wind speed, wind direction, grazing angle, and polarization, is proposed for the first time. This framework is composed of empirical spectra to characterize sea-surface profiles under different wind speeds, the Monte Carlo method to generate realizations of sea-surface profiles, the physical-optics method to compute the normalized radar cross-sections (NRCSs) from individual sea-surface realizations, and regression of NRCS data (sea clutter) with an empirical probability density function (PDF) characterized by a few statistical parameters. JONSWAP and Hwang ocean-wave spectra are adopted to generate realizations of sea-surface profiles at low and high wind speeds, respectively.

Hypersonic target detection based on infrared intensity characteristics is easily disturbed by sea surface and cloud flares when detected by space-based optical systems, which results in a low detection rate, high false alarm, and difficulty in stable detection. This paper explores a method to improve target detection performance based on the correlation of infrared radiation, multi-spectral and polarization. Firstly, the comprehensive factors that influence complex ambient illumination, atmospheric transmission, and clutter background on spectral-polarization characteristics of hypersonic targets are analyzed.
