Chaotic characterization of sea clutter: new experimental results and novel applications

The paper begins by summarizing previously reported research findings on the chaotic characterization of sea clutter, obtained using an instrument-quality radar. Then, after a brief review of chaos theory, experimental results are presented using data recorded from two commercial marine radars. These new results provide further confirmation that sea clutter is indeed chaotic. The paper finishes by presenting novel applications on clutter simulation and clutter cancellation that build on the chaotic character of sea clutter.
