Abstract: Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) is a technique that is used in primary radar to identify a given target using its radar signature and High Range Resolution (HRR) profile among other targets.ATR is essential in surveillance systems which have no supporting Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) system .in this paper correlation methodology has been proposed to detect the intended target. The methodology has been tested and confirmed using correlation coefficient method to compare the results of each of the methods. Computer simulation are presented for the proposed recognition system, applying modeling of targets using MATLAB.
