Clutter is radar return energy that is <strong>not the target you actually want to detect</strong>, but still appears on the radar and competes for attention.</p> <p>In plain language, clutter is the unwanted background of radar sensing.</p> <p>If the radar is looking for an aircraft, drone, or vehicle, then echoes from terrain, buildings, waves, rain, birds, or other irrelevant objects may all act as clutter. These returns can hide the target, confuse the tracker, or increase false alarms.</p>
