In this paper, a joint maritime moving target detection and imaging approach, referred to as the fast inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging approach, based on the multi-resolution space−time adaptive processing (STAP), is proposed to improve the target detection performance and the target imaging efficiency in an airborne radar system. In the target detection stage, the sub-band STAP is introduced to improve the robustness of clutter suppression and to enhance the target output power with the decreased range resolution, by which the coarse estimation of target range-Doppler (R-D) location is obtained as the prior knowledge. In the following target imaging stage, the ISAR imaging is applied in the localized R-D zone surrounding with the target location. However, it is difficult to directly apply ISAR imaging with the conventional R-D algorithm because the slow-moving maritime target cannot be separated from the clutter interference in the Doppler frequency dimension. In this regard, the full-band STAP is applied in the R-D two-dimensional frequency domain for the simultaneous clutter suppression and high-resolution ISAR imaging, in which the envelope alignment and phase compensation are achieved by adaptive match filtering with the target Doppler frequency coarse estimation. Moreover, the reduced-dimension STAP applied in the target-surrounded localized Doppler frequency zone gives facilities for alleviating the computation burden. Simulation results corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
