In this paper, we investigate the robust maximum-minimum eigenvalue (MME) detection problem caused by this uncertainty of geometric configuration. Firstly, according to the proposed novel concept of spaceborne cluster flight netted radar (SCFNR) integrated cluster flight spacecraft with netted radar recently, we define the robust detector for the uncertainty of geometric configuration due to the mobility in SCFNR and give the condition about robust MME detector. Using the channel gain matrix in one CPI, the closed-form of the lower bound on the test statistic under the presence of target return, and the upper bound under the absence of target return are given respectively. Secondly, using the mobility model about transmitter-receiver pairs in SCFNR, we give the constraint on the bounded relative distance for robust MME detector in SCFNR. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed constraint is validated through numerical calculations. The results show also that controlling the orbit elements about the transmitter and receiver platforms in SCFNR can make sure the robustness of MME and the relative distance bounded.
