Radar maneuvering target detection in clutter background should not only consider the complex characteristics of the target to accumulate its energy as much as possible, but also suppress clutter to improve the signal-to-clutter ratio (SCR). The traditional fractional domain transform-based detection method requires parameters match searching, which costs heavy computational burden in case of a large amount of data. Sparse FT and sparse fractional FT can obtain high-resolution sparse representation of the target, but the signal sparsity needs to be known before, and the sparse representation performance is poor in clutter background. In this article, adaptive filtering method is introduced into the sparse fractional ambiguity function (SFRAF) method, and a SFRAF domain adaptive clutter suppression and highly maneuvering target detection algorithm is proposed, which is named as adaptive SFRAF (ASFRAF). The ASFRAF domain iterative filtering operation can suppress the clutter while retaining the signal energy as much as possible. Simulation results and measured radar data processing results show that the proposed algorithm can overcome the limitation of the SFRAF on the sparsity preset value and achieve high efficiency and robust detection of high-order phase maneuvering targets under a low SCR environment.
