In the complex marine environment, traditional detectors based on the classifiers cannot guarantee the global false alarm control. In this article, we propose a detector based on dual channel convolutional neural network (DC-CNN) and global false alarm controllable adaptive boosting tree (GFAC-A), which is shortened as DC-CNN-GFAC-A. DC-CNN focuses on the correlation features of radar echoes in time domain and frequency domain, better uses multidimensional features, and shows a better feature extraction ability. Through the application of GFAC-A, the false alarm rate is introduced into the algorithm combining decision tree and AdaBoost to achieve the high-performance detection of global false alarm controllable for high-dimensional features. It is heuristics. The combination of DC-CNN and GFAC-A solves the disadvantage that current classifiers cannot meet the conditions of good performance and low false alarm. First, the connectivity information is obtained by using the frequency-domain amplitude characteristics of radar echo data, and the recursive information is obtained by using the nonlinear recursive time series characteristics, and the dual-channel datasets of targets and clutter are built. Then, DC-CNN is built to extract and fuse high-dimensional features to obtain feature vectors of targets and clutter. Besides, the performance comparison of different neural network model combinations is carried out. Finally, compared with the traditional threshold-controllable classifiers, the proposed GFAC-A classifier achieves the high detection performance under the global controlled false alarm. The results show that DC-CNN-GFAC-A can achieve 96.491% detection accuracy when the false alarm rate is $10^{\mathbf {-3}}$ , which is superior to other detections.
