Abstract: A method and system for real-time and automated detection and classification of aerial objects, such as e.g. UAVs, on a radar plot level from digital radar images, wherein the digital radar images are created from radar return signals obtained by a conventional radar such as e.g. a continuous wave radar (e.g. FMCW radar), a phased-array radar, or a pulse radar, as opposed to using specialized micro-Doppler radars for classifying UAVs based on the Doppler effect created by the rotors or propellers of the UAVs. Further, the method and system allow for tracking the UAVs based on the digital radar images.
