Abstract: An ad hoc approach denoted as devoid clutter capture and filling (DeCCaF) that addresses the nonstationarity effects that arise when input radar waveform returns exhibiting dynamic spectra variations are processed to combat dynamic RFI is disclosed. Portions of the spectra of each input waveform return of a set of input radar waveform returns processed during the CPI may be filled with clutter information borrowed from other waveform returns of the set of waveform returns. DeCCaF may combined with an appropriate filter (e.g., a matched filter, a mismatched filter) to achieve results that are nearly indistinguishable from input radar waveform returns in which no spectral variation are present.
