Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a highly flexible radar system which can obtain medium- to high-resolution images of large areas of Earth. Spaceborne or airborne SAR can be operated all day and almost independently of weather conditions. Due to these advantages, it has been widely used in various areas of aviation and aerospace Earth observation and intelligence reconnaissance, as well as environmental remote sensing and resource exploration.
The detection and tracking of SAR targets have been the subject of long-term research in the field of SAR; however, due to the complexity of target characteristics and interference from the surrounding environment, the detection and tracking of SAR targets face significant challenges. With improvements in the resolution, noise, geolocation and image quality in the latest SAR system, there is more room for research on the applications of synthetic aperture radar in target detection.
This Special Issue of Remote Sensing, “Applications of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) in Target Detection”, is dedicated to the recent advances, challenges and future research priorities in the study of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology and its applications in target detection, with an emphasis on the following topics:
- SAR target modeling;
- SAR clutter and interference suppression techniques;
- SAR target detection and tracking in the environment;
- SAR target detection and tracking in resource exploration.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
