Abstract
The performance of moving target detection in heterogeneous environments with the traditional space-time adaptive processing (STAP) may degrade when the real clutter environments deviate from the prior assumption on the clutter distribution. In this letter, a new detector for STAP applications based on volume cross-correlation function (VCF), namely VCF-STAP, is proposed to achieve robust performance of moving target detection in heterogeneous environments. In the new VCF-STAP, the VCF is used to form a distance measure between the sample signal subspace and the target subspace without modeling the clutter distribution. Then, a new robust STAP detection statistic is constructed using this distance measure. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed VCF-STAP achieves robust performance of moving target detection in heterogeneous environments, especially it achieves much superior detection performance compared with existing STAP methods when the real clutter environments do not satisfy their prior assumptions. Besides, it is also shown that VCF-STAP has the constant false alarm rate (CFAR) property.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
