Moving-target indication
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007435
A radar signal processing technique designed to detect and display only targets that are in motion, while suppressing stationary clutter such as ground features or buildings. This method enhances the visibility of moving objects like aircraft or precipitation by filtering out unwanted echoes. It is widely used in weather radar and air traffic control systems.
