Abstract：The lack of feature data and the poor extending capability of the radar target recognition algorithms are two main problems for the radar sea target recognition, which have attracted many researches. This paper reviews the studies of the radar sea target recognition in two aspects, namely, the electro-magnetic modeling and the radar target classification algorithms. For the analysis of sea target electromagnetic behaviors, the review is focused on both the measurement and the modeling of the electro-magnetic scattering. For the radar sea target recognition technologies, the review covers the methods based on the narrow band, the high resolution range, and the high resolution images. The developments of the radar sea target recognition technologies are predicted based on the available researches.
