The problem of detecting weak signals in complex noise situations using projection adaptive algorithms is considered. The existing algorithms are analyzed, and a novel algorithm oriented at detecting weak signals is proposed. Results of the algorithm’s operation are demonstrated in a simulated noise situation consisting of interference signals with different intensities under the assumption of their multipath propagation and scattering. The proposed algorithm is compared with the well-known classical Capon algorithm, and a significant reduction in the contact loss time as applied to a low-noise target near strong interference sources is demonstrated.
