description The paper presents the synthesis and research of a new, more relevant detection model for Small Maritime Targets SMT such as yachts, sailing ships, fishing boats, and fishing cutters. For this purpose, effective reflection surfaces of four types of passive radar reflectors were identified in a special laboratory anechoic chamber. A fluctuation model for small maritime target detection using the Weibull probability distribution was formulated. Analytical and experimental verification of the quality of the developed model was carried out by a comparative assessment of the detection probability of small maritime targets with the use of four types of reflectors for five sea wave states.
