A method of processing a radar hit from an object using, for each of a plurality of cells, a signal strength threshold, a hit rate threshold, a time of last detection; and receiving, for one of the plurality of cells corresponding to the object, a measured signal strength, a measured hit rate and a time of measurement. The object is identified as clutter if the measured hit rate is greater than the hit rate threshold, and the measured signal strength is less than signal strength threshold. The signal strength threshold is above a conventional CFAR signal threshold. Measured Doppler strength may also be used to identify clutter. Identification can be determined using Doppler-polarity-specific data values. The hit rate and the mean Doppler speed of the one of the plurality of cells can be updated using a running average.
