IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems, Volume 57, Issue 1, February 2021, pp. 659 - 6730018-9251https://doi.org/10.1109/TAES.2020.3031435http://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/16021Understanding the decision-making process of deep learning networks is a key challenge which has rarely been investigated for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. In this paper, a set of new analytical tools is proposed and applied to a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) handling Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) on two SAR datasets containing military targets.enAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Deep LearningSARATRExplainabilityFeaturesArticle
