Abstract
With the continuous expansion of the application field of artificial intelligence, radar data processing has also begun to fully enter the era of intelligence, and new achievements have emerged in the research fields of target detection, target tracking, and target recognition. At a time of rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, it is necessary to think about the future development of radar data intelligent processing. To this end, combining the research history and the superficial understanding of radar data intelligent processing in the past ten years, our team analyzes the main research progress and challenges of radar data intelligent processing, examines the new requirements for autonomous, multi-modal, and multi-mode radar data intelligent processing, and explores new opportunities in the era of large models, etc. Furthermore, along a research path of ``1 domain foundation model + 3 core task models + N typical application implementations'', the research conceptions and main contents of radar data large model are put forward in order to enable the research of intelligent radar.
