Target turning maneuvering is always accompanied with the rapid attitude variations, which are helpful to achieve high cross-range resolution for pulsed coherent radar. Thus, it is feasible to detect target turning maneuver using the high resolution Doppler profile (HRDP). The preliminaries concerning the HRDP are first introduced, including its formulation, extraction requirements, and procedure. The principle of turning maneuver detection using the HRDP is then fully explored. A novel detector
