AB  - A constant false alarm rate (CFAR) target detector in non-homogenous backgrounds 
      is proposed. Based on K-sample Anderson-Darling (AD) tests, the method 
      re-arranges the reference cells by merging homogenous sub-blocks surrounding the 
      cell under test (CUT) into a new reference window to estimate the background 
      statistics. Double partition test, clutter edge refinement and outlier 
      elimination are used as an anti-clutter processor in the proposed Modified AD 
      (MAD) detector. Simulation results show that the proposed MAD test based detector 
      outperforms cell-averaging (CA) CFAR, greatest of (GO) CFAR, smallest of (SO) 
      CFAR, order-statistic (OS) CFAR, variability index (VI) CFAR, and CUT inclusive 
      (CI) CFAR in most non-homogenous situations.
