Abstract Radar systems are a topic of great interest, especially due to their extensive range of applications and ability to operate in all weather conditions. Modern radars have high requirements such as its resolution, accuracy and robustness, depending on the application. Noise Radar Technology (NRT) has the upper hand when compared to conventional radar technology in several characteristics. Its robustness to jamming, low Mutual Interference and low probability of intercept are good examples of these advantages. However, its signal processing is more complex than that associated to a conventional radar. Artificial Intelligence (AI)‐based signal processing is getting increasing attention from the research community. However, there is yet not much research on these methods for noise radar signal processing. The aim of the authors is to provide general information regarding the research performed on radar systems using AI and draw conclusions about the future of AI in noise radar. The authors introduce the use of AI‐based algorithms for NRT and provide results for its use.
