Non-Cooperative Target Identification based on High Resolution Range Profiles is a key research domain in the Defense industry. In this paper a method based on the application of Singular Value Decomposition to a matrix of range profiles is defined. The decomposition is applied to reduce dimensionality and to accomplish recognition in the transformed domain. So as to confirm the feasibility of the methodology, identification experiments of profiles coming from electromagnetic simulations are conducted, revealing promising results.
