The recent public release of high resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data collected by the DARPA/AFRL Moving and Stationary Target Acquisition and Recognition (MSTAR) program has provided a unique opportunity to promote and assess progress in SAR ATR algorithm development. This paper will suggest general principles to follow and report on a specific ATR performance experiment using these principles and this data. The principles and experiments are motivated by AFRL experience with the evaluation of the MSTAR ATR.
