Abstract. Fast development of the fractal theory in radar and radio physics led to establishing of the new theoretical direction in modern radar. It can be described as «Statistical theory of fractal radar». The new kind and approach of up-to-date radiolocation: fractal-scaling or scale-invariant radiolocation has been proposed. The main ideas and strategic directions in synthesis of fundamentally new topological radar detectors of low-contrast objects have been considered. The new topologic signs and methods of detection of low-contrast objects against the background of high-intensity noise are presented. The methods are based on the textural and fractal analysis and also on the theory of deterministic chaos. The main purpose of the work is to interpret the main directions of radio physics, radio engineering and radio location in “fractal” language that makes new ways and generalizations promising radio systems in future. The author raised the foregoing problems as early as in 1980 and for more than 35 years he has been successfully working on their solution and development.
