Large Language Models Can Achieve Explainable and Training-Free One-shot HRRP ATR

Signal Processing 2026-03-27 v1

Abstract

This letter introduces a pioneering, training-free and explainable framework for High-Resolution Range Profile (HRRP) automatic target recognition (ATR) utilizing large-scale pre-trained Large Language Models (LLMs). Diverging from conventional methods requiring extensive task-specific training or fine-tuning, our approach converts one-dimensional HRRP signals into textual scattering center representations. Prompts are designed to align LLMs' semantic space for ATR via few-shot in-context learning, effectively leveraging its vast pre-existing knowledge without any parameter update. We make our codes publicly available to foster research into LLMs for HRRP ATR.
