This research article is devoted to studying and applying polarization selection for navigation objects in difficult atmospheric conditions. It provides a novel application of Stokes parameters in radar signal processing for navigation objects, validated by experimental data. The main emphasis is on using the statistical properties of the polarization parameters of partially polarized echo signals. The article discusses in detail the statistical properties of the polarization parameters of partially polarized echo signals, which can be used to improve the accuracy of ship radiolocation systems. The study is based on analyzing experimental data collected in various atmospheric conditions. The results indicate the effectiveness of polarization selection in improving the stability and accuracy of radar navigation systems in various atmospheric conditions. The use of statistical methods allows the navigation system to adapt to changing conditions, ensuring reliability in different scenarios. Polarization selection based on the statistical properties of polarization parameters is a promising method to improve navigation in high atmospheric humidity, fog, and other complex atmospheric conditions. It can be used in the development of modern navigation systems.
