The invention belongs to the technical field of sky wave radar, and relates to a sky wave radar sea clutter suppression method based on chaos sequence prediction. The sky wave radar sea clutter suppression method based on chaos sequence prediction aims to solve the problems that in an existing sky wave radar sea clutter suppression method, due to the fact that target detection of a low-speed naval ship is not satisfactory and depends on relevance of a plurality of clutter reference distance units, engineering practicability is not high, the number of loop iteration times is difficult to select and precision is low. According to the sky wave radar sea clutter suppression method based on chaos sequence prediction, a sea clutter internal chaos dynamical model is obtained by means of a chaos predictor, sea clutters are counteracted in a non-linear prediction method, and a target signal is maintained. The method includes a training process and a work process. In the training process, internal rules of a section of sea clutter signals without a target or with a weak target signal are learnt by means of the predictor; in the work process, prediction and counteraction of the sea clutters are achieved by means of signals of a target unit to be detected via the well trained predictor, and accordingly target information is displayed. The method is suitable for sky wave radar.
