The invention discloses a BVI-CFAR target detection algorithm of a variation index based on Bayesian interference control, and the algorithm comprises the steps: firstly dividing a sliding window into a front detection window and a rear detection window, then dividing the front detection window and the rear detection window into two parts, obtaining four detection windows, then employing the variation index to carry out the analysis of the process of the four sliding windows, judging the position of a window where interference possibly exists, then adopting a Bayesian sliding window interference control method, predicting and compensating window interference, and deducing an expression of the detection process of a Bayesian variation index algorithm. According to the invention, the Bayesian sliding window interference control method is applied to the variation index detection process for the first time, a good multi-target detection effect is achieved, compared with a traditional VI-CFAR algorithm, the invention has the advantages that the problem that the detection probability is greatly reduced when targets appear on the two sides of a VI-CFAR detector is solved, and by means of the application of Bayesian interference control, the influence of interference on the detection process is reduced, the detection performance of the radar in a complex environment and a multi-target environment is improved, and a new method is provided for the CFAR algorithm.
