In this paper we consider the problem of detecting multiple point-like targets in the presence of steering vector mismatches and Gaussian disturbance with unknown covariance matrix. To this end, we first model the actual useful signal as a vector belonging to a proper cone whose axis coincides with the whitened direction of the nominal array response. Then we develop two new robust adaptive detectors resorting to the two-step generalized-likelihood ratio test (GLRT) design procedure without assignment of a distinct set of secondary data. Finally, a performance assessment, conducted by Monte Carlo simulation, show that the proposed detectors achieve a visible performance improvement over their natural counterparts.
