A translation of a Russian paper on the sequential detection of signals with undnown parameters from a rigorous decision theory point of view. Solutions are given for the design and performance of optimum tests in a number of interesting cases, including both discrete and continuous observations. Of particular interest in radar operation is a solution for the sequential scanning of a radar beam through a number of positions in azimuth, when the true location of the desired target is unknown.
