Nowadays, more and more applications deal with increasing dimensions. Thus, it seems relevant to exploit the appropriated tools as the random matrix theory in the large dimensional regime. More particularly, in the specific array processing applications as the STAP and MIMO-STAP radar applications, we were interested in the treatment of a signal of interest corrupted by an additive noise composed of a low rang noise and a white Gaussian. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to study the low rank filtering and detection (function of projectors) in the large dimensional regime for array processing with random matrix theory tools.This thesis has three main contributions in the context of asymptotic analysis of projector functionals. Thus, the large dimensional regime first allows to determine an approximation/prediction of theoretical non asymptotic performance, much more precise than the literature in the classical asymptotic regime (when the number of estimation data tends to infinity at a fixed dimension). Secondly, two new low rank adaptive filters and detectors have been proposed and it has been shown that they have better performance as a function of the system parameters, in terms of SINR loss, false alarm probability and detection probability. Finally, the results have been validated on a jamming application and have been secondly applied to the STAP and sparse MIMO-STAP processings. Hence, the study highlighted a noticeable difference with the jamming application, related to the covariance matrix models concerned by this thesis.
