This all sounds good! I would encourage you to focus on some parts, and
then expand on how you'd like to develop those.

You'll have higher chances if you focus on something, and make sure you
have a plan that moves all the way from writing some code to spending
time on getting it merged. Are you suggesting to do gr-radar with
machine learning concepts? That could be a very interesting project, but
make sure not to overload your proposal. Also, mentors have to believe
this is a reasonable project load for the 3-ish months of GSoC.
In general, this is going in a good direction. Post a first proposal
draft here, and we'll make sure you get some useful feedback.
Cheers,
Martin
