Electromagnetic Wave Scattering by Aerial and Ground Radar Objects

Introduction

Analysis of existing and future weapon systems, of available scientific publications, of research programs (stealth program for instance), as well as of the local war experiences shows the special place that scattering (secondary radiation) characteristics of different air assault means (aircraft, cruise missiles, etc.) and of ground military objects (tanks, armored personnel carriers, etc.) take in the process of armaments and military equipment development. Sometimes the term radar visibility is used with regard to these objects [1]. It is worth mentioning that for military radar aimed at detecting aerial objects, information on scattering characteristics of not only air assault means but also of civilian aircraft is vital. ...
