EC4630: Radar Cross Section Prediction and Reduction - NPS Online
Radar Cross Section Prediction and Reduction
Course #EC4630
Est.imated Completion Time: 3 months
POC: NPS Online Support
Overview
This course covers the design and engineering aspects of stealth and its impact on platform and sensor design. Signature prediction methods in the radar, infrared (IR), and laser frequency bands are discussed. Radar cross section (RCS) analysis methods include geometrical optics and diffraction theory, physical optics and the physical theory of diffraction, and numerical solutions to integral and differential equations. Prediction methods for IR and laser cross sections (LCS) are also introduced. Signature reduction by shaping, materials selection, and active and passive cancellation are applied to each frequency regime. The measurement of these cross sections is also covered.
