Radar Cross Section Measurements of a BQM-34F Target Drone. Volume IIIb.

Abstract

Static radar cross section data were acquired from a BQM-34F remotely piloted vehicle (RPV) at the U. S. Air Force Radar Target Scatter Facility, (RAT SCAT), 6585th Test Group, Holloman AFB, New Mexico. The BQM-34F vehicle was configured to provide comparison data for several combinations of RCS and/or Infrared (IR) augmentation pods. Both monostatic and 10 degree bistatic data were obtained for eight vehicle roll angles and six vehicle pitch angles. Horizontal and vertical polarizations were used at a frequency of 9130 MHz. The report contains a description of the measurement conditions as well as reproductions of the raw and processed data acquired. (Modified author abstract)
