Calculation of Radar Cross Section Aircraft Geometry Methods

Abstract

Geometry description methods have been developed to transform design data of an aircraft configuration into a computer model. The computer model is used as a basis for radar cross section calculations covering the frequency range of 500 to 20,000 MHz. Accomplishments include: development of a quadric surface fitting program, complete analysis of quadric surfaces including intersections with lines, location of scattering centers, calculation of Gaussian curvature and surface zoning.
