Development of an Improved Radar Augmentation System for the BQM-34A Target Drone.

Abstract

Data were acquired to define the radar cross section characteristics of the BQM-34A target drone equipped with an active radar augmentation system. The program resulted in an improved augmentation system for the BQM-34A target drone. Development of the improved I-Band augmentation system required the location and testing of a number of different antenna combinations and locations. After the determination of optimum antenna systems performance, radar cross section measurements were obtained on the augmented BQM-34A Drone.
