The Calculation of Radar Cross-Sections,

Abstract

The object of this report is to provide a detailed description of the methods used in the CHAOS computer program for calculating radar cross-sections. The program is written in FORTRAN. The various physical approximations are described. These help to simplify Maxwell's equations. At first sight these would appear to limit the scattering bodies to open wire structures; however, extensions to surfaces both open and closed follow by further approximation. The numerical methods used to solve these equations are described.
