Radar Target Signature Program Performance Specification.

Abstract

This report is a Program Performance Specification (PPS) for a digital computer program that calculates the radar signatures of ships. The PPS will be used to guide the program through three development phases and acceptance testing. The primary objectives of the program are accuracy, flexibility of application, ease of modeling, and portability. The ship is modeled by identifying and defining all the geometrical shapes which cause radar scattering and coherently adding the signals from all the appropriate ones. The program will handle far-field, near-field, and bistatic geometries; antenna patterns; radar absorbing material; and high range resolution effects.
