SCI-1000 Evaluation

Abstract

The SCI-1000 is capable of recording calibrated RCS data at data rates sufficient to measure dynamic targets in frequency bands of interest. The system has sufficient sensitivity as tested to measure moderate RCS targets at distances to a nautical mile. With some modification, this lightweight system may be used to measure total RCS of targets closer than a mile away as accurately as some of the Navy's best instrumentation systems. This system can also be used in the spotlight/diagnostic imaging mode (for which it was initially designed) better than the DSMS and RIMS systems.
