Radar Cross Section (RCS) Certification for Static and Dynamic RCS Measurement Facilities. Volume 2: DOD RCS Demonstration Program Results

Abstract

In January 1997, the Range Commanders Council Signature Measurement Standards Group (RCC/SMSG), in coordination with the RCC Taskmaster, established RCC/SMSG Task #08 titled, "DoD RCS Certification Feasibility Demonstration for Static and Dynamic RCS Measurement Facilities." Referred to herein as the DoD RCS Demonstration Program, the task assessed the feasibility of establishing common documentation standards to describe and certify the operation and capabilities of the DoD's diverse RCS measurement facilities located throughout the United States. Through the mutual efforts of the United States Air Force (USAF) 46 Test Group, in cooperation with the RCC/SMSG Radar Committee, the demonstration program described herein was entirely successful and should lay the groundwork for similar technical or laboratory calibration certification efforts throughout the DoD RCS measurement community.
