RCS Measurements and High-Range Resolution Profiles of Three RPGs at Ka-Band

Abstract

Static radar cross section and high range resolution profile measurements of 3 rocket-propelled grenades (RPG) at Ka- band are reported. Measurements are from 32.4 to 35.6 GHz with vertically polarized transmit and receive stepped frequency waveforms providing 4.7 cm resolution in range for each of the following: Yugoslavian M57 grenade, Chinese Type 69 grenade, and a Romanian PG7M grenade. Measurements include azimuth aspect angles between -3 deg and +3 deg in 1 deg steps relative to head-on. The data were collected in December, 2003 at the U.S. Research, Development and Engineering Command, Army Research Laboratory (RDECOM-ARL) anechoic chamber research facility at the Adelphi Laboratory Center, Maryland.
