To truly master the art of making objects invisible to both radio waves and light, you must:
As detection systems advance across the electromagnetic spectrum, achieving low observability requires a dual-spectrum approach. This paper examines the engineering methodologies for predicting and reducing Radar Cross Section (RCS) and Laser Cross Section (LCS). We analyze the transition from traditional shaping and Radar Absorbing Materials (RAM) to modern metasurfaces. Experimental validation techniques, including compact range measurements for radar and specular scattering theory for lasers, are discussed to provide a comprehensive framework for stealth platform design.
Shaping is the most powerful tool in the RCS engineer’s arsenal. The principle is simple: reflect the radar wave away from the receiver.
