Very cool- Mark Holden We often misunderstand stealth and how radar cross-section plays in aircraft detection 👇 Radar Cross Section (RCS) is a measure of how detectable an object is by radar, quantified in terms of the area. It represents the size of an equivalent isotropically reflecting sphere that would scatter radar energy back to the source with the same intensity as the target object does. RCS is crucial in military and aerospace applications, as it influences the visibility and detectability of aircraft, missiles, and other objects to radar systems. Lower RCS values are indicative of stealthier designs, which are harder for radar to detect, a key attribute for modern military aircraft aiming to evade enemy defenses. RCS can be affected by an object's size, shape, material, and surface characteristics, and it's a critical factor in the design and effectiveness of stealth technology. Insects, with their minuscule RCS of less than 1 cm², fall well below the detection threshold of standard radar systems aimed at identifying aerial vehicles. Birds present a slightly higher RCS, typically between 10 cm² to 100 cm², occasionally triggering radar systems designed for aircraft detection. The leap to military aircraft unveils a stark contrast in RCS due to advanced design and materials. The F-117 Nighthawk, an early stealth aircraft, achieved a low RCS through angular design, minimizing its radar signature to that of a small bird. Modern stealth aircraft such as the F-35 Lightning II and the B-2 Spirit employ advanced shaping and radar-absorbent materials, pushing their RCS down even further, to levels akin to small metallic spheres, starkly contrasting with non-stealth platforms like the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The F-16, a product of 1970s design philosophies, has a larger RCS, indicative of its non-stealth role, relying instead on agility and electronic countermeasures for survivability. Stealth, in the future, will come in many forms; however, RCS still rules the domain today. /// HOLDEN SENDS Activate to view larger image,

Flight test programs must maximize the efficiency of all flights to meet tight schedules. Feeding pilots critical information or having flight test engineers onboard who can visualize and analyze data in real time can speed up test point clearance. Curtiss-Wright’s NXDP airborne IADS products are a rugged computing solution combined with the industry’s leading visualization and analysis software. With the NXDP-4000, onboard engineers have the full capabilities of IADS RTStation and can see the same screens with the same data as the ground-based mission control team. The more compact NXDP-3000 can be placed virtually anywhere onboard a test vehicle and configured to show the critical data to the pilot.

I only want to emphasize that the refrence to Radar Cross Section (RCS) is only as we understand it today. The way we understand RCS today may be limited because our radar technology may be limited. Quote from the original post: “Radar Cross Section (RCS) is a measure of how detectable an object is by radar, quantified in terms of the area.”
