Abstract :
To meet the increasing need of modern ballistic missile countermeasure, it becomes more and more important to study chaff cloud´s scattering characteristics in outer space more accurately. A coherent scattering model is presented to depict the polarization scattering process of chaff cloud in outer space instead of the traditional noncoherent model. Chaff cloud´s polarization scattering matrix and RCS formulae are derived. These formulae reflect the fluctuation law of chaff cloud´s RCS due to the variation of cloud´s spatial distribution
