Simulations of the radar cross section of a generic air-to-air missile coated with radar absorbing materials

Simulations of the radar cross section of a heat- seeking air-to-air missile model were performed using the CADRCS software. In these simulations at a frequency of 10 GHz, the surface of the missile was considered to be a perfect conductor and to be coated with a radar absorbing material (RAM). The comparison of results from the simulations shows how different parts of the missile contribute to the radar cross section (RCS). Also, it is shown how the RCS of the missile is reduced with the use of RAM.
