Abstract :
The role of RCS calculation tools in modern radar and EW engineering is becoming more pronounced, but the requirements and determination of CAD model accuracy are not always clear. This paper considers metrics with which to measure and compare CAD models as well as differences in RCS results arising from small and large CAD model differences.
