Abstract

The capabilities of detection of low-observable unmanned aerial vehicles via the forward scattering radar are considered. The configuration of multi-static forward scattering radar enabling the improvement of target detection efficiency is proposed. The forward scattering radar cross section of the widely spread unmanned aerial vehicles is calculated. The required power of the airborne transmitter is estimated.
