  • Abstract
    In this paper, we estimate the radar cross sections (RCS) of ships with Gross Registered Tonnage (GRT) of about 1000 tons (“small vessels”) for HF radar operating between 3 and 5 MHz. The estimation is focused on the RCS of ships at aspects close to the end-on (rear- or bow-on) directions. The conclusion of the estimation is that the RCS of the small vessels at aspect angles of up to 250 from the end-on directions are about 25–30 dBm2.
