Abstract
Establishes a methodology for minimizing the peak and/or aggregate radar cross sections (RCSs) of autonomous precision guided munitions (APGMs) as they ingress to a selected target through a radar threat environment. This research demonstrates how route planning may be combined with the simultaneous specification of aerodynamically feasible yaw and bank angles to significantly reduce APGM observability. The approach described in the paper has the potential to considerably enhance APGM effectiveness against enemy defense systems
