Abstract

Stealth technology has added an inspiration in the field of electronic counter measure and has brought out the ineffectuality of the mono-static radars. The stealth aircrafts scatter very low intensity electromagnetic radiations due to its special geometry and absorbent material. However, if an electromagnetic wave is incident at 'good' angles, stealth aircraft though low observable cannot be called as invisible. In this paper, the results of the extensive simulations on a model stealth aircraft have been presented. Simulations are performed, on an aircraft model to prove the effectiveness of the proposed model. By energizing the aircraft at 'good' angle(s) of incidence, significant scattering can be observed over a range of aspect angles. Thereafter, a multi-static approach is proposed making a polygon arrangement of radar transceivers in order to guarantee the detection of a stealth aircraft.
