Background | One of the promises and concerns in today’s air defence is the rapid development of unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAV). For electronic warfare, the electromagnetic scattering characteristics of the UCAV are required and can be obtained either by measurements and/or simulations. For a computational methodology to be useful, validation of the method is an essential prerequisite. For partially transparent or low-observable complex objects such as UCAV validation data is difficult to come by.
In order to increase the confidence in the prediction methods, SET-TG-252 has designed and built a validation model of a low-observable UCAV. Measurements on this model will be the basis for the validation of the prediction methods on a military relevant target. |
