A Study of Influence of Shape Technique on Radar-Scattering Characteristic for Tank Turret

Abstract:

Radar-scattering characteristic which is an important aspect in stealth technology plays a key role in radar detection. Based on shape technique, this work studied the influence of geometric parameter on radar-scattering characteristic for a tank turret by establishing a scaled model as well as calculating the radar cross section (RCS) of this model. The results show that the tank turret can obtain better radar-scattering characteristic with much lower RCS by optimizing its shape and the dihedral angles between the tank turret and the tank body.
