About this ebook
Scattering Characteristics of Aerial and Ground Radar Objects is divided in two sections. The first section includes scattering characteristics for different aerial objects: aircrafts, helicopters, transport and passenger airplanes, unmanned aerial vehicles, and missiles. The second section contains data about scattering for many ground objects such as tanks, surface-to-air missile systems, ground radars, and other military objects. In total, the book contains actual data for 63 aerial objects (fighters, attack aircraft, bombers, long-range radar detection aircraft, transport aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, and cruise missiles) and 18 ground objects, among which are anti-aircraft missile systems and tanks. This book contains data obtained by computations such as circular diagrams of radar backscattering; mean and median radar cross section values of various objects; probability distributions of echo signal amplitude given various parameters of illumination and various kinds of underlying surfaces (for ground objects). Also, as an example, the scattering characteristics for one surface ship are given.
This book will be a valuable reference for scientists, engineers, and researchers of electromagnetic wave scattering, computational electrodynamics, and those working on radar detection and recognition algorithms for aerial and and ground radar targets.
About the author
Oleg I. Sukharevsky has been working in the field of applied mathematics and computational electrodynamics since 1972, when he received a diploma in computational mathematics from the Gorky Kharkіv State University and joined the Govorov Kharkіv Military Academy of Air Defense as an engineer. In 1993, he held a doctor of science degree in radar from the Govorov Kharkіv Military Academy of Air Defense. Presently he is currently a leading scientific researcher at the Scientific Center of Air Forces, Ivan Kozhedub Kharkіv National Air Force University, Kharkіv, Ukraine. His main areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the mathematical theory of diffraction and radar targets scattering characteristics.
