Scattering characteristics of surface ships with complex shape

Abstract

Based on the previously developed by the authors method for estimating the scattering characteristics of objects located near the interface between two half-spaces, the scattering data of a large Project 775 landing ship (NATO codification: Ropucha) are obtained. A surface model of the ship under study and the results of calculations of its scattering characteristics are given. Scattering characteristics were obtained for different probing conditions. The radar cross-section circular diagrams, mean and median radar cross-section values, averaged in different azimuth aspect ranges of probing for the object under study are presented.
