Radar cross section

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004652

A measure of an object's ability to reflect radar signals, indicating how detectable it is by radar. It depends on the object's size, shape, material, and the radar's frequency and polarization. A larger radar cross section means the object reflects more radar energy back to the receiver.
