RCS (Radar Cross Section) reduction

Radar Cross Section (RCS) reduction involves designing objects, like aircraft or ships, to reflect less radar energy, making them harder for radar systems to detect. This is achieved through shaping surfaces to deflect radar signals away, using special materials that absorb radar waves, and minimizing features that create strong reflections. The goal is to make the target appear smaller or less visible on radar screens, enhancing stealth and survivability. RCS reduction is a key aspect of military technology aimed at maintaining operational advantage by reducing the likelihood of detection.
