RADAR SIGNATURE PREDICTION AND ANALYSIS (RIKA)
STEALTH IS THE FOUNDATION FOR SURVIVABILITY AND LETHALITY
OUR ANSWER TO YOUR MOST CHALLENGING, STEALTH TECHNOLOGY NEEDS? YES
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Radar signature reduction is a must in order to increase the battle-field effectiveness of any contemporary platform or long-range armament. The crucial step in radar signature reduction or stealth technologies is the determination of the radar signature of the platform under consideration. The following actions can be performed upon the determination of the signature:
- Shape changes can be affected for platforms under development
- Radar absorbing coatings can be used on certain parts of the platform, and
- Strategic plans for approach-to-target patterns can be tailored
The RIKA software analyzes the radar signature of any platform based on its CAD model and provides ali the necessary information to realize these actions.
FEATURES
- Windows-based softvvare
- Allows the definition of new coating materials
- Can be operated on a single machine or on a network cluster
- Allows definition of multilayered coating definitions in parallel mode
- Visualizes ray tracing
- Allows parts sharing between different models
- The results can be output in XML format
USE CASES
The following analysis can be performed with RiKA
- Computation of Radar Cross Section (RCS)
- Determination of hot-spots or scattering centers
- Computation of the induced surface currents
- Evaluation of the effecitveness of surface coatings
- Formation of ISAR images
- Determination of range profiles
- Computation of polarimetric scattering
The techniques used in performing these tasks include:
- Hybridized geometric optics and physical optics algorithms
- Diffraction theories
- Multiple reflection
- Shadowing and Instantenous Doppler approximations
