Glossary
RCS
RCS stands for Radar Cross Section (radar
signature) and is a measure of how well a
target is detectable by radar, i.e. how much
of the emitted energy is reflected from a
target. The higher the RCS value, the better
the reflectivity and thus the visibility of the
target. The RCS value depends on factors
such as material, size and angle of
incidence, but not on the distance of the
reflection target, as long as a reflection is
not affected by the distance.
Vehicular use
Vehicular use means applications in the
vicinity (not inside) a vehicle, where a
vehicle is a platform that performs specific
tasks to transport someone or something.
