Description
It is important that the sensor signatures of models used in missile defense simulations match the fidelity requirements of the system being tested or assessed.For radar systems this corresponds to having Radar Cross Section (RCS) characterizations that stimulate the features associated with important radar functions.In the Phase I of this program we demonstrated the ability to improve the RCS characterization of post-intercept debris and solid rocket motor debris using novel high-fidelity electromagnetic solvers and began the process of integrating these signatures in missile defense simulations.These improvements in signature estimation allow for more realistic models and greater confidence in simulation results.In this SBIR Phase II proposal we detail our plans to extend this progress by improving the efficiency, accuracy, and usability of our process to estimate the RCS of debris.The plan includes benchmarking the process to anechoic chamber measurements and demonstrating the improvements.Approved for Public Release 15-MDA-8169 (20 March 15)
