Abstract
In this paper, Radar cross section (RCS) calculations of advanced naval vessels model with RCS reduction methods are simulated and RCS results are discussed. Especially, this paper are mainly focusing on the facts influencing on RCS, the ways minimizing RCS and material characteristics of RCS changing-rate. RCS analysis results are given for a DDG-1000 type advanced naval vessels, which show that as the elevation angle increased 10 degree, the mean RCS value increased 23.91 dBsm. Also, as the superstructure angle increased 6 degree, the mean RCS value reduced 1.27 dBsm. Finally, the radar absorbing material attachment at the front and back superstructure have been reduced 2.27 dBsm in terms of mean RCS value.
