30 20 10 0 -10 -20 -30 -40 -50 1 GHz 5 GHz 10 GHz 12 GHz RFP Requirement Figure 4.3 - Radar Cross Section at 0º Lookup Angle Figure 18 shows that the vehicle does clearly meet the frontal RCS requirement of 0.05 m 2 (-12 dB) set forth in the Request for Proposal. It also shows that the measures taken at shaping the aircraft are working. The leading edge and trailing edge of the wing come together closely. There is a large return directly from the side of the aircraft due to the wing tip and fuselage side. It can also be seen that although there are slight variations in the returns due to the different frequencies, they do not vary that much. This is due to the fact that the Vendetta is a rather large vehicle. None of the surfaces are small enough to interfere with the wavelengths of the radar. The weakest azimuth angle for the Vendetta is the 40° angle where the leading edge sends a large spike forward. Looking at the equally crucial 15° lookup angle cross section in Figure 4.4 reveals a slightly different picture. 19
30 20 10 0 -10 -20 -30 -40 -50 1 GHz 5 GHz 10 GHz 12 GHz RFP Requirement Figure 4.4 - Radar Cross Sections at 15º Lookup Angle Figure 4.3 shows that the Vendetta meets and exceeds the 0° lookup angle returns. This is seen as highly advantageous. The shape of the bottom of the aircraft is effective in keeping spikes at a minimum. As mentioned earlier, this is a crucial area for the Vendetta. As most of its threats are from the ground, it is important that the aircraft has a limited return in this orientation. 20
