RCS Computation and Analysis of a Diamond-shaped Thermal Jacket for Gun Barrels

Abstract A research on RCS simulations and analysis of a diamond-shaped thermal jacket was carried out, to make jackets tanks less detectable known radar observation methods. Based the principles stealth technology, modeled. The simulation models were established by employing physical optics method (PO), monostatic characteristics at high frequency region investigated, major components affecting scattering evaluated. original end part played role in jacket. various shapes, including cylinder-shaped, diamond-shaped, without are comparative evaluation schemes is provided. results show that trans-shaping cylinder-shaped model effectively reduce average frontal lateral directions, improve overall performance tank guns. work beneficial for design concerning about shape technology gun barrels.
