Simulation of the Radar Cross Section of a Noctuid Moth

Electromagnetic modelling may be used as a tool for understanding the radar cross section (RCS) of volant animals. Here, we examine this emerging method in detail and delve deeper into specifics process single noctuid moth, with hope illuminating importance different aspects by varying morphometric compositional properties model. This was accomplished creating high-fidelity three-dimensional insect model micro-CT scanning gold-palladium-coated insect. simulations were conducted applying morphological configurations using WiPL-D Pro 3D Solver. The simulation results show that high-resolution insects has advantages compared to simple ellipsoidal models previous studies. We find inclusion wings separating composition body, wings, legs antennae have an impact on resulting RCS specimen. Such modifications are missed when prolate spheroid is should not ignored future Finally, methodology been shown useful exploring changes result from variations specimen size. As such, utilising further more species will improve ability quantitatively interpret aeroecological observations weather surveillance radars special-purpose entomological radars.
