Abstract
The monostatic RCS of a generic Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV) is presented at S-band and is derived using a Physical Optics (PO) based simulation approach. Target RCS histograms are then produced and used to generate a custom statistical distribution which is subsequently compared against the conventional Swerling models associated with representation of target fluctuation when using the Radar Range Equation (RRE). The accuracy of the Swerling models for this particular target type and frequency band is subsequently discussed.
