Abstract :
A combination of several ray-tracing acceleration techniques for computing very efficiently the radar cross section (RCS) of complex targets has been implemented in a new computer tool. The AZB and SVP algorithms together with the A* heuristic search method have been developed to consider multiple iterations between different flat surfaces that compound the target.
