Abstract
Tenix Defence, with support from the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO), has developed a lightweight reflective cladding for application to surface ships when it is desirable to reduce the monostatic radar cross section (RCS). The composition of this cladding and its scattering characteristics are described in this paper, together with some of the fabrication issues.
