Measurements of radar cross section and detectability of vessels at conditions of testing ground

Meter features of radar characteristics of vessels in conditions of testing ground are considered. Sevastopol was chosen as a training ground. It was established in the end of previous century, but its technical and methodical levels correspond to the most modern requirements. Thus the experience practice and devised techniques might be used on other testing grounds in the world. The main stress is given to the problems of measurement of detectability of ships and radar images in the X-wave band. The measurement data is presented and its accuracy is analyzed.
