Abstract
A numerical technique for evaluation of the geometrical optics radar cross section of a general doubly curved convex conducting body is described. A surface-fitting method is employed where unique surfaces are established utilizing the Schmidt orthogonalization technique for matrix inversion. In this manner linearly dependent data points are discarded prior to their inclusion in the surface-fitting procedure.
