Research & Development Ranges

This image depicts an indoor anechoic range that is used for measuring the radar cross section (RCS) of targets. The range is designed to provide precise RCS data across multiple frequency bands, azimuth, and elevation apertures. It is also capable of supporting varying target geometries. The image displays a large chamber with specialized equipment and instrumentation for measuring RCS. Additionally, a mounted target can be seen.

Target Access & Mounting Systems

PWP’s are customized to meet your specific needs which are driven by your staging area, pylon or antenna positioner, chamber, door, and targets. Chambers that utilize multiple target support systems can use the PWP to transition the target support systems between the staging area and the chamber. R&D chambers can change target configurations without disturbing the test environment. DSC PWP systems are designed by experienced mechanical engineers based on input from experienced range operators. Personnel work platform lifting a heavy target up high.

Thumbnail image depicting a setup for measuring radar cross section using foam columns and saddles. The setup includes several foam columns of varying heights placed on a flat surface, with several saddles of different shapes and sizes resting on top of the columns. The saddles are used to hold the objects being measured, and the setup is designed to minimize reflections and interference from the surrounding environment, allowing for accurate measurement of radar cross section.
