Radar cross section — (RCS) is a measure of how detectable an object is with a radar. For example a stealth aircraft (which is designed to be undetectable) will have design features that give it a low RCS, as opposed to a passenger airliner that will have a high… … Wikipedia

Cross section (physics) — A cross section is the effective area which governs the probability of some scattering or absorption event. Together with particle density and path length, it can be used to predict the total scattering probability via the Beer Lambert law. In… … Wikipedia
Optical cross section — or OCS is a value which describes the maximum amount of optical flux reflected back to the source. The standard unit of measurement is . It is dependent on the geometry and the reflectivity at a particular wavelength of an object. Optical cross… … Wikipedia
Radar absorbent material — Radar absorbent material, or RAM, is a class of materials used in stealth technology to disguise a vehicle or structure from radar detection. A material s absorbency at a given frequency of radar wave depends upon its composition. RAM cannot… … Wikipedia
Radar cross section of a combat aircraft from various angles. It looks bigger from directly below or directly from the top than in a turn. It is the least when viewed directly from the front or the rear and is maximum when viewed from either side.
