Question

Which of the following is an advantage of internal weapon carriage?

(a) Weapon RCS will tend to be none

(b) Highest possible RCS

(c) RCS is more than external

(d) RCS is more than conformal

This question was addressed to me in my homework.

I would like to ask this question from Payload in division Crew Station, Passengers, and Payload of Aircraft Design

Answer 1

Right option is (a) Weapon RCS will tend to be none

The explanation is: An internal weapon carriage system hides weapon from radar detection. This is due to fact that weapons are located inside the aircraft itself in an internal weapon carriage system. Conformal configuration has more RCS than internal weapon carriage system.
