Question

Comment on radar detectability if RCS is higher.

(a) Higher detectability

(b) Lower detectability

(c) Same detectability

(d) Detectability is not dependent on rcs

I have been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

This is a very interesting question from Configuration Layout Considerations in division Configuration Layout Considerations of Aircraft Design

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) Higher detectability

To explain I would say: RCS is a measure of how much easier our object van be detected. Higher rcs indicate that the object is more detectable to the radar and hence, detectability will be more. If rcs are low then, it will be less detectable.
