The OKTAL-SE company in France and the FGAN-FHR research institute in Germany are proud to present the results
of a common case study on high frequency RCS computation. A metallic object made of a cylinder and 4 winglets was
measured at 35 GHz in the measurement facility of FGAN-FHR. The 3D virtual mockup of the same object (made of 20.000 polygons)
was used to compute the RCS under the same conditions at 35 GHz with the SE-RAY-EM software developed by OKTAL-SE in
partnership with ONERA in France.
