Fishers Island Radar Cross Section (RCS) Measurement Range

The Fishers Island RCS Measurement Range consists of a mobile radar truck, two radar shore sites, and a calibration tower. This facility, in conjunction with the SSTP, supports the test and evaluation of electromagnetic sensors in an open ocean environment. The Range is equipped with a mobile, coherent, stepped frequency instrumentation radar system capable of making full polarization scattering matrix measurement across the frequency range of 2-18 GHz. The radar system is equipped with a video tracking capability for measurements of dynamic targets.
