Influence of Afterburner Coated with Absorbing Material on Radar Scattering Characteristics of Engine Exhaust System

In order to improve the backward-facing radar stealth capability of the engine exhaust system, five coating schemes for afterburner, which is radar wave strong scattering source, are formulated. The influence of afterburner coating absorbing materials on the horizontal polarization and vertical pola...

description In order to improve the backward-facing radar stealth capability of the engine exhaust system, five coating schemes for afterburner, which is radar wave strong scattering source, are formulated. The influence of afterburner coating absorbing materials on the horizontal polarization and vertical polarization RCS distribution pattern of the exhaust system in the range of -30°~+30° azimuth of the typical frequency point in the S-band and X-band is analyzed by using the shooting and bouncing rays, also SAR imaging of typical frequency points in the X-band at an azimuth angle of 0° is simulated.The results show that the distribution of strong scattering sources in S-band and X-band is basically the same, and the influence of different coating schemes of absorbing materials on the RCS reduction effect of two bands is similar. The flame stabilizer is the strongest scattering source of radar characteristic signal, and coating it with radar absorbing materials has the greatest benefit on reducing the radar characteristic signal of the exhaust system. Coating absorbing materials in the four parts of afterburner inner cone, flame stabilizer, lobe mixer and afterburner cylinder is the best absorbing material coating scheme for the reduction effect of RCS in the two wave bands. The average RCS reduction effect of horizontal polarization and vertical polarization in S band is 92.3% and 92.0%, and the average RCS reduction effect of horizontal polarization and vertical polarization in X-band is 90.2% and 88.4%.
