This paper presents measurements of Radar Cross Section (RCS) of five Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), comprising both consumer grade and professional small drones, collected in a semi-controlled environment as a function of azimuth aspect angle, polarization and frequency in the range 8.2-18 GHz. A first-order statistical analysis of the measured RCSs is firstly reported prior to assessing the radar detection performance on both measured and bespoke simulated data (leveraging the results of the developed statistical analysis), including, as benchmark terms, the curves for non-fluctuating and Rayleigh fluctuating targets.

Abstract
This paper presents measurements of Radar Cross Section (RCS) of five Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), comprising both consumer grade and professional small drones, collected in a semi-controlled environment as a function of azimuth aspect angle, polarization and frequency in the range 8.2-18 GHz. A first-order statistical analysis of the measured RCSs is firstly reported prior to assessing the radar detection performance on both measured and bespoke simulated data (leveraging the results of the developed statistical analysis), including, as benchmark terms, the curves for non-fluctuating and Rayleigh fluctuating targets.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
