  • Patent number: 10338213
    Abstract: A system for providing an estimate of far-field radar cross-section (RCS) measurements of an aircraft. The system includes a plurality of automatic guided vehicles (AGV) each including a robot arm and a radar unit selectively mounted thereto and being interchangeable with a camera. Each AGV includes an AGV controller for controlling the robot arm, the radar unit and the camera so as to cause the radar unit to provide the near-field RCS measurements or the camera to provide images of the aircraft. The system further includes a real time signature diagnostic sub-system (SDS-RT) responsive to the near-field RCS measurement signals from the radar units and the images from the cameras in real time, and an SDS controller responsive to re-configured near-field RCS measurement signals and images from the SDS-RT and configuring the near-field RCS measurement signals and the images into the estimate of the far-field RCS measurements of the aircraft.
