RCS stands for <strong>radar cross section</strong>, which is a way of describing how strongly a target reflects radar energy back toward the radar.</p> <p>The beginner mistake is thinking RCS means physical size. It does not. A physically small object can sometimes look surprisingly large to radar, while a physically large object can sometimes look smaller than you might expect.</p> <p>RCS is about <strong>radar visibility</strong>, not simple geometry alone.</p>
