Radar cross section (RCS) is a measurement of an object's radar reflectivity, usually in units of square meters. RCS data are integral to the development of radar stealth technology, particularly with aircraft. Exact values for current military aircraft are almost all highly classified.
Measurement of RCS is usually conducted in an anechoic chamber, though it is sometimes done outdoors.
