Abstract

The shape design of flying wing UAV can effectively reduce the detection and tracking probability of single-station radar. Bistatic radar has the advantage of anti-stealth for stealth targets due to the characteristics of multi-station distribution. However, there is no literature to study the detection area of flying wing UAV by bistatic radar. To solve this problem, FEKO electromagnetic simulation software is used to establish the X-band electromagnetic model of X-47B UAV, and the bistatic RCS of 0° pitch angle is simulated. According to the bistatic radar equation, the effective detection area of X-47B UAV lateral flight is simulated. The results show that the detection range of bistatic radar is mainly in the vicinity of 5 banded regions and bistatic radar. The five strip regions in the effective detection range correspond to the five bright lines of bistatic RCS one by one. When the baseline of bistatic radar is 20 km, the effective detection range is the largest. The research provides data support for the layout optimization of bistatic radar station and the trajectory optimization of flying wing UAV.
