Determination of Bragg Scatter in an Aircraft Generated Wake Vortex System for Radar Detection

Remote detection and tracking of wingtip generated wake vortices is important for hazard avoidance especially near airports. Aircraft that fly through these hazardous vortices experience sudden induced roll. Experiments have demonstrated that there is sufficient radar cross section for remote dete...
