Many missile–target simulation systems use random numbers to mimic the effects of a fluctuating target Radar Cross Section (RCS) in an attempt to minimise simulation times. In this paper a Genetic Algorithm is used to optimise the complexity of a pointscatterer model with a realistic radar cross section, ultimately allowing real measured data to be used in simulations. The performance of the ge...
