ABSTRACT:
A radar attenuating composition is described for which incident microwave diation is absorbed and/or scattered, causing a significant decrease in retroreflectance of the object to which the composition is applied, that is, a reduction in the radar cross-section of the object. The radar attenuating composition or paint is prepared by uniformly mixing thin conducting fibers such as stainless steel fibers or carbon or graphite into a standard camouflage-type paint. The fibers act as electric dipole segments. The purpose of the countermeasure paint of the present invention is to reduce the amount of microwave radiation reflected back by a target to the receiver, i.e. reducing the amount of retroreflection.
