Abstract

In one aspect, a method to generate radar signatures for multiple objects in motion, includes performing a shooting and bouncing (SBR) technique to solve for physical optics and multi-bounce characteristics associated with the objects. Performing the SBR technique includes performing dynamic ray tracing to form an image of an object having surfaces and edges. Performing the dynamic ray tracing includes transforming the object in a common coordinate frame of reference to a centered-body axis frame of reference.
