Abstract
The computer code COBRA for the computation of the backscattering Rada r Cross Section (RCS) of arbitrarily shaped metallic objects is presen ted. The scatterer surface is specified through a set of data points a nd interpolated by bicubic splines in parameter space and the scattere d field is computed in the physical optics approximation. A numerical integration technique for triangular and rectangular parametric subdom ains, based on an algorithm with error control, is described.
