Eduardo Gomes, 50, 12228-904, São José dos Campos, SP, Brazil, mirabel@iae.cta.br Abstract  The commercially available CADRCS software, sold as a simulation tool for military and industrial applications, was used to teach the main concepts of Radar Cross Section (RCS) to undergraduate students. Models of objects and targets are created in CAD; their surfaces are discretized with the Rhinoceros software and imported to CADRCS for the simulations. In this way, the RCS of objects with both simple and complex geometries can be simulated with relative ease and versatility with CADRCS. The visualization and analysis of these simulations serve as valuable teaching aids, helping students to obtain a better understanding of key issues related to the calculation and interpretation of the RCS signature of actual objects and targets.
