 Abstract

QinetiQ has investigated the topic of wind farm radar interference since for over 15 years, undertaking research activities and providing consultancy services. Principles of radar cross-section (RCS) reduction using stealth technologies are discussed. The strengths and weaknesses are considered in the context of other mitigation approaches. The actual and potential benefits of stealth wind turbines for different types of radar system are considered. Vince Savage has been the technical lead for the QinetiQ Radar Impact Assessment (RIA) team since 2011. Vince has more than 20 year’s experience in radar and RCS modelling, for civil and military applications. Main research topics and areas of interest include the development of high frequency RCS models; the application of chaos theory to scattering from complex cavities; and the practical application of stealth technologies to wind turbines.
