Austin RCS Benchmark Suite

This dataset contains a recently developed benchmark suite for quantifying the performance of alternative computational approaches to solving radar cross section (RCS) problems in aerospace applications. The Austin RCS Benchmark Suite (i) contains 20 problem sets—with 1303 unique benchmark scattering problems—whose geometries, material properties, excitations, and quantities of interest are precisely defined, (ii) organizes the problems along 6 dimensions according to the difficulty of computing their solutions, (iii) provides reference RCS results for a select subset of the problems in each problem set—totaling 83 unique problems with reference results—obtained from full-wave computations in addition to analytical or measurement results, (iv) includes models and sample meshes defining complex geometries as well as equations defining complex material properties for the problems that are most difficult to replicate independently, and (v) is available in online repositories
