pretty cool stuff, but did they really need to target a sphere? wouldn't the lear have made a better target since the awacs is used to target aircraft anyway?

So whats the Laboratory measured radar cross section of a Lear Jet at ALL angles? How much "glitter" does a sphere create?
The spheres cross section was measured up to .o1 meter.
If your testing a 1 meter object at 250 miles, and you now use a Lear of much greater cross section you would have to extend the visual range of the lear jet to about 10 miles above the earth.

someone explain to me what the hell I just witnessed?

Your looking at a 1 sq meter target towed behind a Learjet on a five mile length of kevlar.
It was used to test an AWACS upgrade called RSIP.
