Radar cross section (RCS) is a measurement of an object's radar reflectivity, usually in units of square meters. RCS data are integral to the development of radar "stealth" technologies, partigularly with aircraft. Exact values for current aircraft are almost all highly classified.

Measurement of RCS is usually conducted in an anechoic chamber, though it is sometimes done outdoors.
