Radar cross section(RCS) measurement is the foundation of the stealth technology and target signature research. It is necessary to research the electromagnetic scattering properties of radar target as well as to design stealth weapon system. The theory and algorithm of electromagnetic scattering computation can be verified by RCS measurement; moreover, it is difficult to compute electromagnetic scattering of some complex objects, but the data can be obtained visually by RCS measurement. Compared with the outdoor and indoor RCS measurement, the RCS near field measurement is excellence in electromagnetic scattering test of electrically large complex objects. The method has lower cost and is more efficient. Concerning the fast, efficient and accurate testing of the electrically large complex objects' feature in actual engineering application, the key technique, realization and the applicability of RCS near field measurement are studied. Firstly, the methods of aircraft stealth test is introduced; secondly, the status quo of RCS near field measurement of numerical method, and the applied fields and problems to be solved of RCS near field measurement are presented; finally, the opportunities and challenges of the research of aircraft near field RCS measurement are briefly analyzed.
