BAE RCS FACILITY
The image above depicts an RCS test facility on the grounds of the British Aerospace facility at Warton. The red-roofed structure likely houses the associated radar emitters and measurement equipment. The large moveable hangar at the southeastern end of the facility would be used to house airframes and models being tested. Moveable hangars are often found at RCS ranges, as they can be employed to conceal the article being tested from the public as well as overhead sensors.
