A novel method of computation and optimization for multi-layered radar absorbing coatings using open source software

We created a simple software package based on open source software (GNU/Linux). This software package combined the electromagnetic parameters database and an optimization engine based on genetic algorithms, by which we can store and manage a large number of electromagnetic parameters towards radar absorbing materials, and can also design multi-layered radar absorbing coatings (RACs) using the materials stored in the database. The electromagnetic parameters of initial materials can be obtained either from experiment measurement or from theory computation. The software package is approved to be effective in designing examples. Some tests also proved that the solution towards multi-layered RACs presented in this paper has a good performance in computation.
