AB  - This paper presents an efficient algorithm to evaluate multi-spectral and multi-angular monostatic radar cross section (RCS) of large objects with very fine increments. The technique is based on the combination of Model Based Parameter Estimation (MBPE) method with hybrid frequency domain formulations. A general approach to formulation of MBPE is presented along with a similar approach called the Asymptotic Waveform Evaluation (AWE). Various numerical examples are presented for multi-spectral response calculations using method of moments (MoM) and the hybrid Finite Element-MoM technique in conjunction with MBPE. Example application of MBPE for hybrid MoM-Physical Optics approach for multi-angular calculations is also presented.
