In this paper we propose the use of light weight radars mounted on drones to carryout Radar Cross Section measurements in real environments and experimentally demonstrate its feasibility. Here we demonstrate the monostatic RCS measurement using light weight radar set-up mounted on Hexa-copter Drone. The measurements are done at 9GHz for demonstration and targets used are electric pole and corner reflector. The results are tabulated proving the feasible use of a light weight radars coupled with drones for RCS measurements. This finds applications in futuristic stealth research providing portable, economic, scalable, user friendly solution for RCS measurements in realistic environments.
