description Accurate modeling of relativistic electromagnetic scattering characteristics from high-speed motion of plasma coated objects is crucial for the development of hypersonic aircraft and their applications in the identification and surveillance of moving stealth targets. Nevertheless, a solution for bistatic polarized radar cross sections (RCSs) from a 3-D object with plasma coated layer in motion has yet to be obtained. This manuscript proposes a solution to this problem by employing a combination of the auxiliary differential equation (ADE) method with Lorentz finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Utilizing the Lorentz transformation, this paper presents the transformation of parameters of the incident plane wave and dimensions of the object between the laboratory system that remains static and the rest system that remains stationary relative to the object in high-speed motion. The near-zone electromagnetic fields near the object are computed using the ADE method in the rest system, after which the near-field to far-field (NF-FF) transformation is employed to obtain the far-zone polarized scattered field. By applying Lorentz transformation to the coordinates, this paper presents a solution for the polarized scattering from moving plasma coated objects. Especially, radial components of the polarized scatterings are analyzed. The proposed method is validated through several numerical experiments, demonstrating its efficiency and accuracy.
