Abstract	In this paper a method of monostatic RCS measuring in real conditions for complex shaped objects is proposed. The basic idea of the method is to provide measuring in near field zone for different parts of the object (fragments) separately. This technique is titled "decomposition method". After such measurements all RCS data are summed and one can obtain the average RCS of investigated object. Such method is much more accessible in comparison with natural measurements in far field zone. In this paper the decomposition method is tested numerically. For this a model of complex shape object (tank T-90) is divided into the fragments for some direction of view. It is shown that the sum of RCS of the fragments is close to the full object RCS for corresponding direction.
