    Abstract: A scaled model of a steel cone under a thin metal sheet was constructed, built and its monostatic target strength has been measured in a water tank. In parallel the target echo strength of the same body was calculated with various numerical methods (BEM, ray tracing). The comparison of both results show some differences under certain aspect angles due to some experimental challenges. With an improved experimental setup these differences could be minimized.
