Nope, not kidding at all. This was in fact determined years ago when the
aircraft was put on a pedestal in a large chamber where the govt measures
radar returns. I have no clue how the measurements are made, but that's the
reason the -5J has been designated as a certified cruise missile surrogate.

At 50 ft off the ground and 250 knots, the BD-5J is so invisible to
radar
that a tracking transmitter must be installed so the mission controllers
can
see it.

You have to be kidding.
