I've kept a study I found of a group of Kayakers in Maine with the
cooperation of the U.S. Coast Guard on visibility using radar.  In this they
approached this with starting out looking at if any return was being
generated with just the lone kayaker and a group, (darn near next to
nothing) to using reflectors.  Now this was done in the summer of 2003 to
2004 so I don't believe that much advancement in the science of radar, etc,
has been developed since then.

I've placed it at http://366thspsk-9.com/radar.pdf  It's an Adobe PDF file,
8 pages long, 2.9 MB in size.
