An efficient hybrid method based on the time domain integral equation (TDIE) coupled with physical optics (PO) is proposed for the transient scattering from electrically large conducting objects. The computational complexity of the proposed hybrid method is drastically reduced compared with full TDIE, and the accuracy is improved compared with only PO. The numerical results demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the hybrid method.
