RADAR is an acronym for Radio Detection and Ranging
- It is a type of Sensor
Description / Specifications
RADAR is a sensor system that bounces radio waves (electromagnetic energy) off of a target and detects the reflection.
- RADAR performance can be impaired by atmospheric conditions: all weather RADAR has improved function in a variety of environmental conditions.
- It is an active sensor.
RADAR emissions can be detected by many sensor systems and targeted by RADAR direction finders.
RADAR can be countered by EMM (electromagnetic masking – "stealth" technology) and confused or overwhelmed by RADAR jammers.
History & Background / Dossier
RADAR is available from TL-5 onwards.
