Radar, which stands for “Radio Detection and Ranging,” is a technology that uses electromagnetic waves, typically radio waves, to detect, locate, track, and identify objects, both stationary and moving, at various distances and under various weather conditions. Radar has a wide range of applications, including military, aviation, maritime navigation, weather forecasting, and more. Here’s an overview of how radar works and some of its key features:
Radar technology continues to evolve, with advancements in signal processing, antenna design, and integration with other sensors (e.g., lidar and cameras) to enhance its capabilities in various fields. It remains a fundamental tool for surveillance, navigation, and safety across a wide range of industries.
