Military Surveillance Radar

Radar, short for radio detection and ranging, has been one of the most influential military technologies since World War II. It can detect and track objects as small as insects and as large as ocean-going ships and giant aircraft by bouncing radio waves of different frequencies off these targets and receiving the reflected signals. Its uses are not limited just to detecting and tracking enemy ships, aircraft, satellites, and land vehicles, but also for detailed mapping of terrain, guiding smart munitions to their targets, identifying and imaging targets, detecting and monitoring threatening weather, and even tracking flocks of migrating birds.
