airborne radar
Airborne radar is a technology used in aircraft to detect and track objects in the air and on the ground. It emits radio waves that bounce off objects, allowing the radar system to determine their distance, speed, and direction. This information is crucial for navigation, weather monitoring, and military operations.
The radar system is typically mounted on the aircraft and can operate in various weather conditions. It helps pilots avoid obstacles, identify other aircraft, and assess weather patterns. Airborne radar plays a vital role in enhancing flight safety and operational efficiency in both civilian and military aviation.
