radar reflector
Visibility-enhancing marine device
A radar reflector is a device designed to bounce radar signals back to their source, making an object more visible on radar screens.
Small boats, buoys, and aircraft often carry radar reflectors to enhance their detectability by larger vessels or air traffic control.
The device typically consists of metal surfaces arranged at precise angles to maximize signal return.
Every sailboat heading offshore should carry a radar reflector.
