radar station
Wave-scanning facility
A radar station is a facility equipped with radar systems for detecting and tracking objects—typically aircraft, ships, or weather patterns.
Military radar stations monitor airspace for threats; meteorological stations track storms.
During World War II, coastal radar stations provided early warning of incoming bombers: The radar station picked up the approaching aircraft sixty miles out.
