radar system
Airspace monitoring equipment
A radar system is equipment that uses radio waves to detect and locate objects such as aircraft, ships, or weather formations.
The system transmits pulses of electromagnetic energy and measures how they bounce back from distant objects, revealing their position, speed, and direction.
Modern radar systems range from compact units in vehicles to massive installations tracking missiles and satellites.
Air traffic controllers rely on radar systems to monitor planes in their airspace.
