radar systems

Bounced signal trackers

Radar systems are equipment that uses radio waves to detect and locate objects.

A transmitter sends out pulses that bounce off aircraft, ships, weather formations, or other targets, and a receiver measures the returning echoes to determine distance, speed, and direction.

Military radar systems track missiles and guide weapons; civilian systems manage air traffic and forecast storms.
