HISTORYHISTORY

Reflection of radio waves were made in the

1920s by MAXVEL and other scientists

He forecast that reflections could be obtained from targets

First radar named R.D.F (radio direction finding)

First radar installed on HMS RODENY and HMS SHEFIELD in 1939

INTRODUCIONINTRODUCION

Radar is an electronic system that uses reflected Radar is an electronic system that uses reflected electro magnetic energy to detect the presence electro magnetic energy to detect the presence and position of objects invisible to the eyeand position of objects invisible to the eye

PRIMARY RADARPRIMARY RADAR

Primary Radars are those Radars which have different Transmitter and Receiver unit

Requirement of Primary radar is to measure the range/ bearing of contact

Measuring the time taken of radio wave

Use single antenna

10

SECONDARY RADARSECONDARY RADAR

Radar in which the Transmitting and Receiving station is same

Interrogator transmits an encoded signal to a target

Aircraft transmissions can trigger responses from fixed transmitters

Aircraft’s position may

be accurately established

11

CLASSIFICATION

Radar system are divided into types, based on the

designed use

Search radar

Specific characteristics

IFF

12

Search radar continuously scans a volume of space and provides initial detection of all targets within that space

Search radar further divided into specific types: Surface search Air search Height finding Tracking Missile guidance

SEARCH RADARSEARCH RADAR

13

Surface search radar has two primary function

Detection and determination of accurate ranges and bearing

Maintain of a 360 degree search pattern

SURFACE SEARCH RADAR

14

Air search radar systems initially detect and determine the Position Course Speed of air target

Used as early warning

AIR SEARCH RADAR

15

HEIGHT FINDING RADAR

Obtaining range, bearing and altitude data

Detecting low flying aircraft

Tracking aircraft over land

16

MISSILE GUIDANCE RADAR

Radar system that provides information used to guide a missile to a hostile target

Beam rider missiles follow a beam of radar energy

Homing missiles detect and home in on radar energy reflected from the target

17

ADVANTAGES

Detects objects beyond the sighting range, in dark and in bad weather

Provide accurate Range, Bearing, Course, Speed and Altitude information

Effective use for Navigation purpose

Can identify between friend and foe

Control the traffic in harbour, on the road and in the Airport

18

DISADVANTAGES

Disclose own position

Jamming/ interference is possible

EM waves is danger for human body

Very sensitive and costly equipments

May confuse friendly EW sensors with enemy

Not easily avaliable in international market
