radar

Radar is a detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, angle, or velocity of objects. It can be used to detect aircraft, ships, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain. A radar system consists of a transmitter producing electromagnetic waves in the radio or microwaves domain, a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna (often the same antenna is used for transmitting and receiving) and a receiver and processor to determine properties of the object(s). Radio waves (pulsed or continuous) from the transmitter reflect off the object and return to the receiver, giving information about the object's location and speed.
Radar was developed secretly for military use by several nations in the period before and during World War II. A key development was the cavity magnetron in the United Kingdom, which allowed the creation of relatively small systems with sub-meter resolution. The term RADAR was coined in 1940 by the United States Navy as an acronym for "radio detection and ranging". The term radar has since entered English and other languages as a common noun, losing all capitalization. During RAF RADAR courses in 1954/5 at Yatesbury Training Camp "radio azimuth direction and ranging" was suggested. The modern uses of radar are highly diverse, including air and terrestrial traffic control, radar astronomy, air-defense systems, antimissile systems, marine radars to locate landmarks and other ships, aircraft anticollision systems, ocean surveillance systems, outer space surveillance and rendezvous systems, meteorological precipitation monitoring, altimetry and flight control systems, guided missile target locating systems, self-driving cars, and ground-penetrating radar for geological observations. High tech radar systems are associated with digital signal processing, machine learning and are capable of extracting useful information from very high noise levels.
Other systems similar to radar make use of other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. One example is LIDAR, which uses predominantly infrared light from lasers rather than radio waves. With the emergence of driverless vehicles, radar is expected to assist the automated platform to monitor its environment, thus preventing unwanted incidents.

    Mdude: Tanzania haina kifaa cha uokozi kwenye majanga ya Vifusi na maji (rescue radar)

    Hiki kifaa kinatumika wakati wa majanga ya watu waliofukiwa kwenye kifusi au maji ku-scan na kujua walipo. Hiki kifaa TZ haina na kinauzwa milion 10 tu. Ila Samia katoa milion 700 za pongezi kwa Taifa stars, halafu waokoaji Kariakoo wanakisia kutafuta wahanga walipo ili wawaokoe.

    Mifumo ya Rada ya Iran ilidukuliwa kabla ndege za Israel kufika, ndio maana walijipigia walivyotaka na kugeuza bila tatizo

    Hiyo mifumo ilidukuliwa wakapoteana, ndege za Israel zikawa zinajipigia tu, sema tatizo ni kwamba walipiga kwa malengo, hakuna rubani aliyepiga sehemu hakupangiwa, ila ingekua lile agizo la kijeshi inaloitwa "fire at will", Tehran ingewaka moto, maana hilo agizo humaanisha kwamba mwanajeshi...

    Tunasema kwa niaba ya Iran; "Hiloooo sijaumia" Radar S300 na S400 za Iran zimepasuliwa

    Huku unamkuta Ritz na kimsboy na Webabu wanazomea.... "Hilooooooo sijaumia wala nini" aliyegongwa hawezi kukaa vizuri,hawezi kutembea vizuri. Unawatizama unasema "hiiiiiiii" israel walikuwa wanapiga kwa calculation.hawakuwa wanakipigia tu kuua Raia.

    Kipigo cha F-35 za Israel husikika kama ndege zishajiondokea, hamna radar huzigundua

    Yaani ndege zinapaa na kushusha madude na kujiondokea, baadaye mnaanza kulipukiwa, mnatafuta ndege hazipo, zilishapiga. Huwa hazionekani kwa radar yoyote.... na ndio kilichowakuta magaidi wa uislamu, akina Houthi. ======================== The first of these advantages is stealth, the fact that...
