The applications include surveillance-based radar systems such as ground and area surveillance radars, air surveillance radar and ground penetration radar and tracking based radar systems such as weapon locating radar, ballistic missile defence radar, mortar or shell-tracking radar and so on. The chapter also discusses the radars for navigation and weather forecasting. The SpotterRF series of radars are ultra-lightweight and compact radars designed and particularly suited for detection and tracking of potential threats before they are on the fence line in a perimeter surveillance application. The Scanter-1002 from Terma is a short-to-medium range ground surveillance radar designed for protection of critical infrastructure. Airport surveillance radar is the key constituent of air traffic control and management function, which includes collision avoidance between different aircraft, prevention of obstructions on the ground and maintenance of orderly flow of traffic.Read More
