Radar is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, altitude, direction, or speed of objects. It can be used to detect aircraft, ships, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain. The radar dish or antenna transmits pulses of radio waves or microwaves that bounce off any object in their path. The object returns a tiny part of the wave's energy to a dish or antenna that is usually located at the same site as the transmitter.
Radar was secretly developed by several nations before and duringWorld War II. 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.....
