This document provides an introduction to radar applications. It discusses how radar is used in military applications like air defense systems and missile tracking. It also outlines its use in remote sensing of weather, air traffic control, law enforcement for speed detection, aircraft safety for navigation and weather avoidance, ship safety for collision avoidance, space applications like satellite tracking, and other uses like oil and gas exploration and animal movement tracking. It provides examples of ground penetrating radar uses and emerging applications in security, automotive safety, and medical diagnostics. In closing, it lists 10 references for further reading.

A pplications of Radar

Radar has many various fields of application as it listed below

Military
Remote Sensing
Air Traffic Control
Law E nforcement and Highway Security
Aircraft Safety and Navigation
Ship S afety
Space
O ther Applications
Military
Important part of air defence system,operation of offensive missiles & other
weapons Target detection, target tracking & weapon control Tracks the
targets, directs the weapon to an intercept and assess the effectiveness of
engagement
Also used in area, ground & air surveillance.

Remote S ensing

Weather observation TV. Reporting Planetary observation


Below ground probing
Mapping of sea ice

A ir T raffic C ontrol
Used to safely control air traffic in the vicinity of the airports and enroute Ground vehicular
traffic & aircraft taxing
Mapping of regions of rain in the vicinity of airports & weather
Law Enforcement & Highway Safety
Radar speed meters are used by police for enforcing speed limits
It is used for warning of pending collision, actuating air bag or warning of obstruction or
people behind a vehicle or in the side blind zone
A ircraft S afety & Navigation

Airborne weather avoidance radar outlines the regions of precipitation & dangerous
wind shear
Low flying military aircrafts rely on terrain avoidance & terrain following radars to
avoid collision with high terrain & obstructions

S hip S afety
Radar is found on ships & boats for collision avoidance & to observe navigation
buoys, when the visibility is poor
Shore based radars are used for surveillance of harbours & river traffic
Space
Space vehicles have used radar for clocking & for landing on the moon Used for
planetary exploration Ground based radars are used for detection & tracking of satellites
& other space objects Used for radio astronomy as shown in the figure below
O ther A pplications
It is used for non-contact measurement of speed & distance Used for oil
& gas exploration
Used to study movements of insects & birds

Ground Penetrating Radar Applications


 Shallow GPR surveys
Locate pipes and utilities Buried objects
Cemeterly & grave location
 Deep gpr surveys
Landfill & trench delineation Bedrock depth studies
Sink hole location
