List of radars
Encyclopedia
This is a list of radars. A radar
is an electronic system used to detect, range (determine the distance of), and map various types of targets.
From February 1943 the US used a universal system to identify radar variants, consisting of three letters and a number, respectively designating platform, type of equipment, function, and version. This system was continued after WWII with multiservice designations being prefixed by 'AN/' for Army-Navy.
