That is 10 times greater than conventional line-of-sight radar.
The maximum range of a conventional radar can be limited by a number of factors:
The carrying vehicle has also a conventional two-dimensional radar with an effective range of over 25 kilometres.
The maximum range of conventional radar is about 200 miles.
Its range of up to 1,800 miles is nearly 10 times that of conventional radar.
Active arrays have both longer range and higher accuracy than conventional radars.
This contrasts with a conventional radar, which listens for echoes during the periods of silence in between each pulse transmission.
The system, if carried out, could be a major step toward replacing conventional radar.
Understanding transponder systems is simple when one considers the operation of conventional radar.
Like other conventional radars, it "paints" every object and sees what bounces back.
