Gator and the radar provided a better picture of their relative positions than eyesight.

The radar is compatible with optically guided missiles like the R-73 and can also provide fire control for aircraft cannon.

These radars would provide vectors to the fighter-interceptors when they found him.

Lompoc's radars provided a complete circle of coverage several hundred miles in radius.

For example, radar can provide an electromagnetic signal for following aircraft motion.

Early Earth-based radar provided a basic idea of the surface.

This radar could provide bearing and distance information, but no altitude information.

But that radar is farther away and provides less precise information.

Fixed radars provide coverage for a very limited area due to the curvature of the Earth.

These radars can provide precision guidance to a distance of 10 to 20 miles.
