radar-based separation
1Radar MASINT — is one of the subdisciplines of Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT) and refers to intelligence gathering activities that bring together disparate elements that do not fit within the definitions of Signals Intelligence (SIGINT),… …
2Separation (air traffic control) — In air traffic control, separation is the name for the concept of keeping an aircraft outside a minimum distance from another aircraft to reduce the risk of those aircraft colliding, as well as prevent accidents due to wake turbulence. Air… …
3Radar warning receiver — Typically fitted to military aircraft, radar warning receivers (RWR) detect the radio emissions of radar systems, whether ground based or on board other aircraft. The system is often capable of classifying the source of the radar by type (Pulsed… …
4radar service — Term used to indicate a service provided directly by means of radar (ICAO). It encompasses one or more of the services based on radar radar monitoring, radar navigational guidance, and radar separation that can be provided by a controller to a… …
5History of radar — The history of radar starts with experiments by Heinrich Hertz in the late 19th century that showed that radio waves were reflected by metallic objects. This possibility was suggested in James Clerk Maxwell s seminal work on electromagnetism.… …
6Wave radar — Ocean surface waves can be measured by several radar remote sensing techniques. Several instruments based on a variety of different concepts and techniques are available to the user and these are all often called wave radars. This article (see… …
7Interferometric synthetic aperture radar — Interferometric synthetic aperture radar, also abbreviated InSAR or IfSAR, is a radar technique used in geodesy and remote sensing. This geodetic method uses two or more synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images to generate maps of surface… …
8Synthetic aperture radar — (SAR) is a form of radar in which the highly directional (and thus very large) rotating antenna used by conventional radar is replaced with many low directivity small stationary antenna positions scattered over some area near or around the target …
9terminal VFR radar service — A program instituted to extend the terminal radar services provided instrument flight rules (IFR) aircraft to visual flight rules (VFR) aircraft. The program is divided into four types of services: basic radar service, terminal radar service area …
10Secondary surveillance radar — SSR antenna of Deutsche Flugsicherung at Neubrandenburg, in Mecklenburg/Western Pomerania Secondary surveillance radar (SSR)[1] is a radar system used in air traffic control (ATC), that not only detects an …
