Radar, Electronic Warfare, and Electronic Intelligence Testing: Identifying Common Test Challenges

Radio detection and ranging (RADAR) systems, as they were originally called, have blossomed into a wide array of indispensible equipment for military and civilian use. Today, there are many types of radars designed for numerous applications. Scanning radars, moving target indicators (MTI), Doppler weather radars, guided missile seekers, phased-array early warning systems, ground-penetrating radars, synthetic aperture satellite survey radars, aviation radar altimeters, automotive collision-avoidance radars, aircraft radars, and a host of other special- purpose radars define today’s growing industry.
