Radar is an essential part of every ship as it ensures the safety of ships at sea and close to the land. Ships use S-band and X-band frequency radar systems for navigation and detection of impending ships or land impediments to avoid a collision. The radars use a revolving antenna to detect the ship’s surroundings. It can detect targets and display data on the screen. Naval system surveillance radars detect small targets at a longer range in bad weather conditions. It employs both X and S-band frequency processes to achieve higher efficiency in detection of small objects at a distance. Solid radar needs minimal maintenance and employs a proprietary low-power pulse sequence.
