This is an incomplete list of ground-based radars operated by the United States Marine Corps since the service first started utilizing radars in 1940. [1] The Marine Corps' has used ground-based radars for anti-aircraft artillery fire control, long range early warning, Ground-controlled interception (GCI), ground directed bombing, counter-battery radar, short-range cueing for man-portable air ...
The Obstacle Collision Avoidance System (OCAS) is designed to alert pilots if their aircraft is in immediate danger of flying into an obstacle.OCAS uses a low power ground-based radar to provide detection and tracking of an aircraft's proximity to an obstacle such as high buildings, power line crossings, telecom towers or wind turbines.
AN/MPN-1 ground control radar; AN/MPN-2 ground control radar; AN/MPN-3 ground control radar; AN/MPN-5 ground control radar; AN/MPN-11 ground control radar; AN/MPN-13/14 ground control radar; AN/MPN-26 ground control radar; AN/MPQ-4 Counter-mortar (Firefinder) Radar (replaced by AN/TPQ-36 & AN/TPQ-37) AN/MPQ-14
Some of the systems are designed to avoid collisions with other aircraft and UAVs.They are referred to as "electronic conspicuity" by the UK CAA. [6]Airborne radar can detect the relative location of other aircraft, and has been in military use since World War II, when it was introduced to help night fighters (such as the de Havilland Mosquito and Messerschmitt Bf 110) locate bombers.
A variety of technologies are used to detect landmines, improvised explosive devices (IED) and unexploded ordnance (UXO), including acoustic sensors, animals and biologically-based detection systems (bees, dogs, pigs, rats), chemical sensors, electromagnetic sensors and hyperspectral sensor analysis, generalized radar techniques, ground ...
Flexnet™ is a Unattended Ground Sensor capability, [9] from the Swedish company Bertin Exensor, subsidiary of Bertin Technologies. It includes sensors with embedded processing, GPS, and radio communication. Those sensors are based on seismic-acoustic detection, passive infrared, electro-optical and magnetic detection techniques.
RWR systems can be installed in all kind of airborne, sea-based, and ground-based assets such as aircraft, ships, automobiles, military bases. Depending on the market the RWR system is designed for, it can be as simple as detecting the presence of energy in a specific radar band, such as the frequencies of known surface-to-air missile systems ...
Between 1998 and 2007, 33 serious adverse drug or device reactions have been reported by RADAR investigators. The toxicities involved multiple biological system and included thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) (ticlopidine and clopidogrel), thromboembolism (thalidomide and lenalidomide), liver failure (gemtuzumab and nevirapine), hypersensitivity (drug eluting coronary arterial stents ...
