R.A.D.A.R. is the acronym of RAdio Detection And Ranging. Radar is a system that uses electromagnetic waves to identify the range, altitude, direction, or speed of both moving and fixed objects such as aircraft, ships, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain.
By using innovations such as the Doppler shift of reflected waves, various properties can be determined about the relative motion of aerial and ground phenomena.
Its not a perfect acronym. It stands for radio detection and ranging, so it is part acronym and part abbreviation.

Radar is RAdio Detection And Ranging.
Terrestrial radar, using over-the-horizon techniques, around 3000~5000 km. Astronomical radar, at least as far as Venus.
The smallest object most radar can pickup is a bird. Radar used by air traffic control and civilians is less accurate than that of the military.
Typical radar operates in the 50 to 330 megahertz bands. However, long range radar uses ultra high frequencies in the 300 to 1,000 megahertz range.
NO. We call that radar.
You can get some information from radar. Tornadoes often produce an echo with certain recognizable characteristics. Mostly, however, it's eyes on the ground that do the job. This typically takes the form of a spotter network equipped with amateur radio. Spotters can be mobile or fixed. Checkout skywarn for more information.

On a military map it can stand for Secondary Surveillance Radar, Surface Search Radar, Search & Rescue Region, or Soviet Socialist Republic.
On most radar images the colors generally represent how hard it is raining or snowing.

Several companies like Beltronics and Uniden make gps units that feature radar detecting features but it is probably for the best to by separate stand alone units.
