Radar measures the time for the echo of a radio wave to return from it and from the direction which it returns. A chronometer is a highly accurate timepiece such as a watch where great accuracy is required. It is also used for determining longitude at sea. Unlike radar, a chronometer does not discharge an echo signal

No. RADAR stands for RAdio Direction And Ranging. RADAR uses the reflection of pulses of radio waves from objects to measure the direction and range (distance) of the objects from the RADAR unit.
