Not all aircraft have radar. The main guide is in the commercial area and private jets.

There are normally 2 units, most fitted in the nose cone of the craft.

There is now one "piece " that can fail so being specific about repairs is difficult. However, as the 2 units (weather and detecting) are classed as vital services a unit is failing before take off then its customary if the failure is not easily correct to replace the unit so that the broken on goes on bench repair.

What is the difference between radar identification and radar contact?

Radar identified refers to your aircraft's position presented on a ground based radar screen and by using a squawk code in the aircraft which corresponds to the ground based station your aircraft is then identified. Radar control refers to an aircraft already identified on the radar screen and flying in controlled airspace under an IFR flight plan and the ground based station would provide heading, speed and altitude you should fly at.

When was radar used?

Radar was invented and first used during the second world war. It is still, very much in use today.It's original use was to detect, and thus prepare for, fighter aircraft and bombers.Ships and aircraft use radar for navigation and collision avoidance.Air traffic control use radar to keep track of aircraft and keep them safe.Weather stations use radar to detect rain clouds.Radar is also being used in, experimental, driverless cars.

What are two uses of radar?

The modern uses of radar are highly diverse, including air traffic control, radar astronomy, air-defense systems, antimissile systems; marine radars to locate landmarks and other ships; aircraft anticollision systems; ocean surveillance systems, outer space surveillance and rendezvous systems; meteorological precipitation monitoring; altimetry and flight control systems; guided missile target locating systems; and ground-penetrating radar for geological observations. High tech radar systems are associated with digital signal processing and are capable of extracting objects from very high noise levels.
