What was responsible for improvements in radar and sonar?
No one individual was responsible for improving both (or even either) technology. Radar and sonar were worked on by many investigators over decades to bring them along to the point where they are the effective, reliable tools we look to as we attempt to look at things in the sky, below the water and in the ground. What is arguably the most effective technology in bringing radar and sonar forward is the advancements in electronics, and in computer technology.
What do radar engineers make?
A radar engineer works with radar. They have design, develop, install, and test a radar.
What are the advantages of radar range over radar bearing?
Radar range is the distance of the object from the radar. Radar bearing is the direction of the object in relation to the radar. As radar is primarily used for ranging, the range information may be more important than the bearing.
Is fmcw radar a doppler radar?
An FMCW radar may make use of Doppler, but it doesn't necessarily.
Why microwave is not used in radar?
Microwave IS used in RADAR.
Field Artillery Firefinder Radar Operator?
Field Artillery Firefinder Radar Operators are designated by their Military Occupation Specialty as 13R (MOS 13R). Field Artillery Firefinder Radar Operators, also called simply Firefinder Radar Operators, are responsible for the operation of firefinder radar systems, maintaining radio communications, and constructing fortifications for field artillery equipment. The term “firefinder” is applied to specialized equipment that uses radio or sound waves to detect and determine the location of mortars, aircraft, or other objects. Firefinder radar operators are responsible for using this information to apprise friendly forces of the location of enemy forces. Firefinder radar operators must be have normal color vision in order to correctly interpret data on the radar display screen. Firefinder radar operators go through two training phases: nine weeks of Basic Training, and eight weeks of Advanced Individual Training (AIT). After basic training, students attend AIT courses at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. AIT courses will teach students the basics of operating radar equipment, field tactics, combat communications protocol, and how to estimate the altitude, speed, and direction of travel of objects on the firefinder radar display screen. Firefinder radar operators are also trained how to select appropriate sites for setting up radar equipment in the field. Firefinder radar operators must be U. S. citizens and hold a high school diploma or equivalent. To obtain the MOS 13R rating, they must be between the ages of 17 and 42, hold a security clearance of SECRET, and must have a minimum score of 100 on the Surveillance and Communications (SC) sub-test of the Army Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). In addition, they must satisfy the requirements of the military’s physical profile system. The physical profile for firefinder radar operators is designated by the PULHES number of 222221. The firefinder radar operator position is not open to women. The starting salary for a firefinder radar operator is tied to an individual soldier’s pay grade classification; therefore, annual salaries may vary somewhat. However, the annual base pay for firefinder radar operators is between $17,400 and $22,300. Some enlistment bonuses may apply.
Did Lee Harvey Oswald have a security clearance?
Yes, he had a clearance for Confidential material which is the lowest security clearance available. It does not require a full background check, but was all that he needed to operate a radar system.
What planet's terrain was mapped by space probes using radar?
Magellan, a JPL-led project, used synthetic aperture radar to map Venus. Martin Marietta in Denver built the spacecraft, Hughes in El Segundo built the radar.
WHO WERE radar operators at Pearl Harbor?

Why didn't the radar station alert Pearl Harbor of the attack?
The operators thought that the blips were a scheduled flight of B-17 bombers .
What are radar waves used for?
Radar waves are used for various purposes such as tracking the movement of objects (like aircraft and ships), detecting weather patterns, monitoring speed and distance, mapping terrain, and aiding in navigation for ships and aircraft. Radar is also used in military applications for surveillance and targeting.
When in radar contact who is primarily responsible for VFR aircraft separation?

Which position is responsible for both horizontal and vertical separation between aircraft?
B. Radar controller
How far away can a police radar spot your speed?
Police radar can typically spot your speed from up to a few hundred feet away, depending on the model and conditions such as weather and line of sight. Advanced radar systems may have a longer range, but generally, they are effective within a few hundred meters.
What do air traffic controllers use to monitor and guide planes?
NAVAIDS, Pilotage, Terrain, Radar, Reporting points, GPS, Eyesight, etc. based on location.
What is a radar man in the us navy?
A radarman in the US Navy is responsible for operating and maintaining radar equipment used for detecting and tracking ships, aircraft, and other objects. They interpret and analyze radar data to provide situational awareness to the ship or aircraft they are assigned to. They may also be involved in troubleshooting and repairing radar systems.
What jobs did unmarried women do during World War 2?
