There are more than one scientists who contributed to the invention of radar. However, the experiments on radar were started by Heinrich Hertz. He discovered that the radio waves were reflected by metallic objects.
The earliest sightings recorded were in world war II.
A radar engineer works with radar. They have design, develop, install, and test a radar.
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.
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.
An FMCW radar may make use of Doppler, but it doesn't necessarily.

As far as I know, radar was invented by a Hungarian scientist named Zoltan Bay. That radar was first used in World War II by the British troops.
Radar was invented in 1935 by Scottish physicist Sir Robert Watson-Watt. He developed the first practical radar system for detecting aircraft.
Radar was first put on ships during WW2.
