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.

Why microwave is not used in radar?
Microwave IS used in 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.
What are some nonmilitary uses for radar besides weather?
Radar can be used to detect distance to an object by determining round trip echo time. Some uses below: Level monitoring of substances in a container or silo-the radar antenna transmits downward from the top of the container and determines the distance to the top of the substance, allowing the operator to determine the amount of substance in the tank. Radar can be used by vehicle collision avoidance systems. Basically, any time distance to an object is required, radar is an excellent solution.
What type of electromagnetic wave is used for radar?
It is microwaves that are used for radar. They are high frequency, short wavelength electromagnetic waves, and a number of different frequency ranges of these microwaves are used depending on the application. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on radar and the different bands or ranges of frequencies that are used and their applications.

Im looking for a radar detector that detects the presence of a radar when it is being used?
That would be any radar detector. If you want to detect a radar that is not being used, you need to find a psychic.

What is theDifference between acquisition radar and guidance radar?
In a Military contact Acquisition Radar normally refers to the Search Mode Radar used to scan and track targets before being "target tracked". In this context the "target tracking radar" is used for track and perhaps illuminating a target. If this radar is being used to guide an weapon to the target it is referred to as a guidance radar. However Guidance radar can also exist in the missile seekers.
Is Doppler radar used for finding hurricanes?
Yes, Doppler Radar can be used to find all storms!
Can radar be used to detect tornadoes?
Yes. In fact radar is the primary tool used in detecting tornadoes.
Where was the first Doppler radar used in the US?
The exact location of where the first Doppler radar system was used cannot be determined because the first radar systems were mobile.
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.
