A common use of radar is in forecasting the daily weather For example, they use radar to reflect off of moisture in the air to predict precipitation Airplanes use radar to avoid collisions and to coordinate landings Operators visually watch the radar outputs and relay the information to pilots

2.  Bats use a basic form of radar
 They send sound waves that reflect off of an
object just as electric radar systems do

3.  The first form of radar created by humans
was the telemobiloscope
 It was mainly used to detect ships to avoid
collisions

4.  Radar was kept fairly secret during World
War II
 Following the war, it was published that the
United States used radar to measure the
distance to the moon
 It was later discovered that Hungary had
done this two years earlier than the U.S.

5.  A common use of radar is in forecasting the

6.  Airplanes use radar to avoid collisions and to
coordinate landings
 Operators visually watch the radar outputs
and relay the information to pilots

7.  Police officers use radar to detect people
who drive over the speed limit
 Their radar units are compact for easy
portability and fast, accurate use

8.  Ground mapping radar is often used in
construction settings
 They drag the unit across the ground to
determine if there are any objects or
unstable soil where they plan on building

9.  The military use radar to detect enemy
artillery as well as their own machinery
 They can show where their vehicles and
soldiers are in relation to enemy machines

10.  The US Military is currently using
groundbreaking radar
 This radar allows soldiers to see objects and
people through walls

11.  Technology will continue to grow, and radar
will advance with it
 Growth of radar technologies will be
accompanied by a wider variety of
applications
 Radar in the future will most likely be as
common as cell phone applications are
today
