This book focuses on the history, main principles, functions, modes, properties, and specific nature of modern airborne radar. It examines radar's role within the system and shows its possibilities as well as its limitations. A concluding section describes how radar may evolve in the future given the changing operational requirements and the potential opened up by modern technological developments. The authors review the current state of the main types of airborne and spaceborne radar systems, designed for specific missions as well as for the global environment of their host aircraft or satellites. They include numerous examples of the parameters of these radars.
