Radar navigation - Wikipedia
Radar navigation is the utilization of marine and aviation radar systems for vessel and aircraft navigation. When a craft is within radar range of land or special radar aids to navigation, the navigator can take distances and angular bearings to charted objects and use these to establish arcs of position and lines of position on a chart. [1]
Radar determines distance to an object by measuring the time required for a radio signal (moving at the speed of light) to travel from a transmitting antenna to the object,
Marine radar - Wikipedia
Marine radars are X band or S band radars on ships, used to detect other ships and land hazards, to provide bearing and distance for collision avoidance and navigation at sea. [1]

The Radar Navigation and Maneuvering Board Manual (Pub. 1310) contains, in a single volume, information on the fundamentals of shipboard radar, radar operation, collision avoidance, navigation by radar, and a description of vessel traffic systems in US waters.
Navigation - Radar, Sonar, GPS | Britannica
Navigation - Radar, Sonar, GPS: Radio waves with wavelengths in the centimetre range can be beamed by a reflector, like light in an automobile headlamp, to make up a radar system. The narrowness of the beam depends on the length of the waves and on the width of the reflector.
List of radar types - Wikipedia
Navigational radars resemble search radar, but use very short waves that reflect from earth and stone. They are common on commercial ships and long-distance commercial aircraft. Marine radars are used by ships for collision avoidance and navigation purposes.
Radar on ships- types, principle and purpose - BloggingSailor
2022年10月11日 · They are electronic navigation tools that make a picture of the area around the ship by using a rotating antenna, which sweeps a narrow beam of microwaves over the water surface around the ship and to the horizon. As these beams strikes a target and return back, then the target is plotted on the screen of a radar.
Navigating the radar - Nautical Institute
Radar offers the navigator many useful functions for pilotage and coastal navigation: Parallel indexing and relative trails – for track monitoring and control; True vectors – to indicate the vessel’s ground track in steady state conditions; ARPA (also known as target tracking) – to acquire fixed objects to ground stabilise (echo ...
Radar - Imaging, Detection, Navigation | Britannica
2024年11月2日 · Radar - Imaging, Detection, Navigation: Radar can distinguish one kind of target from another (such as a bird from an aircraft), and some systems are able to recognize specific classes of targets (for example, a commercial airliner as opposed to a military jet fighter).

A Radar (Radio Detection And Ranging) is an instrument that can detect surrounding objects using radio waves. Thus, in the maritime world, objects such as ships, buoys or birds can be detected by Radars.
