Radar systems are pervasive in modern life. Military applications include all of those previously mentioned plus enormously varied additional uses associated with the military missions, such as surveillance, reconnaissance, targeting, and weapons delivery-on land, at sea, and in aerospace. Although military applications dominate, at least as far as big complex radar systems are concerned, nonmilitary applications are legion. Many medium-sized private boats and airplanes are radar equipped, the former for navigation and the latter for obtaining accurate altitude. Commercial airlines and ships are almost all radar equipped. In law enforcement, traffic and border patrol officers often employ radar systems. The Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) operates at least 40 large radar systems and numerous small ones to keep track of the nation's air traffic, with the higher altitudes being under radar control at all times. Many companies and individuals with high-value facilities use radar systems for security.
