Some of the key takeaways from the document are that radar is used for detection, tracking, and guidance purposes across various fields like defense, weather monitoring, and air traffic control. It operates based on transmitting and receiving radio waves and can be used to determine attributes of detected objects like position and velocity.

Some basic principles of radar include how it works by transmitting radio waves that bounce off objects and return to the receiver, as well as factors that determine its effectiveness like transmitter power, antenna gain, wavelength, and distance to the target as defined by the radar equation.

TWS allows a radar to perform simultaneous target searching and tracking. Its main functions are target detection, track correlation/association, track initiation/generation, generation of tracking gates, gate prediction/positioning, and display/calculation of future target positions.

Radar transmits radio energy The electromagnetic waves bounce off of objects in range and return to the radar The radar receives the waves, and filters and processes the received signal to produce useful information

Radar equation
Pt = transmitter power Gt = gain of the transmitting antenna Ar = effective aperture (area) of the receiving antenna = radar cross section, or scattering coefficient, of the target F = pattern propagation factor where Rt = distance from the transmitter to the target R = range Rr = distance from the target to the receiver

Concept of TWS
A search radar that can help solve fire control problems. Sensor continues to perform primary function of search (scanning) and data input. Remainder of system performs target tracking function. Eliminates process of target designation from search radar to fire control radar

TWS: Six Basic Functions


Target detection Target track correlation and association Target track initiation and track file generation (if a new target) Generation of tracking Gates Track gate prediction, smoothing and positioning Display and future target calculations

Target Detection / Target Track Correlation and Association


ADT: Primary function is to convert radar data in to a form usable by the computer (TWS system). Target information correlated with currently held track(s). Track Ambiguity resolved.

Track Initiation and Track File Generation


A track file is generated in order to store the position and gate data for each track. The generation of the track file begins with the initial storage of position data along with a code to indicate that an acquisition window has been established.

TWS Radar System Advantages


Elimination of target designation from a search Scan and fire controlsame system radar to a Track on radar. Tracking information used for Trackinginformation is used as a direct data input to the computation of a fire control computation of a fire control solution. solution. Immediate Fire Control Solution As soon as the target is detected, a fire control solution is available without the inherent delay caused by the designation process.

Conclusion
There is number of different types of radar used in different fields for different reasons.Radar is most important in all fields of defence that is Army,Navy and Air force . It can used to detect the different objects and give its possition,to determine the weather condition,ATC ,Missile guidance and many more things. Hence Radar one of the most important electronic divice which are used in all filds for different purpose.
