 '''RADAR''' is the acronym for '''Radio Detection And Ranging'''. A Radar emits intensive radio signatures and detects an echoed response. The speed of this signature is approximately at [[light speed]], which makes the emission reach the radar dish in a matter of miliseconds, both under terrestial circumstances and in deep space. A simple radar sign can detect a target's IFF, class and name. Based on at least two response echoes, a target's speed or acceleration can be detected.
