Radar (Radio Detection and Ranging) is a system that uses radio waves to detect, locate, track, and identify objects such as aircraft, ships, vehicles, and weather formations. It works by transmitting electromagnetic waves and analyzing the reflected signals to determine an object's distance, speed, and direction.



Uses of Radar in the National Cadet Corps (NCC) 
The National Cadet Corps (NCC) in India focuses on training cadets in discipline, leadership, and military skills. While NCC cadets do not operate advanced military radar systems, they learn about radar technology for the following purposes:  

1. Basic Awareness & Training 
   - Cadets are introduced to radar principles as part of their military science education.  
   - Understanding how radar helps in surveillance, navigation, and defense.  

2. Air Wing NCC (For Aviation Cadets)  
   - Learning about air traffic control (ATC) radar for aircraft tracking.  
   - Understanding how radar assists in search and rescue operations.  

3. Naval Wing NCC (For Naval Cadets)  
   - Introduction to ship navigation radar for detecting other vessels and obstacles.  
   - Learning about coastal surveillance systems.  

4. Ground Surveillance & Disaster Management
   - Knowledge of how radar aids in weather forecasting (e.g., tracking cyclones).  
   - Understanding its role in disaster management (e.g., flood monitoring).  

5. Military Applications (Theoretical Knowledge)
   - Radar in border surveillance (detecting intrusions).  
   - Role in missile guidance and air defense systems (like Akash missile system).
