OT: Radar on metal buckets

Not so sensitive, as in signal properties, but as in ability to detect moving targets.

Holy s*it! With that linked to gunnery..they could theoretically shoot down just about anything big enough to put do more than fleck the paint!

Ill bet when they turn that sucker on...birds fall out of the sky, extra crispy

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie

"The radar has been described by Lt. Gen Trey Obering (director of MDA) as being able to track an object the size of a baseball over San Francisco in California from the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, approximately 2,900 miles (4,700 km) away. The radar will guide land-based missiles from Alaska and California, as well as in-theatre assets."

Perhaps I should have said discriminating?

That is a small one. The big ones can track nuts and bolts floating in space and track the orbits of them in real time. They can do ion analysis on incoming objects.

But it is to large for a boat or a ship to tote about so the little brothers and sister units take to the sea.
