Radar navigation - radar navigation
The safe and efficient navigation of ships, airplanes, and other moving objects to their destinations using information obtained by radar. The display method of radar used on ships is plan position indication (abbreviated as PPI), and the information obtained from this display is the polar coordinate position of the target reflecting the radar waves, the approximate shape of the target's radio wave reflecting surface, and the radio wave reflection strength of the target. Compared to other radio navigation methods that only provide positional information relative to fixed stations, radar is superior in terms of the variety and quantity of information.
