An LRAP is a GPS-guided shell that can provide a precision strike on a target located as far as 100 miles away. Six hund...
The dual-band radarof the DDG 1000 integrates S-band and X-band radar capabilities in a single system. X-band radar operates on a wavelength of 2.5-4 cm and a frequency of 8-12 GHz. Because of its smaller wavelength, X-band radar is more sensitive and can detect smaller objects. S-band radar operates on a longer wavelength, about 8-15 cm and a freq...
Look at a typical battleship, and you'll see an array of spinning dishes and antennas sitting atop a high-profile mast.
