3.17 RADAR DETECTOR
Description
The radar detector provides the pilot an omnidirectional alert (visual and aural), an indication
on the direction and on the nature of the threat when the aircraft is illuminated by a tracking or
fire control radar.
The detected radar transmissions are of the following type:

Aimed pulse modulated radar ( ): antenna aimed at the target during tracking.

Track While Scan (TWS) pulse modulated radar: the antenna keeps scanning during
tracking.

Continuous wave (CW) radar: for example, ground-to-air missile guidance.
