Short-Range Detection
This is a display of the short-range detection ability of the base. Short
range detection systems have a range of 300 nautical miles.
Long-Range Detection
This is a display of the long-range detection ability of the base. Long
range detection systems have a range of 450 nautical miles.
Note: X-COM radar systems, while very long ranged, rotate very slowly - once
every 10 minutes. This means that your base will detect UFOs more effectively if
more than one radar system is in place.
