Quote: At least when I was in, back in the late 70s early 80s, the radar primarily worked on doppler effects, basically meaning they showed movement. It was very ineffective in picking up statinary units, the key was to see things moving and thus be able to determine where things were headed, but rarely to know what you were seeing, or to see it when sitting still - but that was fairly early generation systems in the US Marine Corps also.
hmmm...interesting. did the Marine Corps have any equivalent to the radars found in the soviet recon battalion (Tall Mike radar)
or some kind of portable radar?
Quote: Yes, but only if the Bradley is moving. More modern radars will give a better size estimate of the target being scanned, but if the rock you are scanning is the same size as a stationary Bradley the radar can´t tell the difference.
Of course, that would seem likely too.
