Air Traffic Control Radar

Air Traffic Control Radar is a system that helps air traffic controllers monitor and manage aircraft in the sky. It works by emitting radio waves that bounce off airplanes, allowing controllers to see their location, speed, and altitude on radar screens in real time. This ensures safe distances between planes, coordinated takeoffs and landings, and efficient traffic flow. Radars are essential for maintaining safety and avoiding collisions, especially in busy airspace, and they operate day and night under various weather conditions.
