HF radar, or High-Frequency radar, uses radio waves to detect and track objects. It operates in the high-frequency band, typically between 3 to 30 MHz. This technology is crucial for various applications, including maritime surveillance and weather monitoring. HF radar systems can detect surface currents and waves. They enhance safety and navigation in coastal regions. HF radar plays a vital role in scientific research and environmental monitoring.
The National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) will install an advanced High-Frequency (HF) radar system in Karaikal, Puducherry by April 2026 to upgrade coastal monitoring, ocean observation, and...
