ABSTRACT

Experimental dependence is established between the range of observation of reflections from sea surface ("illumination" zone) and detection range of above-water object in microwave band. Methods are suggested of diagnostics of coverage range of marine navigational radars beyond radiohorizon. Results are compared of the coverage range prediction with real data obtained experimentally in various regions of the World Ocean.
