Radar Systems in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Croatia

Radar je jedan od ključnih uređaja korištenih u vojne svrhe. Radar ima dvojaku ulogu: koristi se u eksplicitno u vojne svrhe poput nadzora zračnog prostora i otkrivanja vojnih ciljeva (borbenih aviona, helikoptera, ratnih brodova...) u zraku i na moru, ali isto tako radar se koristi i u civilne svrhe. Prije svega tu je civilna kontrola zračne plovidbe na aerodromima, ali isto tako koriste se i u zaštiti ribolovnog pojasa i sličnim scenarijima koji nisu primarno vojne zadaće. Kroz ovaj rad opisani su temeljni pojmovi vezani uz namjenu i funkcioniranje radarskih sustava. Nadalje, dan je pregled radarskih sustava koji su bili ili jesu na raspolaganju Oružanim snagama, te je za kraj prezentirana usko povezana civilno – vojna suradnja.The radar is one of the key systems used for military purposes. The radar has a dual role, first of all it can be used for explicit military purposes, such as air space control and detection of military targets (combat aircraft, helicopters, warships ...) in the air and in the sea, but radar is also used for civilian purposes. First and foremost, there is civilian air traffic control at airports, but they are also used to protect the fishing belt and similar scenarios that are not primarily military purposes. This paper describes basic concepts related to the purpose and function of radar systems. Furthermore, it is an overview of the radar systems that were or are available to the Croatian Armed Forces, and closely related civil-military co-operation is presented for the end
