Radar resolution is the ability of the radar to differentiate between two targets closely located. The first, and most difficult, is range resolution, finding exactly how far is the target. To do this well, in a basic fire-control radar system, it must send very short pulses. Bearing resolution is typically ensured by using a narrow (one or two degree) beam width. Atmospheric conditions, such as moisture lapse, <a href="/wiki/Inversion_(meteorology)" title="Inversion (meteorology)">temperature inversion</a>, and dust particles affect radar performance as well. Moisture lapse and temperature inversion often cause ducting, in which RF energy is bent as it passes through hot and cold layers. This can either extend or shorten the <a href="/wiki/Radar_horizon" title="Radar horizon">radar horizon</a>, depending on which way the RF is bent. Dust particles, as well as water droplets, cause attenuation of the RF energy, resulting in a loss of effective range. In both cases, a lower <a href="/wiki/Pulse_repetition_frequency" class="mw-redirect" title="Pulse repetition frequency">pulse repetition frequency</a> makes the radar less susceptible to atmospheric conditions. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Countermeasures">Countermeasures</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Fire-control_radar&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Countermeasures"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Most fire-control radars have unique characteristics, such as radio frequency, pulse duration, pulse frequency and power. These can assist in identifying the radar, and therefore the weapon system it is controlling. This can provide valuable tactical information, like the maximum range of the weapon, or flaws that can be exploited, to combatants that are listening for these signs. During the <a href="/wiki/Cold_War" title="Cold War">Cold War</a> Soviet fire control radars were often <a href="/wiki/List_of_NATO_reporting_names_for_equipment" title="List of NATO reporting names for equipment">named</a> and <a href="/wiki/NATO" title="NATO">NATO</a> pilots would be able to identify the threats present by the radar signals they received. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Surface_based">Surface based</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Fire-control_radar&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Surface based"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>One of the first successful fire-control radars, the <a href="/wiki/SCR-584_radar" title="SCR-584 radar">SCR-584</a>, was used effectively and extensively by the Allies during <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> for anti-aircraft gun laying.
