Answer:
The maximum detection range is 39.75 km
Explanation:
Given that;
Antenna height h1 = 40 m
Target height ( patrol boat mast ) h2 = 11 m
Using RADAR, what is the maximum detection range = ?
Using RADAR
we know that; Maximum detection range = (√17h1 + √17h2) km
where h1 and h2 are heights of the antenna and target height in meters
so we substitute in our values
Maximum detection range = (√(17 × 40) + √(17 × 11)) km
Maximum detection range = (√680 + √187) km
Maximum detection range = (26.0768 + 13.6747) km
Maximum detection range = (26.0768 + 13.6747) km
Maximum detection range = 39.75 km
Therefore, The maximum detection range is 39.75 km
