Abstract
Apparatus is provided in conjunction with a small radar unit, for providing an improved display and additional radar target information. A ball type compass has an optical switching circuit for providing azimuth signals indicating the azimuth orientation of the radar unit. An inclinometer has an optical switching circuit for providing a target inclination signal from which, knowing target range, target altitude is calculated. A radar display in the form of an array of LCD or LED elements is provided.
