Handheld radar is a portable device that uses radio waves to detect and locate objects in its vicinity. It is commonly used in various applications such as search and rescue operations, navigation, and military operations. The device emits radio waves that bounce off objects and return to the radar, which then calculates the distance, speed, and direction of the object. Handheld radars are compact and easy to use, making them ideal for outdoor activities and fieldwork. They are also useful for detecting obstacles and hazards in low visibility conditions such as fog or darkness.
