Over-the-horizon radar

 

Over-the-horizon radar

Over-The-Horizon radar (OTHR) is a design concept for radar system to overcome the problem that radio waves propagate along a linear axis and thus in practice cannot detect reflections below the horizon.

A 1998 publication by the Australian Department of Defence contemplated bouncing radio waves off the ionosphere in order to detect images below the horizon.
