Career center
Learners who complete Radar will develop knowledge and skills
that may be useful to these careers:
Electronic Warfare Officer
Electronic Warfare Officer
Electronic Warfare Officers serve as radar systems operators in addition to operating other electronic warfare equipment. Their roles vary depending on the military branch they serve in. They may analyze radar signals, jam enemy radar, or use radar to coordinate attacks. The course on Radar will help build a foundation for the core responsibilities of electronic warfare officers. The course will also teach a familiarity with radar systems in general, which is likely to be helpful in any role as an EWO.
Radar Technician
Radar Technician
Radar Technicians repair, modify, calibrate or maintain radar equipment and systems used for a variety of purposes including commercial, military or scientific research applications. These systems include radar systems used in air and sea navigation systems, in air defense, and for detecting objects like traffic, weather and aircraft. By taking this course in Radar, you can get solid grounding in very specific concepts that many Radar Technicians would need to be successful. You'll also get a foundation in other concepts that, while not used as often, may nonetheless be helpful in the field.
Radar Systems Engineer
Radar Systems Engineer
Radar Systems Engineers design, develop, test and maintain radar systems. They work with other engineers and scientists to design radar systems that meet specific requirements. The Radar course will provide you with a good foundation for this career, especially if you are interested in the design and development of radar systems.
Air Traffic Controller
Air Traffic Controller
Air Traffic Controllers coordinate the movement of aircraft to ensure safety and efficiency in the airspace. Air Traffic Controllers give pilots instructions for takeoff, landing, and routing, while monitoring their progress on radar screens. The course on Radar will increase your familiarity with radar systems used for air traffic control, which could be helpful in getting started in this role or advancing your career in the field.
Radar Operator
Radar Operator
Radar Operators operate and maintain radar equipment. They use radar to detect and track objects, such as aircraft, ships, and weather systems. The Radar course will help build a solid foundation for the responsibilities of radar operators. You will learn about radar functionality, waveform, hardware, and the radar equation. You will also learn how to estimate the range and velocity of a target using FMCW radar.
Avionics Technician
Avionics Technician
Avionics Technicians maintain and repair avionics systems in aircraft. Avionics systems include radar systems, navigation systems, and communication systems. The Radar course will help you build a strong foundation of radar concepts and principles, which will aid you in servicing aircraft radar systems.
Astronomer
Astronomer
Astronomers study the universe. They use radar to study planets, stars, and galaxies. The Radar course may be useful for astronomers who work with radar data, as it will provide you with a foundation in radar functionality, waveform, and the radar equation.
Meteorologist
Meteorologist
Meteorologists study the atmosphere and predict weather. They use radar to track weather systems, such as hurricanes and tornadoes. The Radar course may be useful for meteorologists that work with radar data, as it will provide you with a foundation in radar functionality, waveform, and the radar equation.
Geologist
Geologist
Geologists study the Earth's history and structure. They use radar to study the Earth's surface and subsurface. The Radar course may be useful for geologists that work with radar data, as it will provide you with a foundation in radar functionality, waveform, and the radar equation.
Oceanographer
Oceanographer
Oceanographers study the ocean. They use radar to study the ocean's surface and currents. The Radar course may be useful for oceanographers that work with radar data, as it will provide you with a foundation in radar functionality, waveform, and the radar equation.
