Modern military aircraft contain very sophisticated multiple-purpose radars. Air traffic control depends on a wide range of radars and radar-like navigation devices.
Spacecraft depend on radar for docking, landing and tracking.
Remote-sensing radars on aircraft and spacecraft map the Earth's surface and its changes, and will soon provide information on worldwide winds. Meteorological radars provide information on storms. Ground-penetrating radars find pipes, bedrock, and water tables. The radar systems engineering courses prepare students to work in all of these areas. MS graduates typically obtain jobs in high-technology industry.
