Even though these are military radars, civilian radars look very similar with the smaller secondary radar mounted on top of the large primary radar. | |

Just to clarify, civilian radars (when used) ALSO use primary radar. They would see "something", but with no xpdr to answer, they wouldn't know who or what the "something was". In Austria, the same radars are used for both military and civilian purposes. | |
