location 
The radar assembly should be installed in a location where it has an unobstructed view of the area to 
be monitored. Since it is not always possible to get an unobstructed line of sight out to the 
instrumented range, the installation point should be selected so as to maximize the area the radar can 
monitor. One must consider terrain contour, seasonal vegetation changes, and potential obstruction 
from ground vehicles such as cars, trucks and trains, as well as aircraft and ships, since it may change 
over time.
