If interference is detected, its source (depicted as a yellow dot above) will be located somewhere within this swath. Other military radars that operate on the same C-band frequency include naval radars such as the Japanese FCS-3, the Chinese Type-381 and the Russian S-400 Surface to Air Missile system. All should be detectable when switched on and in view of Sentinel-1. + +# How to find a military radar + +in order to monitor a large area for the presence of ground-based radars in the past seven years, follow these steps: + +1.

Click on a random date in each year to load data from that entire year +- For example, clicking on June 10th, 2018 will load a composite image for all of 2018. +- Repeat this for each year. + +4.If you spot interference, click on it to reveal the dates that the signal is detected. + +5. Zoom to the interference stripe and gradually decrease opacity to find the source of the interference using the high resolution satellite basemap. +
