Last week in Bangor the U.S. Air Force showed off the operations center for a new radar system that can "see" up to 3,300 km (2,000 miles), or nearly ten times as far as conventional radar. Built by General Electric, the OTH (for over-the- horizon) radar system was originally developed to give the U.S. military an early warning of any approaching...
