Application of Radar Technology in Combating Insurgency in Nigeria

Abstract

Nigeria as fondly called the ‘giant’ of Africa has experienced series of insurgency attacks in the recent past. These attacks have claimed many lives and properties worth billions of naira destroyed. The recent abduction of over 200 Chibok school girls by the dreaded Bokoharam groups has provoked the entire world to seek for an alternative means of combating this negative menace. The big question comes to our mind; “WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE”. The solution to this question is not too difficult to arrive at this point in time. Radar technology is the answer. Radar means Radio Detection and Ranging. It is a means of getting information about distant objects or target, by flinging electromagnetic waves at them and analyzing the echoes. The basic principle behind radar is simple - extremely short bursts of radio energy (traveling at the speed of light) are transmitted, reflected off a target and then returned as an echo. This paper aims at exploring the use of Radar systems in tacking insurgency in Nigeria
