Finally, @TNP99999, the first precise radar with both direction and ranging. @Public, This is a showcase of how a radar can be made. Works best in space but I want to shows you its downsides.

    That's some really impressive math.

    thats the first time i see someone use DD/MM/YYYY format

    Hm... dunno how it works internally, but if here are a few ideas: add a collimator (basically a raster to only absorb straight flying phot) to make it more specific. also, slightly decrease the scan speed, so it can achieve higher precision. dunno if that is possible, but here ya go.

    You can also actively jam the radar, since the detection mechanism can only take in a limited amount of photon data at a time.

    dont forge that in real life, nothing is perfectly smooth, therefore nothing is a perfect mirror. You can simulate the bumpiness with, bumpiness. Thats why you can see something even if its rotated.

    Anything triangular is stealth

    Wow. This must've been difficult to design. +1

    Partial absorption element includes PLNT ACID POLO NBLE GOLD PLUT GOO URAN LAVA C4 NITR, which absorption spectrum prevents accurate directioning/ranging so PHOT rebounded from these elements are filtered, possible for stealth. DUST SNOW have narrow absorption spectrum so they are still detected.
