Radar (Radio Detection and Ranging) was a surveillance technology that was used to its fullest extent in Second World War, and the Tiberium wars that followed. As its name implies, radar made use of simple radio and microwave transmissions to reveal key locations to commanders via the EVA network, allowing them to command and guide their forces with precision and efficiency. On top of this, the availability of a radar station granted commanders access to secret communication channels with their respective militaries, opening availability to special technologies and soldier divisions to support their war efforts.
