the effectiveness of surface radar is affected by several factors: 1.) it is more effective , if it is at a chokepoint because obviously, the radar will cover the whole chokepoint assuming its a very narrow chokepoint 2.) it is more effective if it has nearby sister sites so that their circular coverage areas overlap with each other 3.) it is more effective if it is at a higher geographic point . 4.) some radar models are better than others( if you have the money you get the bigger toy) thus, in blind spots such as open seas not reached by coastal fixed radar sites, maritime recon aircraft and ship radar from patrol ships take up the slack. in addition to radar, we have the bantay dagat "eyeball" radar from fishermen who will report unusual things to authorities. if i recall, thats how mischief reef activities got discovered----> by fishermen in the area who saw the commies doing their mischief |
