Additional Information for Radar Terrain Clearance Set
Radar Terrain Clearance Sets are specialized equipment used in airborne radar systems for detecting and avoiding obstacles such as terrain, buildings, and other obstructions. They are part of the supply class Radar Equipment, Airborne, which falls under the supply group Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment.
These sets typically consist of radar sensors, antennas, and associated electronics that are installed on aircraft. They use radar technology to measure the distance between the aircraft and the ground or other obstacles in its flight path. This information is then used to generate real-time terrain maps and provide warnings to the pilot about potential hazards.

They help pilots maintain a safe distance from the ground and avoid collisions with obstacles, ensuring the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.
