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.

    It is hard to estimate how much time is spent as the idea is discussed more than 3 months ago, the Maths model built in the free time of a whole week. Learning, reverse-engineering, modifying the subframe stuffs took a month. Drawing blueprint and assembling took another month with the complicated structure.

    Calculated, you can draw something with BRCK and it would be detected as long as the PHOT hitting it rebounds back to the receiver array.

    How long did this take to make? Is the return position that finds the bounce position hardcoded or calculated? +1

    Encoded information includes direction, time of emission.

    Some I'm guessing the wavelength of each photon determines along which direction it was emitted?

    FRAY can propel photons

    How do you even get the photons to bend?
