Radar Beacon

Radar Beacon, also known as a racon, is a transponder device that responds to radar signals. It enhances the visibility of a specific location on a radar screen. When a ship or aircraft's radar beam hits the beacon, it sends back a strong signal, making it easier to identify and track. Racons are crucial for navigation in areas with poor visibility or congested waters. They help mariners and pilots accurately determine their position and avoid collisions. With its distinct signal pattern, a radar beacon provides reliable assistance for safe and efficient transportation.
