A 2D radar usually tells the system how far away the target is and in which horizontal direction it sits. A 3D radar adds elevation information, which means the system can estimate where the target is in volume rather than only in plan view.</p> <p>That added dimension changes more than the display. It changes detection confidence, track behavior, and downstream decision quality.</p>
