The RAF are putting a new radar head back at Saxa Vord in the Shetlands.
Bearing in mind it’s going to be a fixed remote head on a very remote site that they already own and probably still has all the power, comms etc infrastructure intact....it’s costing UK£10 million.
A new RAF radar facility reinforcing the UK’s ability to track unidentified military or civilian aircraft will be powered up ready to operate soon, the head of the RAF heard today.
It’s reported as being a AN/TPS-77 which would have a range of up to 470km/250nm

Basically it's a line of sight calculator. If I am in X location, I can see something at 2500ft up to Y distance, or at 5000ft up to Z distance. The higher a long range search radar is located, the further it can see.
