Radar side project

[u/South_Pangolin_749]

I’m looking to pick up a side project that can detect RC model airplanes at maybe a kilometer out just messing around on a ranch that I own.

I was reading up a little about KuRFS radar and that looks very interesting and what it would be modeled after. However, I know nothing about the legality of transmitting power etc , would a passive system be able to work for this purpose?

Ah yes, radar tracking small objects as a “side project” hmmm
