Duga-1 was part of an early warning network project designed to detect Soviet intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launches by identifying the ionospheric traces left by exhaust plumes immediately after launch. Over-the-horizon radar technology relies on the principle of reflecting radio waves off the ionosphere to extend range thousands of kilometers beyond the line-of-sight limitations of conventional radar. By following a double-hop path—“ground-ionosphere-target-ionosphere-ground”—the s

Duga-1, Sovyetler Birliği'nin kıtalararası balistik füze (ICBM) fırlatmalarını, fırlatmadan hemen sonra egzoz gazlarının iyonosferde bıraktığı izleri tespit ederek saptamak üzere tasarladığı bir erken uyarı radar ağı projesinin bir parçasıydı. Ufuk ötesi radar teknolojisi, Dünya'nın küreselliği nedeniyle standart radarların "görüş hattı" ile sınırlı olan menzilini, radyo dalgalarını iyonosferden yansıtarak binlerce kilometre öteye taşıma prensibine dayanır.

Duga-1 was part of a long-range radar network project designed to detect intercontinental ballistic missiles launched by the Soviet Union by identifying the ionospheric trails left by exhaust plumes immediately after launch. Over-the-horizon radar technology relies on the principle of reflecting radio waves off the ionosphere to extend range far beyond the line-of-sight limitations of conventional radar. By following a double-hop path—ground-ionosphere-target-ionosphere-ground—the system could d
