+
+RADAR EQUATION
+
+Lets start here by mentioning the radar equation that sets the perceived strength of any
+radar echoes, no matter what kind of radar.
+
+Summary of radar equation:
+
+The fundamental radar equation describes how much power returns to a radar system 
+after bouncing off a distant target. Physically, it follows a "round-trip" journey
+of energy: the radar transmits a signal that spreads out as a sphere (losing strength 
+by the square of the distance, $R^2$), hits a target that reflects a portion of that 
+energy (the Radar Cross Section, $\sigma$), and that reflection then spreads out 
+again as a second sphere on its way back (losing another factor of $R^2$). Mathematically, 
+this results in the received power being inversely proportional to the fourth 
+power of the distance ($1/R^4$), meaning that if a target moves twice as far away, 
+the returning signal becomes 16 times weaker. To calculate the final received power 
+($P_r$), you multiply the transmitted power ($P_t$) by the antenna's ability to 
+focus that energy (Gain, $G$) and its physical size (Aperture, $A$), then factor 
+in the target's reflectivity ($\sigma$) and the wavelength of the signal ($\lambda$), 
+all while dividing by the spreading losses $(4\pi)^3 R^4$.  
+$$P_r = \frac{P_t G^2 \lambda^2 \sigma}{(4\pi)^3 R^4}$$
+
+
+Since we had four distinct radar types, and each one has it's own hardware loop gain 
+that does not change, we can set that as a constant in each radar's target handling shader set.
