It means a radar. Range relates to power and the rate at which it

Aegis radar during a pierside test at sufficiently high power, I'm
toasted. But that same radar is radiating across streets and bridges
and houses a mile or two distant,


It might or might not be a radar.
If they are using some forms of localized waves as energy carrier (not very
likely today though) you can get toasted even if you were thousands miles away
from the emitter.


Also could be a Laser. there is a site also in Calif. where a laser
is being projected straight up for a study. cannot remember the exact
location or the details of study. but I looked it up when I heard about
it. and it also shows on the charts as a hazard/restricted fly zone..
been a few years.. think it was around mono lake. ?
