The use of the Doppler principle to measure velocity has been underway since the early 1950's. The Doppler principle or effect has been applied to many systems in which velocity is an important variable. The discussion herein will concentrate on the use of a self-contained radar in an airborne vehicle to measure the velocity of that vehicle. Fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters have used Doppler radars successfully for many years, and drone aircraft and missiles are beginning to exploit the low cost and high reliability of Doppler radars.
