the distance or relative velocity of an object, for
providing a co-ordinated display of the distance and
direction of an object or for obtaining an image thereof;
- systems arranged for mounting on a moving craft or vehicle
and using the reflection of waves from an extended surface
external to the craft, e.g. the surface of the earth, to
determine the velocity and direction of motion of the craft
relative to the surface.

Systems using the reflection or reradiation of acoustic waves, e.g. sonar systems
NOTE
-
This group covers :

- systems for detecting the presence of an object, e.g. by
reflection or reradiation from the object itself, or from
a transponder associated with the object, for determining
the distance or relative velocity of an object, for
providing a co-ordinated display of the distance and
direction of an object or for obtaining an image thereof;
- systems arranged for mounting on a moving craft or vehicle
and using the reflection of waves from an extended surface
external to the craft, e.g. the surface of the earth, to
determine the velocity and direction of motion of the craft
relative to the surface.

This group does not cover :

- systems for determining the direction of an object by means
not employing reflection or reradiation, which are covered
by groups G01S 1/00 or G01S 3/00 ;
